AEW Rampage results 01/26/24: Komander commands the ring

See how Komander earned a title shot against Orange Cassidy this week on AEW Rampage.

AEW returned on Friday night after a heavily storyline-driven episode of Dynamite. The quest for the next contender to Samoa Joe’s AEW World Championship progressed, including Adam Copeland’s latest “Cope Open” against Minoru Suzuki and a subsequent callout to Christian Cage.

Meanwhile, Rampage featured its own developments, such as the “Freshly Squeezed 4-Way” match for the No. 1 contender to Orange Cassidy’s AEW International Championship and the ongoing story involving Ruby Soho, Saraya and Harley Cameron. Multiple angles unfolded in Savannah, Georgia, creating another chaotic hour of AEW programming:

AEW Rampage results:

  • Jon Moxley def. Lee Moriarty by submission, drawing “this is awesome” chants in a lengthy match showcasing Moriarty’s in-ring prowess; Shane Taylor thwarts Moxley’s show of respect after the match as he and Moriarty beat down the Blackpool Combat Club member
  • As Anna Jay gets interviewed backstage, Angelo Parker tells her that he believes he knows who is responsible for everything and questions if Anna was behind Harley Cameron’s kiss; Anna slaps Parker and says she is tired of having everyone’s back when no one supports her in return
  • Konosuke Takeshita def. Christopher Daniels by pinfall within minutes; Don Callis says after the match his family is taking everything from Chris Jericho and challenges the Fozzy singer to face Takeshita in two weeks on Dynamite; however, Kyle Fletcher intervenes, claiming his right to a shot; Callis agrees and says Fletcher will face Jericho next week, while Jericho battles Takeshita the following week
  • Backstage, Renee Paquette announces Top Flight vs. Private Party for next week; Action Andretti says he’ll be in Top Flight’s corner next week to make sure nothing crazy happens
  • Anna Jay def. Ruby Soho by submission
  • In a backstage interview, Eddie Kingston tells Renee Paquette he has no respect for Bryan Danielson; Kingston then challenges Willie Mack to a non-title match on Collision, but if Mack wins, he earns a chance at the AEW Continental Championship
  • Komander def. The Butcher, El Hijo del Vikingo and Kip Sabian to become the No. 1 contender to Orange Cassidy’s AEW Intercontinental Championship

AEW Rampage results 01/05/24: Wheeler Yuta keeps it Pure

More developments in the ongoing Kris Statlander-Stokely Hathaway saga also unfolded on AEW Rampage.

While some people question the need for ROH when it is a sub-brand of AEW these days, here’s an even more pertinent question for tonight’s episode of AEW Rampage: Does there need to be a ROH Pure Championship?

We say yes. There’s something cool about a title having its own specific set of rules in a day and age when there are so many championships overall with very little to distinguish between them in many cases.

It’s even good when a heel has it, like Wheeler Yuta does right now, because we get to see how rulebreakers operate within the confine of, well, rules.

Just something to think about while we dive into this AEW Rampage.

AEW Rampage results:

  • Mark Briscoe and The Hardys def. The Butcher, The Blade and Kip Sabian by pinfall
  • Renee Paquette asks Sammy Guevara about his singles match against Ricky Starks, who he praises as a great talent but says he isn’t better than the best, while Chris Jericho promises to make Uncle Joe cry if Big Bill interferes
  • Paquette speaks with Anna Jay ahead of her match against Hikaru Shida, and Anna says it’s time for this to be her year and that she needs to do this for herself; Harley Cameron stops by to say he wants to help everyone there, including Daddy Magic, Cool Hand Ang and Jake Hager, and she seems to say something suggestive to Coll Hand Ang
  • Stokely Hathaway does the ring intros for the next match, not sus at all, especially since she praises Kris Statlander and disses Willow Nightingale
  • Kris Statlander and Willow Nightingale def. Kennedi Hardcastle and Notorious Mimi
  • Private Party walks in on The Hardys’ convo with Paquette, which turns into something of a sarcastic show of respect
  • Hikaru Shida def. Anna Jay by pinfall
  • Sonjay Dutt gives a pep talk to Jay Lethal and Jeff Jarrett, but there’s a bit of dissension in the room (also Karen Jarrett hilariously points out that she’s been there for a while and the team has no name); Dutt and Karen end up having to play peacemaker when tempers flare
  • A Christian Cage highlight video (if you can call it that) is aired
  • Wheeler Yuta def. Komander by pinfall to retain the ROH Pure Championship

AEW Collision results 12/2/23: Bryan Danielson leaves Eddie Kingston down bad

Some intriguing matches also got set up for Dynamite and Final Battle on AEW Collision this week.

