Backstage interview with Hook.
Lexi Nair asks the FTW Champion about being called out by Matthew Menard & Angelo Parker. Has he had a chance to see that video? Yeah, he saw it. And he’s been thinking about it. Hook doesn’t care. Hook leaves, and now Daddy Magic & Cool Hand Ange barge in! Where’d he go? Lexi says Hook is literally over there. Well, that’s typical Hook! But Menard has a little secret to tell the world! Cool Hand Ange & Daddy Magic WANNA TASTE O’ THE TITLE! Parker says Hook walks around AEW with that “I don’t care” attitude, but they see right through that! They see Hook and he’s nothing but a scared little boy. And who is to blame for that? The AEW GALAXY!
The fans have done nothing but put pressure on the kid! They see him as some young phenomenon, but what if they took the FTW title from Hook, “and all the weight that comes with it?” What if Hook didn’t have to be scared anymore? WHAT IF?! The Jericho Appreciation Society keeps throwing out the challenge, will the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil care now?
AEW TNT Championship: Wardlow VS Ryan Nemeth!
Though he and FTR are about to face Jay Lethal and the Motor City Machine Guns, the Maestro of Mayhem must still defend his title. The Hollywood Hunk has a mic as he makes his entrance to say something first. “The best part about growing up in Cleveland~…! Is LEAVING Cleveland! I did what all of you wish you could do! The first chance I got, I packed my bags and I moved to a real city. And Ryan Nemeth became THE Hollywood Hunk!” Fans can cheer, it’s fine. “Let’s Go, Hunk! Let’s Go, Hunk!” Fans boo instead, but Nemeth says they shouldn’t do that. He knows what they cheer for! It’s for the worst team in the history of the NFL, the Cleveland Browns!
But here comes Wardlow! The War Dog is proud to be from The Land, and The Land is proud to have him! The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if the hometown hero makes the Hunk pack his bags all over again!
Wait, speaking of Lethal and MCMG, Sonjay Dutt, Satnam Singh & Jay Lethal walk out here with Chris Sabin! Nemeth gets back on the mic to shout that this isn’t about them! Wardlow needs to pay attention to Nemeth because this is about Nemeth and his title shot! To be honest, Nemeth doesn’t know what AEW or the fans see in Wardlow. Nemeth should be champion! Nemeth should have the gold! Nemeth should be the face of TNT! He’s the star! He’s the local boy! He did good! He’s the Hunk, but Wardlow is like everyone else here: a loser nobody two-pump chump! Wardlow is pathetic and disgusting- HEADBUTT!!
The bell finally rings, and Wardlow points a finger gun at Nemeth. BANG and the wind-up, BIG LARIAT!! Fans fire up but Lethal’s group doesn’t take this seriously. Wardlow brings the straps down and brings Nemeth in! Fans fire up for the POWERBOMB!! Wardlow is just getting warmed up, but again Lethal’s group doesn’t take it seriously. Fans chant “One More Time!” and Wardlow says that’s exactly what he was thinking! ANOTHER POWERBOMB!! And then the roll into the reset, A THIRD POWERBOMB!! And then another, for the FOURTH!! Cover, Wardlow wins!
Winner: Wardlow, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)
Wardlow smiles at Lethal’s group. Are they taking him seriously now? Or will it take him powerbombing Lethal, Sabin and Shelley in Chicago to get through to them?
Backstage interview with the Andrade Family Office.
Apparently that name is still in effect, as Lexi Nair is with Andrade El Idolo, Rush, Jose the assistant, and Private Party. Last week, we saw both teams, Private Party and La Faccion Ingobernable, come up short in big title matches. How are they handling this? Andrade says Quen & Kassidy lost. Well, yes. But what about you? We all saw LFI lose in 4K HD. No, Dragon Lee lost. They saw what happened: Rush beat down his own brother! Jose speaks up but Kassidy says no one asked his opinion! Andrade has everyone relax. He wants them to listen to him: “Everything in this world has consequences.” Then what will the consequences be of Private Party failing El Idolo again?
“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs VS Ashton Day!
Ricky Starks called out the “snake” that is his former friend and tag team partner, and now they are having it out at All Out! But will Hobbs prove to Starks and everyone that the only absolute in AEW is that Hobbs breaks bones?
