Main Event: Kenny Omega, MT Nakazawa & Konosuke Takeshita vs. Matt Sydal, Mike Sydal & Danny Limelight on AEW Dark: Elevation
Kenny Omega went straight to the commentary booth and expressed his displeasure at being on AEW Dark: Elevation.
Kenny Omega got a headset and was set to communicate with Nakazawa while the match was on.
Nakazawa and Limelight started the main event. MT and Omega stalled the match by talking to each other. They were just 15 feet away, and Paul Wight rightfully found the whole schtick ridiculous!
Nakazawa tagged Omega, and the AEW World Champion was ready to lock up with Limelight.
Omega continued to delay the inevitable by chatting with Nakazawa on the headset. Takeshita was now the legal man, and the match finally got underway.
Takeshita dropped Limelight with a faceplant that had a lot of height. He tagged Omega, who came in with a double ax handle from the top. Nakazawa also hit a double ax handle, followed by a scoop slam. Omega and MT worked in tandem to work on Limelight's shoulder joints.
Nakazawa and Omega made quick tags, but Takeshita was also aching to get a piece of the action as well. Limelight created some separation by sending Kenny and MT outside and hitting a plancha on both heels.
Mike Sydal got into the match and hit a nice enziguri on MT, followed by a standing moonsault for a two-count. Matt Sydal came in, and the brothers hit stereo knees from the top.
Omega hit a cheap knee shot, and Matt Sydal got caught in a fallaway crucifix. Kenny got the tag, and the AEW World Champion executed a backbreaker on Matt for a two-count on AEW Dark: Elevation.
Omega accused Takeshita of not putting the boot up in the corner. The Japanese star still got the tag, and he hit a dropkick on Matt. Limelight broke the pinfall, and Omega entered the match once again.
The AEW World Champion and Takeshita hit double back elbows on Matt Sydal. Matt blocked two suplex attempts, but The Cleaner slugged him with another double ax handle and a few downward elbows.
Sydal kneed Omega in the head in response and hit a spinwheel kick on the AEW World Champion. Limelight and Takeshita came in, and Danny executed a Tiaras takeover. Limelight hit a blockbuster from the top for a near fall on Takeshita.
The Sydals and Limelight attacked Takeshita in the corner. The Japanese star received some much-needed backup as Omega and Nakazawa came in to isolate Limelight.
Takeshita hit a powerbomb on Limelight, but Danny kicked out of the pinfall. MT and Takeshita hit atomic drops on Limelight before Omega hit the Kotaro Crusher in the AEW Dark: Elevation match.
Takeshita connected with a running lariat on Limelight. Danny miraculously stayed alive in the match!
Omega set up the stage for the finish, and he attempted the snapdragon suplex, but Limelight fought it off.
He got out of the Full Nelson but ate a spinning elbow. Omega hit the snapdragon, but Limelight landed on his feet.
Danny reversed the One-Winged angel, and Matt Sydal came in from the top with a double knee strike on Omega.
Limelight followed it up with a top-rope spinning DDT on Omega. The champion kicked out at two and a half. Mike Sydal went up, and he stopped a Nakazawa distraction.
Omega, however, took advantage of the chaos and hit the snapdragon suplex on Mike Sydal.
Takeshita got the tag, hit the pump kick on Mike, and the follow-up brainbuster. Mike Sydal, believe it or not, kicked out and the match continued! Mike missed the lariat but still caught Takeshita in a roll-up.
Mike Sydal hit a head kick and went up to the top rope. Nakazawa dropped him down, but Matt tried to help his brother. Mike, unfortunately, got trapped in an awkward position in the corner.
Takeshita went to the other side and executed a coast-to-coast dropkick.
Takeshita then hit a gutbuster on Mike. Omega cleared the ring, and Takeshita finally ended the AEW Dark: Elevation match with the bridged German suplex.
Phenomenal match!
