While “We want Cody” may have been the headline in the pro wrestling news this week, AEW continues its in-ring action with Rampage, maintaining the momentum from one of the best episodes of Dynamite ever.
This episode doesn’t shy away from featuring big names. With the Undisputed Kingdom fighting the Best Friends, the new-look Matthew and Nicholas Jackson in action, and the rare AEW women’s main event, the show deviates from its typical “C” show status. Let’s dive straight into the action from Phoenix.
AEW Rampage results:
- Roderick Strong, Matt Taven and Mike Bennett (with Adam Cole in a wheelchair and Wardlow at ringside) def. Orange Cassidy, Trent Beretta and Rocky Romero by pinfall; Strong hit Heartache on Romero through a handful of chairs after the match
- A video package recaps Swerve Strickland vs. Hangman Adam Page from Dynamite
- The Young Bucks def. Mondo Rox and Robbie Lit by pinfall; Matthew and Nicholas Jackson enter the venue, still wearing their blood-soaked suits from Dynamite, to a new video and music that had “Succession” vibes
- After the match, Matthew and Nicholas say they’re exhausted by everyone’s disrespect; Nicholas demands everyone call them by their full names; Matthew congratulates Darby Allin and Sting for winning the AEW World Tag Team Championship, but he says Allin and Sting “are a little banged up” after their win and hopes they’re OK; Matthew says their goal is to win the titles back and it begins with a match on Wednesday’s Dynamite
