AEW Rampage results: Young Bucks get a W but House of Black is hunting them

Get quick AEW Rampage results for February 24, 2023, with the Young Bucks taking on Aussie Open.

You know what would be a cool way for a wrestling fan to end a Friday night (or kick one off, if you’re young enough for such things)? The Young Bucks vs. Aussie Open on free TV. Lo and behold, that’s what we’ve got on this episode of AEW Rampage.

That’s the good stuff, baby. Also good stuff is Action Andretti, everyone’s favorite out of nowhere story, back in … ahem, action. He’s taking on Sammy Guevara in what should be a real test of his in-ring chops.

Plus there’s the not so small detail of Revolution being less than 10 days away. There’s room on the card for a few more matches, so we’ll see if this episode confirms some.

Sounds like a pleasant hour to us. Let’s see how it shakes out.

  • Who’s left for Jade Cargill? Whoever is needs to come and see her

AEW Full Gear preview: When and where it’s going down, what to expect

Get set for AEW Full Gear with our complete preview, including the start time, full card and predictions for every match

Because AEW only has four pay-per-views a year, there’s always a chance that things will change up a bit around the promotion between each one. But to say that some stuff has gone down since All Out in early September would be a wild understatement.

CM Punk, who won the AEW World Championship that night, is gone, perhaps forever. None of the company’s founding EVPs have been around either, following the most surreal post-event press conference in pro wrestling history.

There have been other absences too, including that of the House of Black (though they appear to be on their way back soon). And there have been notable arrivals, none bigger than that of Saraya, formerly Paige during her WWE days.

Some indicators of lagging interest in AEW, including TV ratings and live event attendance, could be related to all the upheaval. Hitting a home run with Full Gear would certainly help, and fortunately, there’s a much anticipated main event to bat cleanup. Jon Moxley has been the heart and soul of the company just as his promos declare, and MJF is quite simply one of the best all-around young talents in the business (as he’s also fond of pointing out).

Their showdown anchors another very full PPV card that includes four other title matches, a tournament final that will determine either Moxley or MJF’s first challenger, Saraya’s in-ring debut, and a classic grudge match inside a steel cage. Given Tony Khan’s penchant for adding matches during event week, there could still be more in store as well.

Whether it’s a true reset and turning of the page or simply a fun night of pro wrestling, Full Gear definitely has the potential to deliver.

AEW Full Gear 2022

  • When: Saturday, November 19
  • Where: Prudential Center, Newark, NJ
  • Start time: 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT
  • How to watch: Via Bleacher Report, on-demand through cable and satellite TV providers, and in select movie theaters in the U.S.; via PPV.com in Canada and FITE internationally

Bow Wow took his shot at Jade Cargill, got savagely rejected, but it ended up all love

You have to admit Bow Wow aimed as high as possible.

From the “Can’t Blame a Guy for Trying” file comes rapper Bow Wow shooting his shot at AEW star Jade Cargill on social media.

It started Halloween night when Bow Wow, who had been going back and forth with Swerve Strickland on Twitter and teasing a jump to wrestling, fantasized about how he’d like to celebrate his first victory as a pro wrestler.

Cargill’s QT reply was perfectly in character for anyone who’s seen her work in AEW.

That turned into a discussion about whether Cargill was serious (she did say at least part of the exchange was in jest), and who made more money.

And Cargill eventually admitted she was a fan of Bow Wow’s music in her younger days.

So this story has a bit of a happy ending after all, with Bow Wow able to bow out (no pun intended) somewhat gracefully.

Bow Wow’s “locked down” comment refers to Cargill being in a committed relationship with the father of her daughter Bailey Quinn, former MLB baseball player Brandon Phillips.

The 35-year-old Bow Wow has had quite the career, releasing his first album as Lil’ Bow Wow when he was just 13 after being discovered by Snoop Dogg. As his music career petered out in the late 2000s, he made a successful transition to acting, appearing in a number of TV series and movies.

After Bow Wow announced on social media in early 2021 that he dreamed of eventually making it to WWE, Rikishi spoke about potentially training him for pro wrestling. It’s not clear if that ever happened or if he’s close to being able to actually perform in a wrestling ring, but he has had Twitter exchanges with various wrestlers ever since.

All of which is to say that while Bow Wow vs. Swerve is a maybe, Bow Wow going out with Cargill afterward sounds like definitely not. He gets an ‘A’ for effort, though, for sure.