Saturday night’s alright for fighting, and tonight, it’s more than alright for fighting in a tournament. The Blue League of the Continental Classic takes center stage tonight on AEW Collision from Erie, Penn.

Most notably, Bryan Danielson makes his debut in the Classic as he’s only recently been cleared to compete. He’s back now, and he can compound the misery of one Eddie Kingston by beating the Mad King tonight.

Maybe Eddie is having some remorse over putting both of his championships up for grabs in this tourney, eh?

Get ready, Erie. Here we go.

AEW Collision results from Erie:

  • Brody King def. Claudio Castagnoli by pinfall in a Continental Classic Blue League match, going to six points after his first two matches

  • Willow Nightingale and Mercedes Martinez exchange words in recorded promos
  • Buddy Matthews and Malakai Black def. Christopher Daniels and Matt Sydal by pinfall; afterward, FTR hits the ring and violently declines Black’s invitation to join the House of Black, though it ends badly for the top guys and Black mocks them for having no one to come to their aid
  • Earlier this week, Toni Storm is upset Renee Paquette is interviewing her instead of RJ City, and Storm warns Skye Blue before throwing Renee’s own shoe at her

AEW Collision results 11/4/23: FTR still figuring out friend from foe

AEW Collision did a nice job of loading up the next episode of AEW Dynamite.

What do you do when you have a bunch of tag teams whose subplots all kind of overlap? Throw them into one big eight-man tag main event, which is what’s happening tonight on AEW Collision from Wichita.

FTR is still hot for another shot at Big Bill and Ricky Starks, the duo who beat them for the AEW World Tag Team Championship. Gates of Agony has been making trouble for FTR and other face teams too … an umbrella that now apparently includes La Faccion Ingobernable.

So yes, all four teams are going to be involved in the last match tonight. Will that settle anything? Probably not. But that’s just how you gotta roll sometimes in wrestling.

There’s some other interesting stuff on the card, beginning with the first match that’s wasting exactly zero time to get started.

AEW Collision results from Wichita:

  • AR Fox isn’t waiting for the Elton John song to start the show, attacking Swerve Strickland in what passes for a cold open to Collision
  • Swerve Strickland def. AR Fox by pinfall, after which …
  • … FTR comes out to brawl with Gates of Agony, and are soon joined by Big Bill and Ricky Starks, as well as La Faccion Ingobernable, and the faces end up clearing the ring as House of Black watches from somewhere in the seats
  • MJF responds to Daniel Garcia calling him out on Rampage, and he seems OK with it since Garcia is a young guy, but wants to know if he’s getting the professional wrestler or the sports entertainer
  • More from MJF, who sarcastically congratulates Jay White for pinning him and calls Switchblade a nobody; needless to say, Bullet Club Gold sees that pin somewhat differently, and White says his group has earned the night off but will be back on Wednesday
  • Kip Sabian is pissed off (his words) at Mark Briscoe, and challenges him to find two partners to face him and The Workhorsemen
  • Roderick Strong complains that no one is taking neck health seriously enough, but The Kingdom is going to prove it’s important tonight
  • The Kingdom def. Brixton Nash and Jameson McGregor by pinfall
  • Briscoe gets an offer from FTR to do double duty and team with him, but Mark says while he appreciates it, he has a couple other guys in mind and will holler at them after the show
  • Darby Allin def. Lance Archer by pinfall, but Jake Roberts says he has more guys to go after him: The Righteous, who distract Darby long enough for Lance to him him with the Blackout
  • Kris Statlander thanks Skye Blue for doing the right thing, and even though Skye says she only did it for Willow Nightingale, Willow tries to convince Kris that all of them are friends

  • Alex Abrahantes is interrupted by Strickland, but Abrahantes takes exception to Swerve’s home invasion of Hangman Adam Page and says Penta will beat some respect into him next week

  • The Acclaimed and Daddy Ass are ready to celebrate 69 days as trios champs, complete with balloons, streamers and the whole nine yards; Anthony Bowens has a special gift for Max Caster, which turns out to be a video message from MJF saying Caster has earned his respect and he’s starting to like The Acclaimed, but just when the segment looks like it’s going to end …

  • … Dalton Castle and The Boys take the 69 trophy that The Acclaimed had over at the announce table and smash it; that sets off a brawl between the two teams and ends up in a match
  • The Acclaimed and Daddy Ass def. Dalton Castle and The Boys to retain the AEW World Trios Championship
  • Andrade El Idolo says he’ll give his answer to C.J. Perry next week, face to face

  • Willow Nightingale def. Emi Sakura by pinfall
  • Samoa Joe says he hasn’t heard back from MJF on his offer to watch his back and says the champ will keep enduring the pain he has been; also Lee stops by to challenge him for his ROH World Television Championship on Dynamite
  • La Faccion Ingobernable (Rush and Preston Vance) and FTR def. Big Bill, Ricky Starks and Gates of Agony by pinfall when Rush pins Kaun, but LFI walks away from FTR without shaking hands afterward
  • House of Black has a message for FTR on the big screen, but they appear in the ring to deliver it hands on until Blackpool Combat Club’s Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta arrive with a steel chair to drive them off

AEW Rampage results 10/27/23: Santana-Ortiz grudge match, Don Callis Family grows

AEW Rampage also found a title challenger for Hikaru Shida, and it’s a bit of a pleasant surprise.

