Private Party & Jora Johl vs. Orange Cassidy, Chuck Taylor & Wheeler Yuta on AEW Dark: Elevation
Trending
Before the AEW match started, Jora cemented his heel turn by unveiling a Milwaukee Bucks jersey during his entrance with Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy. The Indian star, however, looked reluctant as he wore the shirt as per Matt Hardy's orders.
Taylor's scoop slam got an awkward scream out of Kassidy, and Wheeler Yuta entered and continued the excellent work for his team.
Private Party worked together to send Yuta outside before Quen wiped him out with a front flip dive.
Kassidy and Quen used all the underhanded tactics to keep Wheeler Yuta in their corner. Wheeler connected with two kicks and a double dropkick from the top to buy some time for the hot tag.
Jora Johl finally got the tag, and he pulled the jersey off. Yuta also got Orange Cassidy into the match, who engaged in a standing switch tussle with Jora.
Cassidy picked up momentum and took Private Party out with a tope suicida. Chuck laid out Jora with an STO before Yuta came down with a frog splash.
Kassidy saved the match for his team by breaking the pin. Private Party hit the Silly String move on Yuta, which forced Taylor to save the match for the babyfaces.
Taylor took Kassidy out with a plancha on the outside. Cassidy was tasked with dealing with Quen and did so with a perfect Orange punch. In the meantime, Yuta isolated a vulnerable Jora Johl to get a roll-up win.
Result: Orange Cassidy, Chuck Taylor & Wheeler Yuta def. Private Party & Jora Johl on AEW Dark: Elevation

Jora Johl's tryout match didn't go as planned, but the storyline is most likely building up to a major surprise.

AEW Dark: Elevation Main Event - Darby Allin (w/ Sting) vs. Angelico (w/ Matt Hardy & Isiah Kassidy)
The crowd popped the hardest for Sting and Darby Allin as the duo came out for one of the biggest matches in AEW Dark: Elevation's short history.
Angelico and Darby Allin started the main event with an aggressive collar and elbow tie-up.
The former TNT Champion was just too quick for Angelico as he moved around like an absolute ninja in the ring! The TH2 member, though, used his veteran in-ring experience to hurt Darby Allin's left knee.
Angelico had found a body part to exploit, and he began executing a solid game plan. Allin fought back with a wristlock, but Angelico forced a rope break.
Angelico paint brushed Allin's face with a big boot followed by a simple body drop. Darby Allin continued to get a lot of punishment on his left leg but still managed to block a suplex on the top.
He scored a two-count with a sunset flip and kept Angelico on the mat with two more pinning combinations. Darby delivered a massive stunner before proceeding to the top for the Coffin Drop.
Result: Darby Allin def. Angelico on AEW Dark: Elevation
Grade: B-
The post-match angle saw Christian Cage rush to the ring to help Allin and Sting in a brawl with the Hardy Family Office. Christian took care of Matt Hardy while Sting executed Stinger splashes on the remaining H.F.O. members.
Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky joined the party but refrained from getting physical with Sting and Allin.
The show didn't end until Sting took the microphone and had a message for a fantastic Miami crowd. Sting declared, "AEW wins again," before passing the mic over to Darby Allin. The former TNT titleholder had one final address to Ethan Page before their Coffin match at AEW Fyter Fest.