Opening Bell: Crown Jewel approaches, All-Atlantic 3-way on Dynamite

Get set for the week in WWE and AEW with Opening Bell: quick previews of Raw, SmackDown, Dynamite and Rampage.

Welcome to the Opening Bell, where we round up what’s been announced for WWE (Raw and SmackDown) and AEW (Dynamite and Rampage) programming for the week we’ve just begun.

WWE Raw preview – Monday, October 31, American Airlines Center, Dallas

Happy Halloween, everyone! As WWE prepares to head overseas for Crown Jewel (and some of its talent is already in Europe for house shows in the meantime), there’s still some business to attend to first. Fans in Dallas should prepare to acknowledge the Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns, as he will be on hand. While he’s tried to get the Bloodline on the same page in recent weeks, there are still some cracks in the group’s foundation? Can he get them repaired before he faces Logan Paul?

Brock Lesnar is also being advertised for this week’s show. The Beast Incarnate has a big showdown with Bobby Lashley awaiting him in Saudi Arabia, and while the two men have already traded blows, Lesnar may have a a chance to get in the final word before Saturday.

Here’s what else WWE has in store for Halloween night on Raw:

AEW Dynamite preview – Wednesday, November 2, Chesapeake Employers Insurance Arena, Baltimore

Dynamite returns to Baltimore this week with not one, not two, but three title matches. Orange Cassidy finally won his first AEW singles gold by claiming the All-Atlantic Championship, but he’ll have to work hard to keep it (which isn’t really his style) in a three-way dance with two very different opponents, Luchasaurus and Rey Fenix.

Chris Jericho has vowed to take out anything to do with ROH, including past champions, so he’ll put the ROH World Championship on the line against a mystery former champ. And Jade Cargill will try to fend off a familiar challenger for her TBS Championship in the form of Marina Shafir.

Plus AEW has promoted more for this week’s Dynamite, including:

WWE SmackDown preview – Friday, November 4, Enterprise Center, St. Louis (recorded on October 28)

Yep, this episode of SmackDown was pre-taped last week because talent and crew members need to be in Saudi Arabia for Crown Jewel on Saturday. That means that spoilers for exactly what happens on this show are already out there on the internet.

If you’d rather be surprised by outcomes but still want to know what to expect on SmackDown, keep reading:

[listicle id=15371]

AEW Rampage preview – Friday, November 4, Boardwalk Hall, Atlantic City

In a bit of role reversal, it’ll be a live episode of Rampage following a pre-taped SmackDown instead of the other way around. The most notable name on the show might not even be one of the wrestlers, as boxing legend Mike Tyson (who has worked with AEW before) is set to join the announce team.

In terms of matches, all we know for sure is that whoever emerges from the three-way dance on Dynamite with the All-Atlantic Championship can pick a dream opponent for Friday night. If that’s Cassidy, it will be a busy week for Freshly Squeezed, which might not be something he’d prefer. We’ll find out Wednesday night.

AEW Rampage results: The Kingdom comes to Canada

Get quick AEW Rampage results for its Canada debut on October 14, 2022 from Toronto.

O Canada! You’ve got AEW Rampage in your area for the first time. Good for you.

Unlike most weeks, this one wasn’t taped after AEW Dynamite on Wednesday, but instead was recorded as its own show on Thursday from the same venue (Coca-Cola Coliseum) that hosted Dynamite. Different, but yet not so different at the same time, as spoilers were out there.

But you didn’t read ’em? Cool, then we got you covered here with a quick recap of what went down.

  • Swerve Strickland and Keith Lee air out some of their differences in front of Renee Paquette, with Lee saying his partner is “swerving into the wrong lane”
  • Dark Order’s interview is crashed by Jose The Assistant, so 10 sends him to tell Rush he wants a match next week, and Stu Grayson is back
  • The Jericho Appreciation Society comes out to gloat, and Daniel Garcia says he is a sports entertainer, but Dalton Castle says he’s willing to break Chris Jericho’s back to give fans a ROH World Champion they deserve
  • Nyla Rose def. Anna Jay by pinfall, then fights off an attack by Jade Cargill and the Baddies
  • Ariya Daivari says he wasn’t trying to recruit Hook, he was trying to buy the FTW Championship, but now he’ll take it from Hook instead

  • Mike Bennett and Matt Taven are introduced by Maria Kanellis-Bennett as The Kingdom and have designs on the IWGP tag team titles, but when they tam with The Embassy to attack FTR and Spears, it brings Wardlow and Samaoa Joe to the ring to drive them off

AEW Rampage results: Rush might have a Hangman problem

Get quick AEW Rampage results for the September 30, 2022 episode from Philadelphia.