Former tag team partner turned enemies is a pretty common trope in pro wrestling. Still, there’s something about the enmity between Mike Santana and Ortiz that hits a little bit different.

From the very beginning of AEW, Santana and Ortiz weren’t just a tag team, they were essentially brothers. They went through a ton both on their own and as part of several factions.

But as they say, that was then and this is now. Santana and Ortiz absolutely seem to detest each other, and they’re going to have to settle things in the ring. As one does.

Let’s get into some Rampage, shall we?

AEW Rampage results:

  • Mike Santana def. Ortiz by pinfall in a No Holds Barred grudge match; after the bell, Santana offers a fist bump but finds Ortiz wants no part of it, and the same appears to be true of Ortiz reacting to Sonjay Dutt
  • A video package promotes MJF vs. Kenny Omega on this week’s episode of Collision, and we hear from both men and a number of others — including Jay White, who wishes Omega good luck, perhaps sarcastically, and Don Callis, who makes a futile effort to recruit MJF
  • Kris Statlander tries to find out what’s been going on with Skye Blue and Willow Nightingale, and the real issue is that Skye hasn’t been the same since getting hit with the black mist
  • Kip Sabian disses Philly sports teams until a returning Mark Briscoe decides he’s heard enough and clears him out of the ring
  • Renee Paquette talks to the former Jericho Appreciation Society members, and Anna Jay asks them all to back her up, but bickering breaks out when Callis appears to make a business proposition to Matt Menard and Angelo Parker, who also gets a visit from Ruby Soho
  • Abadon def. Anna Jay, Skye Blue and Willow Nightingale by pinning Anna Jay to earn a title shot against Hikaru Shida on Collision
  • “Dammit Max!” The Acclaimed and Daddy Ass wants to invite everyone to National 69 Day in eight days, but Max Caster takes it too far, as always, to invite MJF
  • A short clip is shown of a faux press conference between Orange Cassidy and Claudio Castagnoli
  • Konosuke Takeshita def. Kyle Fletcher by pinfall, and Fletcher’s attempt to seek revenge on The Don Callis Family with a steel chair afterward actually .. impresses Callis

AEW Rampage results 09/01/23: Dark Order punches their ticket for All Out

See how Dark Order won a spot at All Out, plus a fiery women’s division main event on AEW Rampage from Chicago.

Facing the unenviable task of booking pay-per-view cards on consecutive weeks, AEW is certainly making the best of it. Even with some, ahem, complications affecting the availability of its biggest Chicago-born star, things are plowing ahead toward All Out, and AEW Rampage still has something to say on that front.

If nothing else, Rampage will find challengers to everyone’s favorite brochados, MJF and Adam Page. Let’s not waste any time, either, since the match to determine them is up first.

AEW Rampage results:

  • Dark Order (Alex Reynolds and John Silver) win the Tag Team Battle Royale to determine the No. 1 contenders for the ROH World Tag Team Championship, earning a title match against Adam Cole and MJF at All Out
  • Aussie Open, who did not win the battle royale, have words with Chris Jericho at the announce table that elevates to fists; Sammy Guevara arrives with Jericho’s baseball bat (Floyd) to run them off
  • Mike Santana takes us back to the beginning of his time here at AEW, when his dad passed away, then flashes forward to his injury at Blood and Guts 2022 before finishing by saying he has more story to tell
  • Nick Wayne and El Hijo del Vikingo def. Kip Sabian and Gringo Loco by pinfall
  • Johnny TV is in charge of QTV while QT Marshall is away defending his AAA title, and he promised big changes
  • Hangman Adam Page def. “The Bounty Hunter” Bryan Keith by pinfall
  • Renee Paquette talks to Daniel Garcia, Angelo Parker and Matt Menard ahead of their Trios Championship opportunity, and they’re looking forward to getting back to basics since they weren’t part of All In
  • Paquette has a contentious interview with Roderick Strong, who ends things early and leaves with The Kingdom
  • Skye Blue and Willow Nightingale def. Anna Jay and Taya Valkyrie by pinfall, but Valkyrie attacks Blue after the bell, forcing Nightingale to come to her partner’s rescue while Taya tells the crowd that Chicago sucks

AEW Dynamite results: Omega-Vikingo delivers the goods, but Don Callis prevents a Hangman reunion

Live AEW Dynamite results for March 22, 2023, featuring a dream match between Kenny Omega and El Hijo del Vikingo.