The bell rings and Hobbs stares Day down, to then CLOBBER him! Day flounders, Hobbs drags him up and CHOKES him against ropes! Hobbs wants Day to tell Ricky what’s coming! The ref counts, Hobbs lets off, and Hobbs drags Day up. Hobbs SLAPS Day around, whips him and CLOBBERS him! Hobbs looms over Day and he mocks Starks’ pose! Fans boo but Hobbs smiles. Hobbs drags Day up again, reels him in, SPINEBUSTER!! Cover, Hobbs wins!
Winner: Will Hobbs, by pinfall
Day’s night is over but wait! The Factory commandeers a camera! Nick Comoroto shows us that Cole Karter and Aaron Solo are CHOKING Starks! QT Marshall says, “Hey, Powerhouse. I told you my word is my bond. And you will not have to worry about Ricky Starks making it to All Out.” But QT has Ogogo hold on. This one’s on the house. QT uses his gold watch as brass knuckles as he JABS Starks in the face!! Starks flops over, blood in the mouth! Hobbs nods and heads out, will he end up not having to go All Out?
Backstage interview with The Baddies.
Lexi Nair is with Kiera Hogan, Leila Grey and the AEW TBS Champion, Jade Cargill, and “safe to say, things have been heating up between you and Athena.” Jade gets upset by that. Heating up? Is she serious? Leila speaks up but then Jade stops her. Leila, what have you done for Jade lately? As a matter of fact, Kiera should take out the trash. They’re done with her, bye. Jade then calls out Athena, but then tells Lexi that she’s not needed, either. Lexi storms off, and Jade tells Athena that September 4th, All Out in Chicago, “come and get these hands.” ATHENA AMBUSHES JADE! She made the mistake of being all alone!
They brawl, security rushes in to stop it, and now that the match is made, there’s nothing left to do but wait! Will the Fallen Goddess be the one to finally stop the streak? Or will #ThatBitch still be undefeated?
Mixed Tag: Sammy Guevara & Tay Melo VS Ruby Soho & Ortiz!
As part of the Jericho Appreciation Society, the Spanish God and his Brazilian Bride have been bullying and blindsiding anyone who Eddie Kingston considers a friend. But the Runaway and “Monkey” are ready to fight back like there’s no tomorrow! Will the AAA World Mixed Tag Team Champions be shown up? Or will #SamTay kiss them good-bye?
The teams sort out and it’s ladies first. Soho rushes Tay but Tay BOOTS her bad arm away! Tay cravats then throws knees! Tay wrenches, clinches, kicks Ruby down then isolates the bad arm! Tay stomps the hand! Tay isolates the arm again and twists the wrist. Ruby endures, Ortiz coaches her up and fans rally, but Tay stomps the elbow! Ruby clutches her arm but Tay grabs it again. Ruby throws a knee, then she RAMS Tay into the corner! Ruby fires off shoulders, then RAMS Tay more! The ref counts, Ruby lets off at 4, but she runs back in, only for Tay to dodge the boot! Tay KNEES Ruby right in the bad arm!
Tay wrenches Ruby’s arm, but Ruby CLAWS Tay’s face! Ruby ROCKS Tay with a right! Tay staggers into a tag, and Ortiz rushes in to CLOBBER Sammy! Ortiz rallies on Sammy, covers, ONE! Sammy kicks low and soaks up the heat. Sammy wags his finger at those who boo, then he whips Ortiz. Ortiz reverses to short arm LARIAT! And then again! Ortiz scoops Sammy to SLAM him, then Ruby runs in to combine, wheelbarrow SPLASH! Ortiz covers while Tay complains, TWO! Ortiz SLAPS Sammy, CLAWS his back, and rawr, tiger claws. Ortiz drags Sammy up, but Sammy gets under the lariat to shove him away.
Tay grabs at Ortiz at the ropes, Ortiz shakes free, but Sammy DROPKICKS Ortiz down! Fans boo, especially as SamTay kiss again. Sammy swaggers back to Ortiz as AEW goes picture in picture.
Sammy soaks up the heat, covers Ortiz, TWO! Sammy stalks Ortiz to ropes and CHOKES him, but lets off at 4. Sammy argues with the ref, and both Tay and Parker get their shots in on Ortiz! Parker anchors Ortiz, Ruby protests but that only distracts the ref, allowing Tay to get in! SamTay double suplex Ortiz down! Sammy flexes, covers, TWO! Sammy clamps onto Ortiz with a facelock but Ortiz breaks free and CHOPS back! Sammy kicks Ortiz low! Sammy brings Ortiz up, suplexes, but Ortiz blocks! Sammy throws body shots, then lifts Ortiz for a stalling suplex! The count reaches about 5 before Ortiz turns that around into a cradle! TWO!!
