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.