AEW isn’t promoting this week’s Dynamite from Independence, Missouri this way, but if it wanted to, it could make an excellent claim that it has the past, present and future of pro wrestling all on one card.

The past? That’d be Sting, still going strong in the Year of Our Lord two thousand twenty-three, taking part in a six-man tag alongside Orange Cassidy and Darby Allin against The Butcher, The Blade and Kip Sabian.

The present? Take your pick. But start with Jon Moxley vs. Stu Grayson as the Blackpool Combat Club and Dark Order continue their ongoing rivalry. Plus The Outcasts are trying to stake their claim to control of the women’s division, with Toni Storm taking on Skye Blue. If that weren’t enough, Kenny Omega is going to be in a rare singles match on Dynamite.

That’s where the future comes in. As you may have heard, Omega is stepping in against El Hijo del Vikingo, the 25-year-old sensation who is revolutionizing lucha libre (which is really saying something). It’s a pairing that almost happened in late 2021, but fans will now get to see on free TV. It’s almost certain to be spectacular.

The Gunns vs. Top Flight would fall into that future category as well. It’s brothers against brothers for the tag team titles, and both teams are likely to be a factor in AEW or anywhere they go for years to come.

AEW Dynamite results in 60 seconds:

  • We start with an ambulance … or two, as someone has attacked the Young Bucks, and Hangman Adam Page rides with one of them to the hospital
  • Orange Cassidy, Darby Allin and Sting def. Kip Sabian, The Butcher and The Blade by pinfall
  • A replay of MJF’s encounter with the other pillars of AEW is played with some new commentary from all involved
  • The Gunns def. Top Flight by pinfall to retain the AEW World Tag Team Championship …
  • … and accept a challenge from FTR — but if FTR loses, they must quit AEW
  • Jade Cargill and Mark Sterling have a cease and desist order for Taya Valkyrie to stop using her finisher, and Leila Grey plans on delivering it Friday on Rampage
  • Hook def. Stokely Hathaway by submission in a No Disqualification match
  • Adam Cole wants to talk about who his first opponent back will be, and Daniel Garcia talks his way into that honor … though it may be a dubious one
  • Don Callis tries to calm Kenny Omega after he saw his best friends get attacked and frames his match tonight as the return of the God of Pro Wrestling
  • Jon Moxley def. Stu Grayson by pinfall
  • Renee Paquette asks Ricky Starks what’s going on with Juice Robinson, and Absolute tells Juice to meet him on Rampage
  • The QTV crew mocks Rey Fenix and says Powerhouse Hobbs will defend his title again on Saturday; his challenger is then confirmed to be Penta
  • Toni Storm def. Sky Blue by pinfall
  • The BCC finds Grayson backstage without his Dark Order teammates and attacks him
  • Kenny Omega def. El Hijo del Vikingo by pinfall, but …
  • … the BCC attacks Omega afterward, Page comes to the rescue, and Don Callis makes it look like Hangman attacked him

AEW Dynamite results: Ruby wins but has had it with women’s division turmoil

Live AEW Dynamite results for Feb. 15, 2023 from Laredo, TX, including a three-way battle between Toni Storm, Britt Baker and Ruby Soho.

It’s time for the first part of a little Texas two-step for AEW. Tonight it’s Dynamite from Laredo, and the path to Revolution should start getting a bit more clearly illuminated.

But the highlight of tonight’s show should be the in-ring action, which will be plentiful and varied. The headline bout is a Texas Tornado tag team match (never more appropriate than when it’s, you know, really in Texas) that features Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli going up against Rush and Preston Vance.

Want an even bigger tag team match? We’ve got that too. Orange Cassidy, The Acclaimed and Daddy Ass are on one side of it, with Jeff Jarrett, Jay Lethal, Satnam Singh and Sonjay Dutt on the other.

The women’s division has been full of intrigue, and Ruby Soho has been in the middle of most of it. She’ll experience that in the most direct way possible in Laredo, as she’s slated to be in a three-way dance that also involves Toni Storm and Britt Baker. Is this the night where Soho will have to pick a side?

There’s much more, as well. Even AEW World Champion MJF will appear, even though he’s made it clear he’d rather not. Will be run scared again from his Revolution opponent, Bryan Danielson, or has he finally found his courage ahead of the pay-per-view?

AEW Dynamite results in 60 seconds:

  • Stokely Hathaway says Hook broke his arm, and he and The Firm laugh it up when Tony Schaivone says Hook has been suspended pending investigation