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

  • 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

AEW Rampage quick results: Claudio Castagnoli gets a tough test from Dax Harwood

Get quick AEW Rampage results for the September 9, 2022 episode from Buffalo.

Well this has been quite the week in AEW. A week unlike any other, one might even say. Happily, AEW Dynamite provided a nice reset of sorts, and since tonight’s AEW Rampage was filmed right after that, it should keep the good vibes going.

A high quality main event will certainly help with that, and this show has that covered in the form of a ROH World Championship Match with Claudio Castagnoli defending against Dax Harwood. There’s also a Grand Slam Tournament of Champions match in store, with young lions (not the NJPW kind, mind you) Darby Allin and Sammy Guevara doing battle.

And hey, that bout is up first, so we’re going to be off and running. Let’s get to it.

AEW Rampage results:

  • Sammy Guevara def. Darby Allin by pinfall to advance in the AEW Grand Slam Tournament of Champions, and will face Jon Moxley next week on Dynamite
  • Samoa Joe is glad to be back in AEW, and when Josh Woods steps up looking for an opportunity, Joe wants to grant it right away, but Smart Mark Sterling says it’ll happen next week in Albany
  • Serena Deeb def. Madison Rayne by submission
  • Jade Cargill says Athena was just another day in the neighborhood, and she’s looking forward to rolling on to 50-0 or beyond
  • Powerhouse Hobbs scoffs at the idea that his victory over Ricky Starks was a surprise, and he looks forward to showing everyone just who he is going forward
  • Claudio Castagnoli def. Dax Harwood by submission to retain the ROH World Championship

AEW All Out 2022 preview: Everything you need to know

Get set for Sunday with our AEW All Out 2022 preview, including predictions for what should and will probably happen in every match.

If bigger is better when it comes to pro wrestling pay-per-views, AEW All Out should be about as good as it gets.

AEW is throwing absolutely everything it has into the upcoming show at the Now Arena in Chicago (or more precisely, in the greater Chicago area), loading up the card in terms of both quantity and, hopefully, quality. Including the Zero Hour pre-show, a total of seven titles are on the line, as well as a future world championship shot in the Casino Ladder match.

Even when fate has thrown a late curveball or two, AEW has pivoted with regard to this show. Case in point: Thunder Rosa was slated to defend her AEW Women’s World Championship against Toni Storm, but got injured during the run-up to this weekend. No worries; now there’s a four-way battle for the interim championship that may be even more intriguing, featuring Storm, Hikaru Shida, Britt Baker and Jamie Hayter.

Topping the card is a world championship rematch between Jon Moxley and CM Punk. The two men met less than two weeks ago and surprised the wrestling world when Moxley squashed Punk, leading some to wonder if he had returned from injury too quickly. But this week’s Dynamite proved that it was simply wrestling being wrestling, with Punk needing a pep talk from a friend to prove he was still on top of his game enough to compete at the highest level.

Tony Khan admitted that it wasn’t the normal way he’d build up a world title match but thought it worked for these circumstances (and was good for Dynamite’s ratings, to boot). That could be said for All Out writ large to a certain extent, but there’s no question there is more pressure on this pay-per-view than normal with AEW’s larger competitor suddenly resurgent and holding its own big show on the same September weekend.

In the end, even if the consensus ends up being that All Out isn’t outstanding, it won’t be for a lack of trying on AEW’s part.

AEW All Out 2022

  • When: Sunday, Sept. 4
  • Where: Now Arena, Hoffman Estates, Ill.
  • Start time: 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT (Zero Hour pre-show starts one hour earlier)
  • How to watch: Via Bleacher Report or traditional PPV providers in the U.S.,  along with select movie theaters; through FITE TV internationally
  • Matches announced: 14 (including three on the Zero Hour pre-show)

Scroll down for previews and predictions for all main card matches; we’ll add one for the trios tournament final and any additional matches that get made after Rampage on Friday night.

See everything that went down in Charleston with AEW Rampage results for the August 19, 2022 episode.

One good show deserves another, right Charleston?

AEW Rampage was taped on Wednesday night, as it often is, but is certainly worth watching with a pair of championship matches on the card. Not only that, but the AEW World Trios Championship tournament continues as well, with Orange Cassidy and Best Friends in action.

Let’s not waste any time and dive right into the details.
