Although this was already known to fans who aren't averse to spoilers, the Elevation tapings hosted the return of Konosuke Takeshita to AEW for the first time in over a year. The DDT standout wrestled Undisputed Elite stooge Brandon Cutler in his comeback bout.

Takeshita recently returned to the United States for a year-long excursion that will see him based primarily in AEW. While Tony Khan's promotion is yet to announce anything for him on TBS or TNT, the 26-year-old is already filling his diary with big independent matches, with clashes opposite 'Speedball' Mike Bailey (West Coast Pro, 10 June) and Aramis (Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, 1 May) on deck.

Regarded as one of the best wrestlers in Japan, Takeshita last wrestled for AEW in April 2021, embarking on a quickfire three-match run that saw him team up with Kenny Omega in two separate multi-person tags.

Also lined up for tonight's episode of Dark: Elevation is NJPW legend Minoru Suzuki vs. QT Marshall.
