What’s better than one wrestling show at the Kia Forum? How about several of them over a two-night span? Consider AEW Rampage the meat in your pro wrestling Forum sandwich.
Considering it’s the very last chance for any number of wrestlers to get in their last words or deeds ahead of Full Gear, there’s a better than average chance something will happen during this hour. Not to say that nothing usually happens during Rampage, but … you know what we mean.
Toni Storm taking on Emi Sakura as a “tune-up match” is something that should definitely overdeliver. Let’s see what this show holds for us.
AEW Rampage results from Inglewood:
- Chris Jericho has joined the announcers to help call the action tonight
- Christian Cage def. Trent Beretta by pinfall
- A fired up Jericho has one last message for the Young Bucks, crediting them for being one of the best tag teams around but stating that they aren’t Kenny Omega and they damn sure aren’t Chris Jericho
- “Timeless” Toni Storm def. Emi Sakura by pinfall
- Renee Paquette is backstage with Jay Lethal (and company), who reveals to Eddie Kingston that they’ll be battling for Kingston’s ROH World Championship on Zero Hour; Eddie looks into Jay’s eyes and calls him a coward, leading to lots of yelling, then turns around and sees Ortiz standing there
- Roderick Strong def. Action Andretti by pinfall, though a Spanish Fly spot during the match looked like both men were lucky to emerge uninjured
- Switchblade Jay White says he knows MJF is the Devil as the masked man briefly appears on the monitor behind him and Paquette, but his boasting is interrupted by an enraged MJF, who is in turn attacked by Juice Robinson …
- … but White opens a door to find that MJF has destroyed Juice and throws a large TV at Switchblade; they battle all the way to the ring, where MJF fights off The Gunns and gets his title belt back … but only for a second as the numbers game turns against him; though White still has the belt, Samoa Joe helps fight off Bullet Club Gold, and MJF accepts his handshake
