Darby Allin w/ Sting VS Marq Quen w/ Isiah Kassidy!

On Dynamite, The Relentless One and the Icon went after the Andrade Family Office after they kicked out Matt Hardy and beat him down, and now they look to settle things more directly. Will Darby ruin the party? Or will the party only turn up now that they got rid of Big Money Matt?

The bell rings and the two circle. They tie up, Quen kicks but Darby avoids it. Quen and Darby circle again, tie up and Darby wrenches to a wristlock. Darby trips Quen to then roll and wrench again. Quen rolls, kips up, but Darby tackles him down for a headlock! Quen kicks around and gets up to power out, but Darby hits a flying takedown! Fans rally for Darby as he grinds Quen. Quen fights up, powers out and arm-drags, but Darby hits a headlock takedown right out of it! Fans cheer this exchange, but Quen fights up again. Quen slips out of the headlock to get a hammerlock, but Darby reaches back to fight up.

Darby reaches around, moves around, and around, and he throws Quen right out! Then he builds speed, but Kassidy stands in the way! Fans boo and Sting steps over to warn Kassidy. Darby goes out and Kassidy finds himself cornered. But Quen swings, only to miss! Darby runs in, but is sent into steel steps!

Darby flops down, Quen stomps him, then hip drops on him. Quen digs his boots in at the corner but lets off as the ref counts.

Quen drags Darby up, whips him corner to corner hard, and Darby bounces off the buckles. Quen drags Darby up again and bumps him off buckles. Quen fires off shots in the corner but fans boo. Quen soaks up the heat, he talks some trash, and he double knuckle bumps with Kassidy. Darby kicks back but Quen stomps him down! Quen drags Darby up, puts him in a corner and RAMS his shoulder in. The ref counts, Quen lets off and he drags Darby up again. Quen wraps Darby up in a cobra twist! Darby endures, but Quen holds the ropes! The ref looks and Quen stops, but then Quen tries again.

The ref keeps his eyes on Quen, but Quen still gets away with holding ropes! The ref kicks the arm, and Darby hip tosses Quen down! Fans rally up as both men slowly stand. Quen facelocks and drags Darby through the ropes. Quen CLUBS Darby, but Darby wrenches the arm to HOTSHOT it! Darby then goes out, only for Quen to trip him on the apron!

Rampage goes picture in picture as Quen gets back in the ring. Quen stomps Darby, drags him up and RAMS his shoulder in again. Quen throws hands, but lets off as the ref counts.

Quen looms over Darby as fans rally up for him. Quen suplexes, but Darby pries free and gets a SCORPION DEATH DROP! Sting approves but both men are down. A standing count starts, Darby sits up at 4 of 10. Darby gets to a corner and climbs up fast, but Kassidy is there to distract! Darby talks trash, and Sting yanks Kassidy down! Sting whips Kassidy into the timekeeper’s area! But Quen trips Darby up! Darby hits ropes and then tumbles to the floor! Quen then goes up, to 450 SPLASH to the floor!!

Fans rally up but Quen covers, TWO!! Darby is still in this somehow, but Quen goes right back up. Quen vows to end it here, and he SHOOTING STAR PRESSES into a FUJIWARA!! Darby pulls way back, Quen taps! Darby wins!!

Winner: Darby Allin, by submission

Quen went to the extreme but it wasn’t enough to stop Darby! But wait, here comes the rest of the AFO! Jose, The Butcher, The Blade & The Bunny walk with El Idolo, but here come the HARDY BOYZ! Fans go nuts as Matt & Jeff are in their classic outfits! The AFO stand down, and Darby is in awe of these extreme icons! Will it eventually come to blows between El Idolo’s forces and these relentless legends?

BIG news for next week!

Rampage will have a special start time, 11:30 PM Eastern, or as soon as the NCAA Tournament coverage ends. Will AEW get in on the March Madness?

Dan Lambert and the Men of the Year speak.

Lambert goes first, saying, “We are here to make history, and as one of the premier pro-wrestling historians on this planet, I’ve already seen this Wardlow story play out before. In 1968, a 19-year-old Larry Zbyszko crawled out of the bushes into Bruno Sammartino’s backyard and begged for his guidance. He repaid that kindness with his betrayal, much like Wardlow did to MJF. But fear not, your TNT Champion will right that wrong next Wednesday on Dynamite, and Wardlow will go down in history as nothing more than another footnote in the greatest unbeaten streak AEW has ever seen.”

