Winners: The Young Bucks, by pinfall

This was a fast and furious match that ended in the blink of an eye! The Bucks stay at the top of the AEW Tag Division, but they’ve got a challenge from FTR to consider. Will Matt & Nick make sure Cash & Dax learn who is really the top tag team around here?

Kris Statlander speaks.

“Welcome to the other side of Kris Statlander.” Will the Galaxy’s Greatest Alien show us her dark side soon enough?

Rampage returns with Dan Lambert, Paige VanZant & the Men of the Year.

Lambert has a mic already and says, “I’m gonna admit, I felt a little like a bride at the alter when a certain couple disappeared last month, and left me behind with all these great stripper jokes and no one to use them on. But I’m gonna take the high road when it comes to Tay & Sammy from this point forward. Because A, the legacy of the TNT and co-TNT titles has been disrespected enough already. And B, they don’t need my help embarrassing themselves with this high school king ‘n’ queen of the prom gimmick they got going on right now!”

Ethan Page says that in case you don’t get what “Dan the Man” is going on about, Tay & Sammy took NAKED PHOTOS with the prestigious TNT Championship! That’s not even the worst part! Who was behind the camera? Fuego del Sol doing some heavy lifting that Sammy’s not built up for? VanZant speaks up to say it was probably Orange Cassidy making that “Freshly Squeezed” nickname too literal. Lambert wants his team to stop, but Ethan says that was probably how Cassidy hurt his shoulder. Lambert says enough, they aren’t sinking to that level, Sammy & Tay aren’t getting their match, and this “interview” is over!

But then Sammy gets Lambert’s attention from the titantron. Not gonna give them the match, huh? Well, does Lambert like his car? Then consider this step one of changing Lambert’s mind. Tay & Sammy both have sledgehammers! And they take ’em to Lambert’s SURV! They SMASH windows, SMASH tail lights, and even the sun roof! Tay, get the spray paint! She gives Sammy the can, and he sprays “BE MAD” on the hood. Then BLAM, hammer through the windshield! The Spanish God & Brazilian Blackbelt just sent a message, will American Top Team have the response they want?

Backstage interview… with Hook?

Tony Schiavone is with the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil, who has taken AEW by storm. But before Schiavone even asks Hook anything, Danhausen says, “Silence!” He introduces himself, “Very nice, very evil. I’ve come to take over the airwaves via the television screens at home, take over humans, and make all the moneys. But of course, and curse your favorite wrestlers to appear up until last week, with you.” So then. BOOM! Curse! Hook is still not affected. The hell!? Hook just leaves, Danhausen asks the hell from Schiavone! He points, and bam, bad things. But not for Hook. Will Hook be unstoppable as he climbs up the AEW rankings?

Six Man Tag: The House of Black VS Fuego del Sol & The Dark Order!

Malakai Black, Brody King & Buddy Matthews all had a hand in manhandling Fuego these last couple of weeks, but it was Evil Uno, Stu Grayson and the rest of the Numbers that stopped the bullying and beating from going any further! Now, Fuego, Uno & Stu are teaming up, but will they be able to burn down the House of Black?

The trios sort out and Juggernaut Buddy starts against “Born for Combat” Stu Grayson. They circle and tie up as fans fire up. Buddy headlocks, Stu powers out but Buddy runs him over.

Fuego endures, fans rally up and Fuego gets to his feet as Rampage goes to break.

Rampage returns as Buddy knees Fuego low. Fuego avoids the running knee, slips under, but Buddy grabs a foot! Buddy reaches but he ducks the enziguri! Fuego keeps reaching for his corner, and he kangaroo kicks Buddy away! Hot tags to Malakai and Stu! Uno tags in as Stu jumps in, Stu dodges Malakai and Buddy to hit Brody!

Malakai blocks a kick, reels Fuego in and throws him, but Fuego lands on his feet!

Winners: The House of Black, by pinfall

The Fire of the Sun was once again snuffed out! Chris Jericho gives The House of Black his Sports Entertainer(s) of the Week award, but will Malakai, Brody & Buddy be looking for bigger prizes in the near future?

The Young Bucks are on the Cutler Cam.

