9 Ups & 2 Downs For AEW Dark: Elevation

7. Much-Needed Character Progression

Miro & Kip Sabian Vs. Baron Black & Vary Morales wasn't a mere character showcase, or an injection of star-power Dark doesn't usually bother with in the form of Miro.

Sabian got too cute with his offence, and found himself on the wrong end of several pinning predicaments in a development that hinted towards Miro tiring of this sh*t. Miro, tossing the enhancement guys aside with a ghoulishly fun recklessness, looked as dangerous as Sabian did inept - by calculated design. Miro eventually looked halfway impressed with Sabian when 'Superbad' secured the win, but he refused to allow Penelope Ford to join the celebrations. This frivolous and damaging nightmare run appears to be disintegrating.

Good.