Ethan Page speaks up, saying, “Don’t let the one belt fool you, guys. On Wednesday night, Sky’s defending two titles: The TNT title, and his streak.” Scorpio tells “War Dog, nothing changes in San Antonio. You’re just a different opponent who’s gonna see the same result. This is the Face of TNT. Get used to it.” Scorpio snaps his fingers and we cut away. But will he really keep that win streak going? Or will Wardlow end Scorpio’s title reign in a snap?

The House of Black speaks.

Malakai starts by saying, “With the last rites concluded, the next rites will be written, and the guilt of a man who thought that he’d removed all poison from his heart. But we will make your eyes turn black again.” Brody King says, “Like a shark smelling blood, because that feeling of violence is like an addiction. And even now, you can reach out, and you can touch it and you can feel it, because we know your deepest…” “Secrets,” Buddy Matthews continues. “Dark, dark secrets. Which means the House knows your truth. Shh…” Who is the House speaking to? And what secrets do they know?

Jamie Hayter w/ Britt Baker & Rebel VS Mercedes Martinez!

AEW returns to ringside and everyone’s already here! Will the Doctor’s number one muscle do her job and take out their mercenary? Or will mean Ms. Mercedes mangle the Hayter for free?

The bell rings, Hayter and Mercedes circle and tie up. They go around, Mercedes turns Hayter around but Hayter fights the waistlock. Hayter drops in an attempt to break the hold but Mercedes holds on. Mercedes drags Hayter down, but Hayter slips out to facelock. Mercedes fights up, pries the hold and waistlocks again. Hayter switches, Mercedes switches, but Hayter reaches back for a headlock. Hayter hits a headlock takeover but Mercedes headscissors. Hayter kips free and the two stand off as fans cheer. Mercedes waits on Hayter and the two circle. Fans rally up, they tie up, and are in a deadlock.

Mercedes powers Hayter back a few steps, but Hayter puts her on the ropes. Mercedes turns that around, the ref counts but Hayter turns it back around. They end up in a corner, Hayter turns things around on Mercedes, but she lets off slowly. Mercedes dodges the sucker punch to fire off haymakers, CHOPS and forearms! Mercedes whips Hayter corner to corner, runs in but into a boot! Hayter runs, RAMS Mercedes, but Mercedes stays up! Hayter kicks and whips, but Mercedes boots back! Mercedes runs and LARIATS Hayter down! Mercedes drags Hayter up, fires forearms and CHOPS!

Mercedes fires off more, then brings Hayter out. Hayter rakes Mercedes’ eyes! The ref reprimands but Britt likes what she sees as Hayter digs her boots in at the corner. The ref counts, Hayter lets off, and Rampage goes picture in picture.

Hayter CLUBS Mercedes, chokes her on the ropes, and Britt talks trash. Hayter lets off as the ref counts, but Britt keeps talking crap. Hayter kicks Mercedes around, has her in the corner, but Mercedes throws shots back! Hayter ROCKS and stomps Mercedes in the corner! The ref counts, Hayter lets off, and she takes a bow. Britt praises Hayter and Hayter drags Mercedes up. Hayter snap suplexes, covers, TWO! Hayter clamps onto Mercedes’ neck then drags her up to dig an elbow into the shoulders. Hayter pulls hair, the ref reprimands, so Hayter lets off to chinlock. Hayter JAMS her knee into Mercedes’ back and pulls harder on the hold.

Hayter digs her forearm in Mercedes’ face but Mercedes fights up. Hayter fireman’s carries but Mercedes fights free and shoves Hayter, for a ROLLING ELBOW! Mercedes throws back elbows over and over at the ropes, but Hayter throws her down by her hair! Hayter stomps Mercedes around, then stands on Mercedes’ head! Mercedes gets to a corner, Hayter takes her time walking over. Hayter drags Mercedes up, CHOPS her, then smirks. Hayter CHOPS again and Mercedes staggers to another corner. Hayter CLUBS Mercedes then CHOKES her! The ref reprimands as Rampage goes to break!

