Santana & Ortiz vs. Brayden Lee & Isaiah Moore (AEW Tag Team Debut) on AEW Dark: Elevation

Paul Wight called Santana and Ortiz the gatekeepers of the AEW roster before the match got underway. As expected, Eddie Kingston denied the claim with a monosyllabic response.

Santana was incredibly smooth during the early sequences with Brayden Lee. He viciously dropkicked Lee in the back of his neck before tagging Ortiz in. They dismantled Lee by sending him face-first into the turnbuckle, followed by an assisted powerbomb.

Ortiz allowed Brayden to tag Isaiah Moore, who got taken down with a leg lariat. Moore used his quickness for a one-count following a Pele kick. Ortiz maneuvered his way into a Northern Lights suplex. Santana wiped out Brayden Lee on the outside with a moonsault off the middle turnbuckle.

The Inner Circle members isolated Moore and hit a discus lariat-enziguri combo for the win.

Tony Nese vs. Vic Capri (AEW Debut) on AEW Dark: Elevation

Vic Capri is a respected veteran in pro wrestling circles as he has been around in the business since early 2000s. Capri briefly appeared in the WWE in 2001, where he wrestled and lost two matches on Jakked tapings. He deservedly got support from his hometown fans before the bout.

Tony Nese asserted his dominance with a few chops. Vic Capri responded with stiff forearm shots. Nese floated around the ring as he got a two-count from a springboard moonsault.

Capri fought out of a headlock but got sent into the corner. He rolled out of an incoming strike and stunned Nese with a boot to the side of the head.

Vic got a good two-count but sadly got caught in a brutal sit-out piledriver.

Hardy Family Office (Matt Hardy, Isiah Kassidy & The Blade) vs. Dark Order's Evil Uno, Stu Grayson & Alan "5" Angels on AEW Dark: Elevation

Mark Henry joined the commentary team before the match as the Hardy Family Office walked out to the ring.

The Dark Order got one of the loudest pops of the evening as they were blindsided before the bell went off. Big Money Matt got to work and landed three leg drops on Alan Angels.

The Blade got the tag and continued from where Matt Hardy left off by grinding his knees in Alan's face. Kassidy got a two-count with a shoulder block.

HFO was in the driver's seat as Angels looked to create some separation. Alan countered the Poetry in Motion with a hurricanrana on Kassidy. He rocked Hardy with an enziguri and then dumped Blade outside the ring.

He missed the tag, though, as Kassidy and Blade knocked off the other members of the Dark Order from the apron. Hardy got a near fall with a side effect on Angels.

Kassidy returned to the ring, but Angels wasn't home for the Swanton Bomb. Angels finally tagged Stu Grayson, who took Kassidy out with a Belly-to-belly suplex.

The Blade and Grayson brawled in the middle of the ring as Stu wasn't willing to take his foot off the gas. Uno came in and was involved in some tandem offense with Grayson. He got a near fall over Blade with an assisted reverse DDT.

Evil Uno then chopped Blade, who tried to fight his way out to the corner. Matt Hardy got back in, and he slapped Angels in the back. Grayson countered the Twist of Fate with one of his own! The crowd popped for that as Angels delivered a massive Frog Splash.

The other HFO members stopped the pinfall and escaped a possible upset. Grayson attacked Blade with a tornillo as Hardy and Angels continued the match in the ring.

Grayson blocked a top-rope suplex and knocked Hardy back down to the mat. Angels reversed the Side Effect into a roll-up, but Hardy somehow kicked out. Isaiah Kassidy used the referee's distraction to land a blindside kick. Hardy capitalized and hit the Twist of Fate on a wobbly Angels for the win.
