Tony Khan has taken to Twitter to announce that AEW will be airing a special episode of Dark: Elevation later today.

As per the AEW President, this Elevation outing will air at 7pm ET on the company's YouTube channel. Of course, Dark: Elevation is a weekly show that airs on Mondays, with the main AEW Dark programme hitting YouTube each and every Tuesday.

In terms of what to expect from this special Dark: Elevation episode - which was taped last night - likely the most intriguing element is the AEW in-ring debut of former MLW star and nowadays GCW favourite Mance Warner. Ol' Mancer is set to face interim AEW World Champion Jon Moxley on Friday's Rampage, and so he's getting a tune-up fight against perennial enhancement talent Serpentico.

The full card for tonight's Elevation reads as:

- Mance Warner vs. Serpentico

- Tony Nese & Josh Woods vs. Dean Alexander & Damian Chambers

- Hikaru Shida vs. Emi Saukra, with Madison Rayne on commentary

In addition to Warner facing Moxley on Friday, the duo of Nese and Woods will square off against AEW Tag Team Champions Swerve Strickland and Keith Lee in a Friday Night Street Fight on this week's Rampage.