Rampage returns and Mercedes BUTTERFLY SUPLEXES! She holds on for a new take on Una Amiga! And then DOS AMIGA BUTTERFLY! And then the elevated BUTTERFLY SUPLEX! Cover, TWO!!

IRISH CURSE BACKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Mercedes survives and Britt is not happy. Hayter drags Mercedes up, Mercedes throws body shots and palm strikes! Hayter haymakers and scoops, but Mercedes slips out!

Mercedes scoops, Hayter slips off, and Hayter shoves Mercedes to ropes, to DECK her with a forearm! Fans fire up and Britt is happy again. Hayter has wild eyes and she runs in at the corner, but Mercedes boots her! Mercedes EXPLODERS Hayter into buckles! Hayter flounders and fans rally up as Mercedes hoists Hayter to the top. Mercedes climbs up behind Hayter, CLUBS away on her, then stands her up, SPIDER GERMAN SUPLEX! Hayter gets folded for a moment, but Rebel gets in to distract the ref! Mercedes sits up on the corner, into Britt’s cheap shots! Mercedes falls to the mat as fans boo!

Mercedes gets up slowly, Hayter runs in, LARIAT! Cover, Hayter wins!

Winner: Jamie Hayter, by pinfall

Like doctor, like assistant! Hayter helped Britt screw over Thunder Rosa, Britt helped Hayter screw over Mercedes. But now they’re setting Mercedes up with the belt, but here comes Rosa with a chair! Rosa runs off Britt and her sidekicks! Will Rosa rip Britt apart inside that steel cage for St. Patrick’s Day Slam? Or will Britt still have a way to get away with the title?

Hikaru Shida speaks.

“Serena Deeb. Did you miss me? Oh, I missed you so much! I haven’t forgotten about you, even for a moment. Not in the hospital, not during rehab, not during my training. I’ve always been thinking about you. Thinking about revenge! What I did last Rampage is not enough! I need more! You can try to break my knee again, but this time, I will cut your head off!!” Will the Full Metal Warrior hunt the Wolf down and make her pay for treating her like prey?

Keith Lee VS QT Marshall w/ The Factory!

The Limitless One may have problems with Team Taz, but it’s really more with Will Hobbs and Ricky Starks. The Factory didn’t take kindly to that rejection, but will they feel even worse after QT gets crushed? Or will QT somehow, someway make Keith Lee look mortal?

The bell rings and fans sing for Keith, “OH~ Bask in His Glory~!” Keith conducts the audience but QT gets annoyed. QT talks trash, so Keith HEADBUTTS him down! Keith gets QT up, knuckle locks him, and Keith twists the wrist. Fans chant, “Keith Lee! WOOP WOOP!” and Keith straight arm levers QT up into the air! Keith holds him, drops him, then stands over QT as fans cheer. QT gets up and pokes Keith in the eye! Fans boo, QT fires off hands, then he taunts the song. Keith GRIZZLY MAGNUMS QT down for that! QT goes to a corner, Keith gets in to fire body shots! Keith then TOSSES QT across the ring!

Fans fire up and QT goes to the apron. Fans want that “One More Time!” and Keith brings QT up. QT HOTSHOTS Keith away! QT goes up the corner, and missile dropkicks! Keith is down! Cover, ONE!! QT goes flying just from the kick-out! QT brings Keith up and throws haymakers, but Keith gets mad! Keith snarls as he stands up, QT throws more haymakers, then a kick. QT whips but Keith blocks! Keith whips QT but QT goes up and over! QT keeps moving, but runs into a LARIAT! Fans fire up with Keith while The Factory panics!

Aaron Solo distracts the ref on the apron, and Nick Comoroto grabs Keith’s foot! QT slips off as Keith gets free, and QT SUPERKICKS! Keith staggers, QT ENZIGURIS! Keith drops to a knee and QT calls for it! QT waits for Keith to get up, DIAMOND- NO! Keith just stays up! Keith pushes QT, runs and POUNCES QT across the way!

