Have things calmed down a bit in AEW land? We mean relatively speaking, of course.
After three pay-per-views in less than two months, plus the Grand Slam show at Arthur Ashe Stadium plus the high profile debut of Adam Copeland, maybe AEW can catch its breath just a bit.
That doesn’t mean tonight’s AEW Rampage doesn’t have some interesting stuff planned, mind you. There’s a very intriguing four-way match to find a contender for Eddie Kingston. We’ll also see two of our favorites, Kris Statlander and Hikaru Shida, join forces.
So let’s enjoy this hour of pro wrestling simply for what it is, shall we?
AEW Rampage results:

- A promo hypes the return of Danhausen “very soon”
- Blackpool Combat Club (Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta) def. Colt Stevens and Levi Shapiro
- Paquette gets a close-up look at the finger-pointing between the former members of the Jericho Appreciation Society, who actually have Angelo Parker become the voice of reason
