One thing about AEW Rampage is that it keeps things moving.
Wrestling Junkie was on hand for AEW Dynamite and Rampage in Philadelphia on Wednesday and saw it for ourselves. Yes, it still definitely feels like a ‘B’ show, but it’s tight because its only an hour, so there’s no real down time. It’s match to segment to match at a brisk pace.
The Philadelphia crowd stayed pretty live too, even though it was hanging in through more than three hours of wrestling by the end of the night. But Philly always represents, legitimately one of the best wrestling markets anywhere.
In any case, even though we’ve known for two days what would happen tonight, it’s going to be fun to watch it back and check everything out. Let’s do it up.
AEW Rampage results in 30 seconds:
- The Acclaimed def. Private Party and The Butcher and The Blade to retain the AEW World Tag Team Championship
- The Gunn Club doubles down on their taunts to FTR form last week
- Jade Cargill complains about her lack of competition, but maybe she’s getting some in the form of Nyla Rose
- Lee Moriarty def. Fuego Del Sol by submission, and W. Morrissey roughs up Fuego some after the bell
- Hangman Adam Page says he’s looking forward to his world title shot, and Andrade El Idolo comes by to try to recruit 10 again … and challenge him for his mask; Ethan Page also stops by to suggest Matt Hardy is contract tampering with Private Party
- Jamie Hayter def. Willow Nightingale by pinfall
- Maybe Wardlow and Samoa Joe are going to stay a tag team?
- Hook comes out to shut up Ryan Nemeth by beating him down and choking him out, and the Trustbusters leave a contract for Hook that he ignores
- Rush def. John Silver by pinfall, Dark Order tries to stop a La Faccion Ingobernable beatdown, but it’s Hangman who finally clears the ring, throwing down with Rush and teasing a match for the future (meaning next Wednesday at Dynamite) … and then giving Jose The Assistant the Buckshot
