History:
On October 2nd, 2019, All Elite Wrestling's (AEW) flagship program, AEW Dynamite, premiered on TNT. During the event, there were four dark matches, two before and two after the live broadcast. A program entitled AEW DARK, which began airing on AEW's YouTube channel on Tuesday, October 8th, 2019, would showcase these dark matches. Unlike the dark matches of other wrestling promotions, which generally do not affect storylines, the matches featured on DARK are part of AEW's storylines and count towards the wrestlers' match statistics.
On February 24th, 2021, AEW announced a new spinoff of DARK would premiere on Monday, March 15th, titled AEW DARK: Elevation. The promotion's third weekly program, it was announced that it would stream on Monday Nights at 7 PM EST on AEW's YouTube channel. It was also announced that Elevation would feature the promotion's established and rising stars, as well as top wrestlers from the independent circuit. Like DARK, matches on the new program maintain storyline continuity and match statistics with AEW's other programming. Wrestling veteran Paul Wight, formerly known as the Big Show in WWE, was announced to be doing commentary for Elevation alongside Tony Schiavone after he was signed. This was later changed to be Matt Menard. With the premiere of AEW Rampage on August 13th, 2021, which also airs on TNT, AEW President and Chief Executive Officer Tony Khan said that Dynamite and Rampage would be AEW's core properties, while their YouTube shows, DARK and DARK: Elevation, would be their peripheral properties, essentially their developmental shows.
Elevation aired its last episode on April 24, 2023. Both it and AEW DARK were canceled, for the time being, to make way for AEW's upcoming television program, AEW Collision, which is set to premier in June 2023. This was due to a new deal with AEW's broadcast partner Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD), in which all of AEW's programs would air exclusively on WBD's channels.
