Really good to see Aaron Solo get some TV time. Its been a while since we have seen him. This was probably the closest to a squash without being a squash we could get.
Post-match, Reilly calls out Okada for a match at Battle of the Belts .

Trish with a lockup and headlock takedown while rubbing her behind on Anna’s back. Anna is able to break as both women come back to a vertical base. Anna hits a snapmare.

It is another kick out as Trish misses a strike as Anna hits the widows peak for the victory
Here is your Winner: Anna Jay
A predictable outcome with Anna Jay facing Mariah May soon. Obviously she loses that and her push gets halted.

Arm drag by Kassidy as he and Quen go for some double-team action on both men. Quen is sent crashing to the floor by Mansoor before he is tossed back into the ring.

Decent main event. Private Party really making the most of this push and MXM really are growing on everybody. Good stuff.
Not a bad Rampage this week with no real squash matches which makes a change. We still don’t know how long we will have Rampage for so lets make the most of it whilst we have it. thanks for joining guys. See you tomorrow for Collision.
