It’s time to find out who’s going to be next to challenge Toni Storm for the AEW Women’s World Championship.
There are a handful of wrestlers with their eyes on Storm’s title, so the easiest way to settle the pecking order among them is to throw them into one match. Naturally.
That happens tonight on AEW Rampage, with Britt Baker, Skye Blue, Mercedes Martinez and Nyla Rose all vying for the title shot. Logic would dictate that Baker will win, both because she’s the highest profile competitor and is part of an ongoing narrative with Storm and The Outcasts, but you never know.
This episode of Rampage will also have a couple of intriguing trios matches (any night where Rey Fenix and The Acclaimed are all competing is a good one) and Powerhouse Hobbs will be in action as well.
So even though I’m personally invested in and distracted by Game 4 of the NBA Finals (#BringItIn), I’m looking forward to this Rampage as well. Let’s see what we’ve got.
AEW Rampage results:
- Lucha Bros. and Bandido def. Ethan Page, Big Bill and Lee Moriarty by pinfall after Matt and Jeff Hardy and insist that Page pull up Jeff Hardy-like arm sleeves, after which he is quickly pinned by Bandido
- QTV is back in effect, with QT Marshall saying they need to be edgier, but despite one funny joke about “making an announcement about an announcement,” they settle on just sending Powerhouse Hobbs out to show people what Collision will be about
- Powerhouse Hobbs def. Caleb Crush in a squash
- Arn Anderson gives Renee Paquette an update on his son Brock and warns Christian Cage and Luchasaurus that what goes around, comes around; Wardlow says he’ll make them pay but needs to take care of Jake Hager first
- The Acclaimed and Daddy Ass def. Spanish Announce Project by pinfall
- Paquette attempts to interview Jay Lethal, Jeff Jarrett and company but Karen Jarrett wants to use the time to handle her beef with Aubrey Edwards; the referee arrives with Mark Briscoe in tow, and Edwards says she’s going to kick Karen’s ass despite AEW not sanctioning a match between them; Briscoe says AEW will sanction a mixed trios match, which will be Lethal and the Jarretts against Edwards, Mark … and Papa Briscoe!
- Skye Blue def. Nyla Rose, Mercedes Martinez and Britt Baker to earn an AEW Women’s World Championship match on the next episode of Dynamite
