Eventually, Orange Cassidy is going to lose his title. It’s probably not going to be tonight on AEW Rampage, though.
See, Cassidy is undefeated in singles matches this year, and has been absolutely heroic while defending his title against a seemingly nonstop wave of challengers. Not bad for someone whose gimmick is that he’s a slacker who really doesn’t want to wrestle.
But is his downfall coming tonight, against Johnny TV? That seems highly unlikely, but that’s why we watch.
Let’s see what this week’s Rampage has for us.
AEW Rampage results:
- Darby Allin def. Brian Cage by pinfall, but gets attacked by TNT Champion Luchasaurus after the match, with Christian Cage watching like a hawk backstage
- Renee Paquette talks to Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. about her matchup with The Bunny, who she says she respects but will have to go through her to get to the title match at All In
- Eddie Kingston gives an update on how he’s doing in the G1 Climax 33 in New Japan Pro-Wrestling, and also says he’ll defend his title from that company anywhere
- Orange Cassidy def. Johnny TV by pinfall to retain the AEW International Championship, with Wheeler Yuta as a very interested observer on commentary; after the match, Cassidy calls Yuta to the ring, but Wheeler says if Orange puts his title on the line next week in Nashville, he’ll walk out with it
- A video package goes through the history of the ROH World Tag Team Championship
- Aussie Open def. The Outrunners by pinfall; afterward they address the challenge made to them by “Maxwell and Little Adam,” and accept that match on the All In Zero Hour pre-show
- Jeff Jarrett tells us about the Texas Chainsaw Massacre Deathmatch, which … wait, what? (it’s apparently a promotion with a video game)
- Saraya def. Skye Blue by pinfall with some help from the other Outcasts, of course, who also beat down Skye some more to end the show
