Welcome to this weeks edition of AEW Rampage. We have four matches and we’re kicking things off with a tag team triple threat match.



MATCH 1: UNDISPUTED KINGDOM VS. SHANE TAYLOR PROMOTIONS VS. GATES OF AGONY

Taven and Moriarty locking it up briefly before Bennett is tagged. Bennett manages to pick up a near fall. In comes Bishop Khan who hits a back elbow on Taven. Khan follows up with a huge lariat as he tries for another cover. Taven powers out before he is jumped by both Gates of Agony members.



Toa is tagged now as Taven hits an enziguri and tags Bennett. Bennett hits a couple of dropkicks but does not see Shane Taylor blindly tags himself into the match. Taylor absorbs Tons of chops as the big man rocks Bennett with a clothesline. Taven and Bennett with some double team work on Moriarty. Great setup for a pin attempt when Taylor breaks it up. Taylor misses a strike at Khan as Khan hits him with the airway crash. Liona comes in and hits a short-arm clothesline on Moriarty. Gates of Agony are destroying Moriarty as Undisputed Kingdom take advantage as Bennett hits a blind tag. Bennett hits a spinning backfist on Khan as Liona is sent over the top rope. Bennett hits a frog splash and this one is all over.



Here is your winner : Undisputed Kingdom


Fun opener. I’m always going to support Undisputed Kingdom winning. Hopefully they get a good run now Cole is back.



MATCH 2: ANNA JAY VS LEILA GREY


lockup as both women try jockeying for position. Anna maintains a headlock as she is sent to the ropes. Anna hits a shoulder block, followed by a knee to the midsection. Leila sent to the corner as she turns it around with a flipping neckbreaker. Leila sends Anna face-first into the corners a few times.



Leila tries for a couple of covers as Anna kicks out! Anna reverses a snap suplex with one of her own. Both women now trading strikes as Anna is sent into the ropes and hits a flying forearm! Flying elbow strike follows as Anna hits a dropkick, followed by a gorybomb flatliner for the 3 count.


Here is your winner: Anna Jay


Anna Jay has all the momentum right now and is possibly looking the best ever. I just hope she doesn’t lose to Mariah and then is sent to the wilderness again.



MATCH 3: THE BEAST MORTOS VS BEEF

A push and shove followed by stalemate shoulder tackles. BEEF hits a nice dropkick before Mortos comes back with the uppercut. Mortos connects with a big time right hand! Mortos with a chop block to the knee followed by a knee strike to the body. Mortos misses a senton as BEEF hits a kick to the midsection. BEEF tries for a suplex but it is a stalemate as Mortos hits a headbutt.



BEEF hits a diving crossbody and follows that up with some big, right hands followed by a big wind-up punch! BEEF hits a clothesline and a running bulldog for a two-count! BEEF hits a couple of punches as Mortos denies him a third one as he hits a catch and release back drop! Mortos hits the top rope for a spinning cork screw for a new fall! BEEF hits an enziguri followed by trying to hit the ropes as RUSH pushes him off. Mortos is able to capitalize as JD Drake and the referee were caught up in all the chaos. Seems no one saw what RUSH did as Mortos picks up the win.


Here is your winner: Mortos


Probably the best match we have seen from BEEF even if I think his name is slightly stupid. But who doesn’t enjoy big men wrestling.



MATCH 4: RICOCHET VS NICK WAYNE

lockup to begin this one as they are tied up around almost all four corners. Wayne shoves Ricochet as he quickly escapes the ring. Ricochet finally gets his hands on Wayne with a nice takedown and headlock. Series of counters that culminates in Ricochet hitting a dropkick, and kick to the jaw! Ricochet gives chase and almost hits Mother Wayne when Nick hits him from behind. Ricochet is sent over the barricades. Ricochet fights back as the action is back into the ring. Ricochet with a springboard sidekick that sends Wayne outside and Ricochet follows from the top rope and crashes into Nick Wayne.



Ricochet hits a springboard and a running star cover. Both attempts only get him a near fall. Ricochet climbs to the top again as Wayne gets up and claws Ricochet’s eyes! Both men fighting on the top rope as Ricochet wins the battle. 450 splash misses as Wayne hits a stunner and tries for a rollup. Ricochet kicks out despite Wayne grabbing the ropes. Wayne hits a dragon suplex for a near fall. Ricochet counters Wayne’s World as he hits a deadlift suplex for a kick-out. Tradeoff of kicks between both men goes down as Ricochet comes off the ropes. Wayne hits his cutter and tries for a cover as somehow Ricochet kicks out! Wayne tries for Wayne’s World as Riccohet hits a knee to the face followed by the falcon arrow! Ricochet with the running elbow strike and this one is all over.


Here is your winner: Ricochet


That was actually very good. Nick Wayne is a star. That’s a fact and Ricochet is on another level and this worked well. Wayne doesn’t needs wins atm but his time is fast approaching.


Post match Takeshita stands at the top of the entrance ramp and holds the title above his head.



And with that Rampage is done and we had four solid matches and no squashes. One of the best Rampages for a while. Thanks for joining me guys.