Keith ROCKS Comoroto, then again! Comoroto throws haymakers, but Keith SWATS and ELBOWS Comoroto, pop-up for the SPIRIT BOMB! And Keith drags Solo up, to TOSS him out onto The Factory! Team Taz hops off commentary, they go to the ring, and Hobbs RAMS into Keith! Starks and Hobbs mug Keith but Keith swats them all away! But Hobbs hits a SPINEBUSTER! Team Taz stands tall, but it was still 2v1 after The Factory went after Keith. Will the Limitless One make them pay and #BaskInHisGlory?

Mark Henry talks with tonight’s main eventers.

Tony Nese is Swerve Strickland’s first opponent here in AEW, and he wanted to be the guy. Why? “Because I’m the Premier Athlete, okay? I’m on a winning streak! I haven’t been beat this year! But who gets all the praise? Who gets the big debut on Pay-Per-View where Tony Schiavone is going all crazy? Whoa, look, it’s Shane ‘Swerve’ Strickland! The crowd goes wild! I didn’t get that! And he doesn’t deserve it.” What is Swerve? Is Swerve a rapper? Well this isn’t a hip-hop show, this is a wrestling show. And Nese will give Swerve the welcome he’s always deserved.

Swerve tells Tony he sounds like “a real hatin’ ass dude right now,” but that’s exactly what Swerve expected. They have history, so how about some revisionist history tonight and Swerve whoops that ass on Fridays again? Oh, and, put some respect when you say “rapper,” cuz Swerve ain’t just a rapper. Swerve’s a mogul. And he’s about to turn this place into whose house? The fans reply, “Swerve’s House!” Swerve smiles and Henry says there’s been enough talk. It’s time for the main event! Will Swerve keep things how they were when he and Nese were 205 live? Or will Nese finally turn the tables on Swerve?

Swerve Strickland VS Tony Nese!

The bell rings and the two circle. Fans chant, “Whose House?” “Swerve’s House!” Nese tells them to shut up, this is HIS house! But no one chants for Tony’s House. Nese and Swerve circle, tie up, and Swerve hooks an arm to wrench and wrangle Nese down. Nese scrambles and gets to the ROPEBREAK, but Swerve lets off fast. Nese bails out and fans rally up for Swerve. Nese tells fans to shut up then he gets back in the ring. They tie up, Swerve gets a leg and trips Nese up. Nese grabs at Swerve’s leg but Swerve steps over to chinbar Nese. Nese wrenches back, has the wristlock, but Swerve uses ropes to flip through.

Swerve arm-drags Nese away and then hip tosses him down! Swerve gets the leg and wants the Half Crab but Nese hurries to get the ROPEBREAK. Swerve lets off at 3 this time and Nese kicks at Swerve as he goes to the apron. Nese tells fans to shut up again while Swerve waits on Nese. Nese returns, he and Swerve circle, and Nese kicks low. Nese CHOPS, whips Swerve corner to corner, then runs in, only for Swerve to go up, over, roll Nese and handspring headscissor! Fans fire up and Swerve whips. Nese holds ropes, Swerve gets annoyed, but Nese dodges, only for Swerve to drop down and trip Nese up!

Swerve keeps moving, basement dropkick! Nese flounders while fans fire up, but Nese pie faces Swerve away. Swerve storms up on Nese but Nese dumps him out, only for Swerve to handspring and land on his feet! Nese is frustrated but he slingshots. Swerve gets clear, Nese lands on the apron, and then Nese cartwheels to avoid Swerve! Nese runs in, but Swerve ducks and Nese crashes! Swerve goes to the apron and he BOOTS Nese down from above! Fans fire up for “Whose House?” “Swerve’s House!” Swerve swaggers, he gets Nese up and into the ring, but Nese pulls the apron skirt. Nese puts the skirt over Swerve’s head to then dropkick Swerve down!

Fans boo and the ref reprimands but Nese goes out as Rampage goes picture in picture. Nese stomps Swerve, paces around, then drags him up. Nese whips Swerve into steel steps hard! The steps go sliding away while Swerve writhes. Nese gets Swerve up and into the ring, chases after, and CLOBBERS Swerve with an elbow! Nese rains down fists then lets off to cover, ONE!! Nese is annoyed again and he drags Swerve up. Swerve throws body shots, but Nese grabs an ear! Swerve hits Nese again and CHOPS him! Swerve throws haymakers but Nese dropkicks him down! Cover, TWO! Nese is annoyed again but he literally flexes on Swerve.

