6 Ups & 8 Downs From AEW Dark (Oct 13)
2. Red Velvet vs. Elayna Black
This was Red Velvet's first AEW win, and it appears that the (former?) enhancement talent is growing into a bigger role in Jacksonville. Currently embroiled in a storyline pitting her and Brandi Rhodes against Anna Jay and Tay Conti, there are signs that the promotion plans on doing something with her, and it wouldn't be a huge surprise to see a "Red Velvet is All Elite' banner appear on Twitter before long.

Nonetheless, this was another basic Dark match. Black looks a solid wrestler and is likely worth another shot, though the basic, repetitive layout renders this a pass, particularly as the only storyline development came from Rhodes in the announce booth. There was no sign of Tay or Conti.
