AEW RAMPAGE REVIEW 13/09

Welcome guys to this weeks episode of AEW Rampage. 5 matches so lets kick things off with some trios action.

MATCH 1: THE CONGLOMERATION (ORANGE CASSIDY, MARK BRISCOE, & KYLE O’REILLY) VS. THE DARK ORDER (ALEX REYNOLDS, JOHN SILVER, EVIL UNO)

Brisoce and Silver kick this off for their respective teams, few back and fourths with neither man getting the upper hand until Mark Briscoe tags Reilly, and Reynolds is tagged as well. Reilly grounds him with a series of kicks. Cassidy is tagged to join Reilly in kicking combos to Reynolds’ chest.

Silver pulls Cassidy from between the ropes as Evil Uno comes in. Uno hits a high boot and DDT on Cassidy. Dark Order gangs up on Cassidy as Reynolds tries for a cover, and it’s a kick-out. Reilly hits Uno with a running knee strike. Briscoe dives through the ropes to take out Reynolds. Briscoe does a flip over the top rope to crash into Reynolds and Silver! Cassidy hits an Orange punch on Reynolds inside the ring followed by Briscoe hitting  the J-driller and this one is all over.

Here is your winner: The Conglomeration

Not a bad opener. Just so sad to see what has happened to the Dark Order. Completely wasted now.

MATCH 2: ROBYN RENEGADE VS KAMILLE

A few kicks to the midsection, hair whip toss, big boot, bear hug, and an overhead throw to Renegade. Robyn tries rolling to the outside as Kamille chases her and locks her in another bear hug. Kamille rams her into a steel post before tossing her in the ring.

Action heads to the corner as Robyn hits a crossbody on Kamille for a near fall. Robyn tries climbing on Kamille’s back, but Kamille reverses and hits a running power slam, followed by the truth finisher for the win.

Here is your Winner: Kamille

I am a huge fan of Kamille. Watched most of her NWA title run and absolutely loved her. Give it time and she will be a big player for AEW.

MATCH 3: RODERICK STRONG VS BEEF

Beef is taking it to Strong straight from the get go and  is landing big right hands on the jaw of Strong. A double underhooked suplex follows. Lariats in the corner, followed by a running bulldog for a Roderick Strong kick out! A big, heavy-handed shot follows as Beef is kicked in the face from the ropes. Strong hits a superplex for a kickout! Strong is splashed between the ropes as Beef hits the sloppy steaks! Beef heads outside the ring to help his tag partner, who has been jumped by Bennett and Taven. Beef heads back inside the ring where he gets a running knee to the face and that’s all. 1 2 3 and this one is all over.

Here is your Winner: Roderick Strong

Beef looked pretty impressive here but Roddy was always taking the W in this one. Solid match.

MATCH 4: SARAYA & HARLEY CAMERON VS. MARTI BELLE & ALLYSIN KAY

Saraya and Cameron work over Belle for the first several minutes until she makes the hot tag to Kay. Kay with some brief offense in but Cameron hits a shining wizard and went for the pin but Saraya had blind tagged herself in. Saraya hit her Night Cap finisher for the win.

Here is your Winner: Saraya and Harley Cameron

So the seeds have begun to be planted for the break up of Saraya and Cameron, and I say that like anyone actually cares. We don’t.

Post-match, Jamie Hayter power walks her way to the ring as Saraya quickly runs out the ring. Hayter knocks out Harley and celebrates in the ring.

MATCH 5: KONOSUKE TAKESHITA VS. ACTION ANDRETTI

Takeshita is dominating this main event so far. Takeshita hits a hard chop and places Andretti on the top rope. Takeshita hits a suplex for a near fall as we head into our final commercial break. We are back as Andretti intercepts a knee strike and a high boot. There are a series of reversals as Andretti hits a springboard elbow.

Takeshita rolls out of the ring as Andretti rolls through the ropes and hits a senton. Andretti follows out by jumping over the top rope to crash into Takeshita. Back inside the ring, Takeshita picks up a quick near fall. It’s a nice series of reversals as Takeshita absorbs a dropkick and hits a blue thunder bomb for a kickout! Takeshita with a back elbow as Andretti hits a huricarana! Andretti takes an elbow from the top rope to the face, followed by a knee strike! Takeshita hits the raging fire for the victory!

Here is your Winner: Takeshita

The result was never in doubt. Takeshita has to take the title from Okada. If he doesn’t get a title soon then they are completely wasting this talent. He is one of the best in AEW right now.

Not a bad hour of Rampage this week. See you tomorrow for Collision.