Nese talks trash, drags Swerve up and throws him out of the ring. Swerve goes to railing as Nese flexes again. The ring count climbs but Swerve gets to the apron. Nese drags Swerve into the ring, but Swerve puts him on ropes. The ref counts, Swerve throws some body shots. Swerve reels Nese into a waistlock, then GERMAN SUPLEXES, but Nese lands on his feet! Nese DOUBLE STOMPS Swerve down, then covers, TWO! Swerve survives but now Nese has the body scissors! Nese puts the squeeze on Swerve but Swerve endures. Swerve moves around, Nese pulls hair but the ref reprimands.

Swerve clubs the legs, reaches out for ropes, but Nese squeezes tighter. Swerve pushes back to a cover, TWO! Nese still holds Swerve down, but fans rally up. Swerve pries at the legs as Rampage returns to single picture, and Nese clubs Swerve on the back. Swerve CHOPS Nese, turns around inside the scissors, but Nese pushes Swerve down with a chinbar. Swerve fights, Nese CHOPS him! Swerve CHOPS back! Nese CHOPS again, so Swerve throws forearms! Swerve gets free of the scissors to fire off more shots! Nese gets away, gets Swerve up but Swerve fire seven more shots! Swerve ducks Nese’s counter punch to ROCK him with a right!

Nese goes to a corner, Swerve storms over but is put on the apron. Swerve throws body shots through the ropes, then he slingshots and somersaults, but into a SHORYUKEN from Nese! Nese gets Swerve up, brings him over and BULLDOG HOTSHOTS! Nese then PREMIER TRIANGLE MOONSAULTS, but he FLOPS as Swerve moves! Fans fire up, Swerve gets to a corner but Nese goes for a waistlock. Swerve breaks free with a leg to then ROCK Nese again! Swerve CHOPS Nese off his feet! And again! Swerve whips Nese to a corner and uppercuts, then snapmares for the FLYING UPPERCUT to Nese’s shoulders!

Fans fire up and Swerve grits his teeth. Nese gets up, Swerve shoves him and scoops, tilt-o-whirl SLAM, deadlift BRAINBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Nese survives but Swerve snarls. Fans rally up again as Swerve goes back to a corner. Swerve goes right up, but Nese SHORYUKENS again! Swerve is stuck up top, Nese runs in to KICK him into a fireman’s carry! And then GUTBUSTER DROP! Cover, TWO! Swerve survives and fans fire up even more! Nese snarls and he stalks Swerve to a corner. Nese scrapes his boot off Swerve’s face then digs it in, but lets off as the ref counts. Nese runs side to side, but Swerve somersaults to clinch!

Winner: Swerve Strickland, by pinfall

Whose House? Swerve’s House! Swerve was on a Rampage and he won, just like he promised! Is this just the first of many wins for Strickland now that he’s All Elite?

My Thoughts:

Another great Rampage! Though of course NCAA March Madness gets in the way of Rampage next week. Darby VS Quen was a great opener, and Darby of course wins, but I also like that the Hardy Boyz showed up to make sure the Andrade Family Office didn’t go after Darby & Sting. This furthers the idea that we’ll get an 8 Man Tag of Darby, Sting & Hardy Boyz VS Private Party, Butcher & Blade. Then we can have Andrade take on Matt or Jeff Hardy 1v1 as the blow-off. Lambert and The Men of the Year had a good promo, and as I said with Dynamite, I’m thinking MJF ruins things for Wardlow and Scorpio retains.

The House of Black has another very good promo, and I’m thinking it’s supposed to be Pac they were referring to since they brought up the person’s eyes. But I am intrigued to know what this secret could be, that might make for a really cool twist. Hikaru Shida had a good promo to hype up the feud with Serena Deeb, and we got a good match out of Hayter VS Mercedes. But of course, Mercedes gets cheated just like Rosa did. I therefore can see Mercedes coming out to go after Hayter and Rebel the moment they try to interfere during the steel cage match. Then that will allow Rosa to win against Britt and become AEW Women’s World Champion in her hometown.