Sammy CLOBBERS Ortiz! Cover, TWO! Sammy kicks Ortiz to ropes, hooks him up, but the ref counts. Sammy lets off but Parker gets another cheap shot in! Sammy storms back over, but Ortiz CHOPS him! And CHOPS! Sammy pokes Ortiz in the eyes! The ref reprimands and Sammy “apologizes” before he pushes Ortiz over. Cover, TWO, and Sammy clamps onto Ortiz with a half straitjacket stretch. Ortiz endures, Sammy fishhooks Ortiz’s face, and the ref reprimands. Sammy lets go as AEW goes to break.
Rampage returns and Sammy runs in at the corner, only for Ortiz to BOOT him away! Ortiz swings, misses, but comes back to LARIAT Sammy inside-out! Fans fire up with Ruby as she’s chomping at the bit! Ortiz rolls, hot tags to Ruby and Tay! Ruby TACKLES Tay and rains down forearms! Ruby lets off to SOBAT, KICK and SAIDO! Tay flounders to a corner and fans fire up! Ruby runs Around the World to YAKUZA KICK! Tay flops down, Ruby covers, TWO! Ruby stares Parker down and then drags Tay up. Ruby bumps Tay off buckles, hoists her up top, then climbs up after her. Ruby throws hands but Sammy sucker punches Ortiz!
The ref reprimands Sammy but he goes after Ruby! Ruby HEADBUTTS Tay but Sammy brings her off the corner into an Electric Chair Lift! Ruby uses that to POISON-RANA him!! Sammy bails out, but Tay CROSSBODIES! Cover, TWO!! Ruby survives and fans fire up. Ruby and Tay stand, Tay clinches but Ruby JAWBREAKERS! Ruby mule kicks, runs, but Sammy stands in her way! The ref reprimands but Sammy wags his fingers at Ruby. Ruby swings, Sammy dodges, but Ortiz DDT’s Sammy, at the same time Tay DECKS Ruby! Ortiz turns around into a BOOT from Tay! Tay then tilt-o-whirls, but Ortiz blocks the DDT!
Ortiz tosses Tay away, she comes back but he blocks her boot! Ortiz hands that off to Ruby for her to KNEE Tay! Then wrench and NO FUTURE KICK!! Cover, Sammy brings Ruby off! The ref reprimands again but Sammy pokes Ruby in the shoulder. Ruby is pissed, but she says she’ll play by the rules. Tag to Ortiz! Ortiz chases Sammy to the other corner! Ortiz fires off hands, Parker gets on the apron, and the ref is busy with all that, allowing ANNA JAY (A S) to rush out and RAM Ruby into steel steps! A bloodied Ortiz turns around to see what happened, and Sammy springboards, FLYING CUTTER!! Cover, SamTay wins!!
Winners: Sammy Guevara & Tay Melo, by pinfall
From commentary, Jericho says this is another example of why the JAS is the most dominant faction in AEW! And so together, Sammy, Tay, Anna & Parker all get Jericho’s Sports Entertainer(s) of the Week Award! But then how will the pro-wrestlers of Ruby, Ortiz and Eddie Kingston going to respond?
AEW shares exclusive backstage footage from Dynamite.
While moving the Undisputed AEW World Championship match to last Wednesday night was already a shocking move, no one could’ve predicted what would happen once the bell rang. Punk gave Moxley a powerful roundhouse, only for his repaired left foot to give out on him. Moxley still gave Punk a beating, and then Moxley won the match! While Moxley celebrated and voiced his thoughts, Punk was helped to the back. Punk knew he couldn’t put any weight on the bad foot. It didn’t pop or snap, it just gave out. But that unfortunately was the same thing that happened when he first broke it. Punk isn’t sure what that means. Will he miss more than just All Out at this point?
Mark Henry speaks with tonight’s main eventers!
The World’s Strongest Man welcomes us back to Rampage, and he says Dustin Rhodes accepted Claudio Castagnoli’s open challenge by saying he would give him the best Natural that he’s ever had. Dustin says there’s a lot of history between him and Claudio. But to have world heavyweight championship stakes, this is what dreams are made of! This is Dustin’s opportunity, this is his shot, and he promises Claudio that he IS giving him the best version of The Natural, Dustin Rhodes, he’s ever seen. Because believe him, he can beat Claudio.
