AEW Rampage results 05/05/23: The Hardys delete The Firm

Get all the details on The Firm Deletion and much more on Rampage.

Few things, even in the wild world of pro wrestling, are as reliably off the rails as a cinematic match filmed at the Hardy Compound. And folks, we’ve got one tonight on AEW Rampage.

Matt and Jeff Hardy, along with Isiah Kassidy, are looking to rid themselves of their ties to The Firm for good, and they’ve enlisted some pretty good assistance in the form of Hook. We mean, he’s a heck of a lot better than Stokely Hathaway on the other side.

While there’s no telling what we might get in The Firm Deletion, you can be pretty darn sure that what’s in store during the show-opening trios match that features the Lucha Bros. teaming with the most exciting luchador on the planet right now.

Let’s get to it.