Of course Keith Lee beats QT, and of course he gets past Comoroto and Solo, but it should’ve been obvious Starks and Hobbs were going to get after Keith. I would love to see Keith VS Hobbs 1v1, and then Keith VS Starks after. Maybe the FTW Championship is on the line? And then we got a great main event out of Swerve VS Nese, definitely worthy of the hype Swerve comes in with and the streak Nese was on. AEW knows how to use great wrestlers as great wrestlers, and Swerve is a great wrestler so you can bet he’ll be going for that TNT Championship sooner rather than later. Swerve feuding with the Men of the Year would make for a good Spring or Summer story.

My Score: 8.5/10

Jack Perry has accepted The Wrestler’s challenge for the AEW TNT Championship, while Matthew & Nicholas were considering the challenge for the AEW World Tag Team Championships. But will Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy make the EVPs accept by beating them now like they did roughly five years ago? Or will The Scapegoat & The Bucks show us why they are THE Elite?

They feel things out, knuckle lock, and then clinch. Shibata throws Perry down to then have a lateral press. Perry moves around, Shibata has the top mount, and Shibata toys with Perry a bit before he shifts into the ARMBAR! Perry fights around, clasps hands, and has the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts but Shibata lets off quickly. Shibata storms up but Perry is in the ropes. The ref has Shibata stand back, but then Perry pie faces Shibata!

The ref reprimands, but Perry eggs Shibata on. Perry then bails out, but Shibata pursues! Perry slides in, tags Nick, and Perry TACKLES Shibata as he slides in!

Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.

Renee Paquette is with The Galaxy’s Greatest and notes we haven’t seen Kris in action since her win at All Out. What does she have her sights set on next? Kris says we could all sense that Chicago Street Fight was the end of an era for her. She has been in a group, she has had a manager, and with the anniversary of Dynamite just passing, let’s bring it back to how she started in AEW: on her own. Kris is stronger, more independent, she’s like, a “Born Again Kristen.” We all saw that she is the toughest, the strongest, and- Kamille steps in. The Brickhouse asks if that’s right. Biggest? Toughest? Strongest? Her match is next.

Kamille pushes past Kris, and Mercedes Mone follows. The CEO tells Kris, “You better watch, b*tch.” Mone laughs, did she just put herself on Kris’ radar?

Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.

Renee is now with the wacky Aussie and says while she’s in a match tonight with Queen Aminata, does Harley have an update on Saraya after that vicious match with Jamie Hayter? Harley says Saraya is currently incapacitated. No further questions. But what about her match with- NO further questions! Then what about…? Oh, yes, yes, her match. She should say something on that. Harley tells Aminata, “You are in a lot of trouble. RAWR!” That’ll do, right? Sure… Harley heads out, will she take out her frustrations on Aminata tonight? Or is she going to end up “incapacitated” alongside Saraya?

Kamille w/ Mercedes Mone VS Zoey Lynn!

The Brickhouse is The CEO’s big investment, and insurance policy. Will the former NWA World Women’s Champion remind us why she is a former NWA World Women’s Champion? Or can Zoey bring her down with some Angel Dust?

The bell rings and Kamille SPEARS Zoey!! The fans boo but Mone says Kamille has arrived! Kamille drags Zoey up, dragon sleepers, and TWISTING NECKBREAKER! Cover, Kamille wins!

Winner: Kamille, by pinfall

Backstage interview with Anna Jay.

Renee is now with The Queenslayer, and says she had a tremendous showing in her return to AEW last week. It got a lot of people’s attention, but especially Will Ospreay. Anna says yes, Ospreay tweeted out a compliment on how great she has improved, from footwork to pacing, so she thanks Ospreay for that. He’s not too bad himself. Having one of the greatest wrestlers alive today see your hard work paying off is one of the best feelings ever. So if Ospreay sees it, then you know the AEW Women’s Division is seeing it. So if you don’t take her word for it, and if you don’t take Ospreay’s word for it, just do her a favor and try her.

Deonna Purrazzo & Taya Valkyrie speak.

The Virtuosa says, “This thing of ours operates according to a code. That those who want respect give respect.” La Wera Loca says, “It’s simple, elegant.” Deonna has shown Taya generosity, and Taya accepted it. Despite early missteps, Deonna remains committed to this thing of theirs, because Taya has earned Deonna’s respect by owning the misstep. Taya says there is much to learn for “I” to become “We.” Deonna says that is what is missing in a place like AEW. These two must teach AEW that they are all bound together by the code. Those that want respect must give respect. And those who refuse get it beaten into them!

