Well this has been quite the week in AEW. A week unlike any other, one might even say. Happily, AEW Dynamite provided a nice reset of sorts, and since tonight’s AEW Rampage was filmed right after that, it should keep the good vibes going.
A high quality main event will certainly help with that, and this show has that covered in the form of a ROH World Championship Match with Claudio Castagnoli defending against Dax Harwood. There’s also a Grand Slam Tournament of Champions match in store, with young lions (not the NJPW kind, mind you) Darby Allin and Sammy Guevara doing battle.
And hey, that bout is up first, so we’re going to be off and running. Let’s get to it.
AEW Rampage results:
- Sammy Guevara def. Darby Allin by pinfall to advance in the AEW Grand Slam Tournament of Champions, and will face Jon Moxley next week on Dynamite
- Samoa Joe is glad to be back in AEW, and when Josh Woods steps up looking for an opportunity, Joe wants to grant it right away, but Smart Mark Sterling says it’ll happen next week in Albany
- Serena Deeb def. Madison Rayne by submission
- Jade Cargill says Athena was just another day in the neighborhood, and she’s looking forward to rolling on to 50-0 or beyond
- Powerhouse Hobbs scoffs at the idea that his victory over Ricky Starks was a surprise, and he looks forward to showing everyone just who he is going forward
- Claudio Castagnoli def. Dax Harwood by submission to retain the ROH World Championship
