Did you know that the next AEW pay-per-view isn’t really an AEW PPV at all?
Yep. We’re only a little more than a week away from Death Before Dishonor, a Ring of Honor pay-per-view with a fantastic name that fits the promotion’s ethos perfectly, even under new management. A handful of matches have already been revealed, including a much anticipated rematch between FTR and The Briscoe Brothers.
This is all relevant because the ROH World Championship is being defended tonight on Rampage. Also on tap is what should be a banger of a main event between the Lucha Bros. and Private Party, giving us fond memories of 2019. Oh, and it’s still Week 1 of Fyter Fest, so there’s that.
Let’s get to it!
AEW Rampage Fyter Fest Week 1 results in 30 seconds:
- Kings of the Black Throne def. John Silver and Alex Reynolds by pinfall, which was apparently an upset according to the tag team rankings … and Darby Allin and Sting attacked the House of Black after the match
- Miro wonders if the House of Black was supposed to destroy him or recruit him
- Jonathan Gresham def. Lee Moriarity by submission to retain his ROH World Championship
- Gresham insists he’s the best technical wrestler in the world and will outclass “all of your favorites” in AEW, but Claudio Castagnoli comes out to potentially object to that
- Christopher Daniels delivers a warning to Jay Lethal
- Kris Statlander and Athena def. The Renegade twins by pinfall in a matter of minutes, and interim Baddie Leila Gray takes a beating until Jade Cargill and Kiera Hogan run down to handle their own business
- Stokely Hathaway tries to recruit Moriarity, but Matt Sydal has a match lined up for him next week against someone who wrestles with heart: Dante Martin
- Billy Gunn and the Gunn Club want to explain their recent actions, but The Acclaimed are here to fight, not scissor, and the Ass Boys won’t give the people the match they want to see
- Lucha Bros. def. Private Party by pinfall despite interference by Rush