Queen Aminata VS Harley Cameron!

The One True African Woman may have Serena Deeb in her sights, and the wacky Aussie may have Jamie Hayter on her mind, they both must focus on who is in the ring with them. Will Aminata prove to the Professor that she doesn’t need the lessons? Or can Harley show Hayter that she’s not the only one who hits hard?

The bell rings, the two circle, and Harley KNEES low! Harley headlocks, Aminata powers up and out, then waistlocks. Harley fights the lift, throws elbows, then runs. Aminata gets around to waistlock and SLAM! The fans fire up while Harley hobbles up. Aminata and Harley circle again, Harley gets around to waistlock, but Aminata wrenches out. Aminata wristlocks, brings Harley down, then steps over to twerk attack! Aminata wrenches more, but Harley kicks low! And KICKS again! And ENZIGIRIS! Aminata wobbles, Harley brings Aminata in and, uh, wait, aren’t The Iron Savages the ones who take us to Tiddy City?

Harley runs, but Aminata ROCKS her! Amianta snapmares Harley, runs, and PENALTY KICKS! The fans fire up while Aminata smiles, and she stalks Harley to a corner. Aminata runs around the world to BOOT WASH! Aminata reminds us she is the one and only, and Rampage goes picture in picture.

Harley CLUBS Aminata down, then clamps on a chinlock.

Harley grinds Aminata down, but Aminata endures. Aminata fights up, fights back, but Harley knees low again! Harley bumps Aminata off buckles, stomps a mudhole in, but steps off as the ref counts. Harley bumps Aminata off more buckles, then grinds her boot in. The ref counts, Harley steps back, and she drags Aminata up. Harley brings Aminata around to throw her down by her hair! Cover, TWO! Aminata stays in this, but Rampage goes to break.

Rampage returns and Harley ELBOWS Aminata in the shoulder! And ELBOWS her again! Harley LICKS Aminata, then runs to SHINING WIZARD! Cover, TWO! Harley overcommitted on that deep leg hook, and Amianta survives for it. Harley runs in, but Aminata puts her on the apron! Harley ROUNDHOUSES, puts Aminata in ropes, and AX KICKS her down! The fans boo but Harley aims, to then run and- NO, Aminata blocks the kick to trip Harley up! Harley hits the apron hard, and Aminata brings her around. DOUBLE CHOP! The fans fire up and Aminata puts Harley in the ring. Aminata storms up but Harley fires forearms!

Aminata ROCKS Harley! And DOUBLE CHOPS! Harley falls, jumps back up, but Aminata wrenches and snap suplexes! And LARIATS! Cover, TWO!! Harley survives but Aminata stays cool. Aminata runs in again, but Harley avoids the boot wash! Harley RAMS into Aminata again and again, but the ref counts. Harley lets off, huffs ‘n’ puffs, then runs in.

Aminat ais up, she dodges Harley, and scoops again! Harley tilt-o-whirls but Aminata powers her to a BACKBREAKER!

The fans fire up, QUEEN’S CROWN!! Cover, Aminata wins!

Serena grins as she grabs the leg and pulls it against ropes in a HALF CRAB! Aminata taps, but here comes Britt Baker! The Doctor is returning the favor from Wednesday, but Serena bails! The Professor got her shots on Aminata, but will the walls start closing in?

Backstage interview with The Acclaimed.

Renee is now with Max Caster, Anthony Bowens & Billy Gunn, and Caster is still sporting the remade jacket. With that, let’s talk MXM Collection. It is hard to keep track of what is going on, but Billy speaks up. He doesn’t mean to correct her, but he is “Hans!” Hans Gunn! But MXM, how stupid are you to not know it was Billy? It was Billy all along! So stupid, trying to embarrass The Best Wrestler Alive, try to embarrass The Acclaimed, with a makeover on Caster’s jacket. Y’know what? Caster likes the lace, how it makes his arms look bigger. And this heart cutout makes his muscles look popping! He looks as handsome as ever!