Mark says Claudio is facing one of the greats, who is coming in with a lot of confidence. What are his thoughts? Claudio says that’s exactly what he wants. He wants to face a living legend like Dustin, who is supremely confident right now. That is what the Blackpool Combat Club is all about. They’re about competition! That is what the ROH World title is all about. It’s about that level of competition! But Claudio will say this. Everyone is supremely confident, until they step into the ring with Claudio! So tonight, Dustin, Claudio must apologize but he’ll have to shatter your dreams, because he is still gonna be Claudio Castagnoli, ROH World Heavyweight Champion!
Mark says it looks like there’s been enough talk. It’s time for the main event! With both men giving their best, who proves they are THE best and leaves The Land with gold?
ROH World Championship: Claudio Castagnoli w/ Wheeler Yuta VS Dustin Rhodes w/ Arn & Brock Anderson!
The introductions are of course made by Bobby Cruise, and the belt is raised as tonight, we see what it takes to become a world champion VS what it takes to stay a world champion!
Caprice Coleman joins commentary, but so does William Regal, which means Jericho is leaving! The Code of Honor is upheld and fans cheer as the two circle fast. They feel things out, tie up, and Claudio puts Dustin on the ropes. Dustin turns things around, Claudio pushes back and the two reset. They feel things out again, but Dustin backs away to a corner. Claudio backs off, Dustin comes back and Dustin gets a headlock. Claudio powers up and out but Dustin runs him over! They keep moving, Dustin avoids the back drop to roll Claudio up, ONE! Dustin hurries to whip Claudio and arm-drags! Cover, TWO!
The two stand off again, but Dustin lets Claudio know, he got a two-count on him. Fans fire up as Claudio and Dustin reset again. Claudio and Dustin tie up, Claudio waistlocks, and he drags Dustin down to then clamp onto a neck wrench. Dustin endures so Claudio shifts to a chinlock. Dustin fights up, Claudio hits a takeover and he resists the headscissors. Dustin’s shoulders are down, ONE and Dustin drags Claudio into a cover! TWO, Claudio holds onto the headlock but Dustin fights up. Dustin puts Claudio on ropes, then powers out of the headlock. Things speed up, Claudio runs Dustin over! Dustin hits ropes on the way down!

Dustin slingshots and sunset flips but Claudio stays up! Claudio has the legs to prawn hold, TWO!! Dustin survives and now Claudio rubs it in that that was a two-count. Fans fire up and Claudio EuroUppers! Claudio wrenches, hammerlocks, then RAMS Dustin into buckles! Claudio YANKS Dustin, whips him to ropes, but Dustin reverses to hit an atomic drop! Then Dustin runs to BOOT Claudio down! Cover, ONE!!
Dustin clamps onto the arm and he brings Claudio up. Dustin whips, Claudio reverses, but Dustin ducks ‘n’ dodges, only for Claudio to duck the crossbody! Dustin crashes ‘n’ burns and flops back out of the ring! Claudio stays back while Arn checks on Dustin, and AEW goes picture in picture.
Arn and Brock make sure Dustin’s okay. Dustin nods and sits back up, but the air sure got knocked out of him. Dustin drags himself into the ring, Claudio is right on him with EuroUppers! Claudio has Dustin in a corner, pulls his arm around ropes then YANKS on it! The ref reprimands, Claudio brings Dustin out to scoop. SHOULDER BREAKER! Cover, TWO! Claudio keeps cool, and he keeps on Dustin’s arm with a double wristlock. Dustin endures as Claudio twists the arm and wrist around. The Andersons rally the fans, Dustin fights up, but Claudio knees low! Claudio scoops, Dustin slips out and shoves to kick low. But Claudio avoids the uppercut!
Claudio hits a NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Dustin flounders away but Claudio stalks him to a corner. Claudio digs his knee into Dustin’s head but lets off as the ref counts. Claudio runs to drop an elbow! Cover, TWO! Claudio clamps onto Dustin with a chinbar and armlock, and he grinds forearms into Dustin’s face. Fans rally as Dustin endures, and Arn coaches Dustin up again. Dustin turns and stands up, throws body shots, then runs, but into a headbutt! Claudio gut wrench suplexes Dustin! Cover, TWO!! Dustin survives, but Claudio clamps onto him for a CROSSFACE! Dustin endures again, even as Claudio pulls back!
