It’s another live version of AEW Rampage, the best possible kind. And if you’re going to do a live show on a Friday night, you might want to bring a title match to the party.
So that’s exactly what the fans at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT are getting. Mr. Mayhem himself, Wardlow, is set to put his TNT Championship on the line, and hey, it’s even on TNT this time.
The challenger, Matt Taven, is fairly new to AEW, having only recently arrived with the rest of The Kingdom. But Wardlow isn’t likely to cut him any slack for that, as he’ll look to treat Taven to a front row seat to the Powerbomb Symphony.
AEW World Champion Jon Moxley is also in action against “Daddy Magic” Matt Menard, though that should be light work for Mox. But this is a legit card, so let’s see how it all plays out.
AEW Rampage results in 30 seconds:
- Jon Moxley def. Matt Menard by submission
- Stokely Hathaway says he has a tougher test from The Firm for Moxley, challenging him to take on Lee Moriarty next week on Dynamite

- Keith Lee squashes Serpentico by pinfall in about 10 seconds, then has to answer some questions from The Acclaimed about the whereabouts of Billy Gunn … who has been kidnapped by Swerve Strickland and tortured with pliers
- Tay Melo def. Madison Rayne by pinfall
- Ethan Page says MJF decided by himself to change plans and try to do everything by himself, but Page reminds him that Max didn’t become the No. 1 contender by himself, so they changed plans and did a favor for Jon Moxley … and Page plans to win the AEW World Championship eliminator tournament
- Wardlow def. Matt Taven by pinfall to retain the AEW TNT Championship
- The Kingdom attacks Wardlow after the bell, but Samoa Joe comes to the rescue … only to be attacked in turn by Powerhouse Hobbs and The Embassy