Bowens says that’s right! Before, they were gonna cut that thing up. But no, MXM just embarrassed themselves. Acclaimed said to nut up or shut up, and they sure shut up MXM real quick. Just like they will do if they get in the ring. Because once The Acclaimed is done with MXM, they will get the makeover of a lifetime. WHY? Because EVERYONE Loves The Acclaimed! When and where will Platinum Max & The Scissor King cut down the Sultan of Suave and the Mahogany Hunk?

BREAKING NEWS for WrestleDream!

After Konosuke Takeshita attacked Will Ospreay and Ricochet on Wednesday, it seems the only way to settle this International Championship scenario is with a TRIPLE THREAT! Will The Alpha finally have gold in AEW? Will the Aerial Assassin finally be done with The Don Callis Family? Or are they both overlooking The One & Only?

Orange Cassidy & Kyle O’Reilly VS “Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith!

The Conglomeration has been very busy this week. They were here Wednesday to confront The Learning Tree, and we now have Mark Briscoe VS Chris Jericho for the ROH World Championship at WrestleDream. But speaking of, Jericho is joining commentary to watch his guys, The Redwood & The Bad Apple. Will Freshly Squeezed & The Violent Artist prune these Branches? Or will they be made to respect Chris Jericho?

The teams sort out and Cassidy starts against Bill. The fans rally as Cassidy and Bill stare down, and Bill mocks the hands in pockets. The fans boo, but Bill says show him how it’s done then. Cassidy puts his hands near pockets, but Bill runs up! Cassidy dodges, sunset flips, but Bill stays standing. Cassidy stops trying, and Bill YANKS Cassidy up! Bill whips, Cassidy stops by holding ropes, and then Casidy bails out. Cassidy shakes his head, knowing his limits against a man as big as Bill.

Bill steps back in, Cassidy ducks ‘n’ dodges and tags Kyle! Kyle runs up but Bill RAMS him! Kyle drops out of the ring and the fans cheer. Bill is annoyed as he watches Kyle & Cassidy coordinate.

Meanwhile, Kyle & Cassidy only have 24 hours to rest, because they have a Collision with The Premier Athletes tomorrow night! Will Pittsburgh be Freshly Squeezed all weekend long?

My Thoughts:

A great Rampage here, which is interesting as there’s word Rampage is going to be shut down for whatever show AEW puts on Fox Sports 1. Honestly, they should’ve been trying hard the whole time with Rampage but whatever. Kamille probably had the shortest squash match in AEW yet, but it was to make a point after she and Mone got in Kris’s face. Kris’s promo was still rather Heel like, but it’s a bit surprising that she and Stokely Hathaway have just parted ways with no real pomp or circumstance. And pitting her against Kamille and Mone would be quite the way to turn her back to Face. Not that Kris’s attitude needs to change, she’d just be Face by default with those two.

Very good promo from Deonna & Taya, this maybe should’ve been given to us a bit sooner, but it also doesn’t really add much to the story. Good promo from Anna Jay, can’t wait to see what’s next for her. Good promo from Harley to segue into her match, which was a great match. Like Anna Jay, Harley is really improving, but Aminata still gets a great win. But of course Serena attacks Aminata, and then of course Britt Baker saves Aminata. I feel like we could get a tag match of Britt & Aminata VS Serena and who knows, but it’d be a great opportunity for any Heel to get on TV, maybe have someone actually take Serena up on teaching them things.

Great opening Six Man Tag tonight, definitely higher quality than what they usually put on Rampage. And it was rather surprising Shibata & Private Party took the win here, if only because they also announced that Triple Threat #1 Contenders match during it. I kinda though that news undercut what was going on in the match, regardless of who won. But given the feud between House of Black and Top Flight, I feel like Private Party wins out and they get the tag title match. As it stands, it doesn’t feel like Shibata or Private Party win the titles at WrestleDream, mostly because The Elite might cheat, but it’d be so great if Private Party finally won the big one.

And great main event here, even if this feud of Conglomeration and #JerichoVortex is going a little longer than needed. I really hope Jericho VS Briscoe for the ROH World Championship is the blowoff, and hopefully with Briscoe retaining. Not sure what that would mean for either team, but if it’s what we’ve all been hoping, i.e. Jericho mistreating Bill and Bill turning on Jericho, that’d be nice. Bill can maybe get himself going on a title story, too, using even just one win over Jericho as the springboard towards the TNT or Continental Championships.