Nick starts off. “AAA Tag Team Champions. Match of the Year Awards. Tag Team of the Year Awards. AEW World Tag Team Champions. Fans, you might be thinking we’re talking about FTR. But we aren’t. We’re talking about the Young Bucks.” Cutler speaks up to say they should add the IWGP titles. Well, Junior or Heavyweights? They did both. So shut up, Brandon! But speaking of FTR, Matt knows all that stuff Nick listed are also on FTR’s list of accomplishments. Except for one thing, and that’s beat the Young Bucks! Couldn’t quite do that, huh? And by now, FTR and the rest of the world have learned that the Bucks accept the challenge!

So next week in Boston, AEW Dynamite, Young Bucks VS FTR Part 2. Cutler, cut the camera, dumbass. Wait, what about PWG and ROH tag titles? Okay, good point, but still, shut the hell up, Brandon! See you in Boston, FTR! But when these two top teams meet, will FTR be coming off a Supercard of Honor win and be bringing two pairs of titles?

AEW makes BIG Dynamite matches!

Before going after the AEW World Championship again, Adam Cole takes on Christian Cage! Will Captain Charisma prove Adam Cole isn’t ready for a rematch with Hangman Page? Then, AEW raises the stakes in Bucks VS FTR 2, by making it a AAA Tag Team Championship match! Will FTR lose the right to say they’re the best luchadors in the world?

Penta Oscuro and Alex Abrahantes speak.

House of Black, Penta says, “Don’t forget about Death Triangle. If you continue to play with Fuego, you’re going to get burnt.” That’s because this is Penta Oscuro and he has #CEROMIEDO!

Mark Henry interviews tonight’s main eventers!

The World’s Strongest Man starts off with introductions for Keith Lee and “Powerhouse” Hobbs, but Hobbs speaks up! He wants to know why Mark can’t ask him the questions first. Is it cuz he’s not a Texas boy? Now that Keith’s here, he’s getting all the attention. But Hobbs tells Keith to listen up. Hobbs will do Keith a favor and open up The Book of Hobbs. Hobbs will hit Keith with that Last Will & Testament Spinebuster, then prove to Keith that he will not bask in glory until thou basks in defeat courtesy of Powerhouse Hobbs.

Keith says Hobbs is indeed powerful and a powerhouse. But “Mr. Hobbs” has been reading this autobiography when in reality he should check himself and get into the science fiction. The Keith Lee he faces tonight is unreal. And when you come to the ring, be prepared to bask in Keith’s glory as he teaches Hobbs a lesson, such as to respect those who came before you, such as Mark Henry. Keith wants Hobbs to prepare himself, because the end is near. Mark says there’s been enough talk. Time for the main event! Will the ring even be left standing after these two titans clash?

My Thoughts:

Another awesome episode of Rampage here. We got a great opener out of Bucks VS Top Flight, great innovation happening in that match. Bucks win, though, because as they say in their promo, they’re going against FTR so this is the momentum builder. The AAA tag titles on the line is awesome stuff, and who knows which way the match goes with that. Statlander “speaking” was a letdown, it was just a highlight reel and that one line. But I really liked Sammy & Tay bashing in Lambert’s car as their response to American Top Team talking crap. Of course we’re getting a match, but I bet they find a way to push it until Double or Nothing.

I really liked the cleverness of Danhausen speaking and being confused by Hook’s powers of indifference. Danhausen has finally spoken in AEW, and I wonder if he’ll actually wrestle in AEW against Hook. Great Six Man Tag, and I figured House of Black would win, but Fuego got to look great once again. Penta and Alex have a good promo to keep Death Triangle in the mix, but it certainly feels like they’re trying to wait until Fenix is 100%. We got a really good match from Hayter and Skye, but I figured Hayter would win. We’re going to get a lot of great names in both these Owen Hart Memorial Tournaments, and Hayter is pretty great.

And of course, we got an awesome main event. Keith is incredibly over, Hobbs and Team Taz are doing great Heel work, Swerve showing up is great (even though he was also on Supercard of Honor tonight so this proves Rampage is taped), I am thinking Keith & Swerve VS Team Taz in a tag match before perhaps another badass match of Keith VS Hobbs. Keith really should challenge Starks for the FTW Championship, win it, and who knows what else happens with that. Whether Sammy or Scorpio has the TNT Championship, Keith should definitely go after that next and then win that.

My Score: 8.9/10