Fans rally, Dustin reaches out, but Claudio’s wrists are right in his mouth and nose! Dustin can’t see with the knuckles in his eyes but he still reaches out forward! Rampage returns to single picture as fans continue to rally. Claudio shifts the clinch to include the arm, but Dustin is still fighting to his feet! Dustin pries the hold away to scoop Claudio for a SIDEWALK SLAM! Fans fire up as both men slowly stand! Claudio snarls, he aims at Dustin, and ROCKS him with a forearm! Dustin ROCKS Claudio back! The hands and forearms start flying faster and faster! Claudio kicks low, then EuroUppers, into a hook!
Claudio fights the backslide, spins Dustin, but Dustin LARIATS! And again! Dustin whips, Claudio reverses but Dustin holds ropes! Dustin dodges Claudio to clothesline Claudio out!

Claudio is still in this, and Arn says Dustin has him! Dustin fires up, the fans rally behind him, and Dustin stands Claudio up again. Arn says finish this! But Claudio wrenches free and whips Dustin to ropes. Things keep moving, Claudio hurdles but not high enough! Inadvertent contact down low! Claudio didn’t factor in Dustin’s height and it might cost him! Arn tells Dustin to pounce on that, and Dustin hurries to bring Claudio up.
But Claudio POP-UP UPPERCUTS! Cover, Claudio wins!!
Winner: Claudio Castagnoli, by pinfall (still ROH World Champion)
Arn is in shock! Dustin either didn’t or couldn’t bring out that killer instinct, and that cost him! How long will The Natural have to wait until he gets another golden opportunity like this? As for Claudio, who will be next to challenge him for this hard knocks world title?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage, though could’ve been a bit better. For hyping up the exclusive footage, that wasn’t much of anything. It’s almost like they didn’t need to show us that here, they could’ve used it next week in the go-home. Though this probably means there will be something even more crucial on the go-home so there won’t be any time to spare. And we did get an interesting segment from The Baddies. It seems with Stokely Hathaway more focused on his new men’s division stable, Jade doesn’t have to keep Leila around. And of course we get Jade VS Athena for All Out, and of course we got Athena attacking Jade as payback. That match is going to be great stuff, but no idea if Athena has a chance of taking that title.
We got a great Trios tournament match to open the night, and while they made a tease of who would join Silver & Reynolds, I kinda figured it’d be Vance after all the Trios matches they’ve been having on Dark and Elevation. And I had a feeling Miro would be involved to cost The House of Black, and then also that Darby & Sting would make the save. That is definitely a Trios match happening for All Out, even if it’s just the Buy-In. Good promo from Hook, as well as from Menard & Parker. I don’t think the FTW Championship match of Hook VS whoever is first makes it to All Out, but that could work for the go-home next week, or even the episodes after All Out.
Nemeth blabbed for longer than his match lasted, but of course Wardlow was winning tonight. It was fine that Sabin showed up to see Wardlow for himself before All Out, but I’m not sure how much this added to the go-home math. And apparently Hobbs was another “standby” match like with Buddy Matthews last week when Hook squashed Clayton. Hobbs’ segment added more to his All Out match than Wardlow’s did, with Starks now on the ropes while Hobbs has momentum. We also got a more meaningful segment out of the LFI/AFO, with Andrade passing the blame onto Dragon Lee while still putting pressure on Private Party. Private Party will definitely deck Andrade and turn Face.
We got great stuff out of the Mixed Tag, but of course there was the “overbooking” where Anna Jay shows up to screw Ruby over and allow SamTay to get the win. With things going a bit sideways on the Eddie VS Sammy angle, who knows how the blow-off goes from here. And we got great stuff in the main event, though I’m sure Dustin was a gassed before the end. He still had the wherewithal to change from a driver to a slam, because it was clear that wasn’t going to go well if he committed. But as great as Dustin still is, Claudio was of course going to win. There are still a lot of possibilities for Claudio in defending that title, even though we’re still on standby as far as ROH getting their own show.
My Score: 8.6/10

Backstage interview with Billie Starkz.
Lexy Nair is with her ROH Minion buddy, and notes that Billie is the first ROH woman entered in the first ever WrestleDynasty International Women’s Cup! Billie, what an opportunity, how are you feeling? She is excited! This is the second chance she’s been waiting for, and- Red Velvet steps in to say more like NO chance. Because see, Velvet is also in that match, and well, she already beat Billie. So her odds are looking really good. But then in steps Leyla Hirsch. And she says lucky for them both, because Leyla’s in this! Leyla beat Velvet once, and just looking at Billie, Leyla knows she can beat her.
Oh but then in steps the ROH Women’s World Champion, Athena! The Minion Overlord defends her bestie and Billie, and says it is finally time for the Athena World Tour! She is the fourth participant, even though, why does she have to qualify for HER show? Athena has beaten Velvet, she’s beaten “Small fry” Leyla, and well… Billie Goat, we all know Athena dog walked her! Velvet says Athena shouldn’t talk to Billie like that. Billie says “Cupcake” doesn’t need to defend her. Things are getting tense already, who wins their way into WrestleDynasty’s massive crossover match?
Backstage interview with QT Marshall.
Lexy is now with QT and says later int he Zero Hour, it is QT VS Big Boom AJ. QT took AJ out last night after the weigh-in, will it be the same here tonight? QT wants Lexy to remember, pronounce it “Mar-shall.” And yes, in QT’s home state of New Jersey, the best part will be QT remembering why he left. It’s a dump! Especially Newark! But AJ is also from New Jersey, and he properly represents this dump. Whether AJ is on the Tonight Show, on TikTok, or here in AEW, he is the epitome of someone from The Garden State: an embarrassment! He’s worse than Bruce Springsteen himself!
And tonight, in a sold out crowd that QT drew all himself, it will be like going to his high school reunion and showing how he is more successful than everyone else. And he’ll do that by walking to the ring, staring down AJ, and bringing the doom! Will QT Marshall make himself the boss of the Zero Hour? Or will it be a BOOM for all of New Jersey when QT loses?

Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy.
Lexy Nair is with Freshly Squeezed and says this past Wednesday, The Death Riders sent a clear message. How is that affecting his mindset tonight? Cassidy says yes, they sent a message. But tonight, “we” send a message back. AEW sends a message back! Private Party started it. They’re AEW Day One, and they’re the AEW World Tag Team Champions. Because AEW means everything to them, just like it does to Cassidy and to all the fans here tonight. How could Moxley possibly understand that? Because Moxley never needed AEW. Cassidy wouldn’t exist without AEW. So tonight, Cassidy shows that AEW doesn’t need Moxley!
Cassidy takes the power, the symbol of what AEW represents, and puts it in his backpack as the NEW AEW World Champion. Cassidy heads out, will he make this all become a reality?

MJF is free and he rises up, but Roddy storms over. MJF DECKS Roddy with a fast hand! MJF drags Roddy up again, suplexes, but his back won’t let him finish that! MJF runs up, now Roddy DECKS MJF! The fans fire up as Roddy slowly makes his way to MJF. Roddy drags MJF up, but MJF wrenches and he HEADBUTTS the hand again and again! MJF wrenches to suplex, but Roddy turns it around! END OF HEARTACHE!! Cover, ROPEBREAK!!! MJF survives by a literal foot! Roddy is beside himself but the fans rally up again. Roddy hobbles to ropes, MJF sits up, and Roddy runs back in! But MJF bails out!
The fans boo but Roddy pursues. Roddy drags MJF up off the ground, puts him in the ring, and he hurries to suplex again. MJF cradle counters! TWO, Roddy has the cover, TWO! Roddy swings, MJF ducks and whips, but then Roddy dodges! ENZIGIRI, torture rack, and RACK DROP! Then a fireman’s carry, for a GUTBUSTER DROP! Roddy keeps moving, SICK KICK hits!! The fans fire up and Roddy keeps on MJF! But MJF suplexes for a BRAINBUSTER! Both men are down and the fans are thunderous! The ref checks both men, they’re okay to continue, and Roddy crawls to a cover. TWO, and MJF has the FUJIWARA ARMBAR!
MJF THRASHES the arm, RODDY TAPS!! MJF WINS!!!
Winner: MJF, by submission
MJF grins, and he’ll surely play this off as another “easy dub.” But then MJF decides he isn’t done, and he grabs a chair! MJF grins as he storms back into the ring, and he threatens the ref! The ref backs off, and MJF puts the arm around Roddy’s arm! The fans boo as MJF stands on the steel! MJF runs to STOMP the chair!!! Roddy writhes, but ADAM COLE is here! Cole runs in but MJF runs away! The Undisputed Kingdom is also here, Taven & Bennett check on Roddy’s arm while Cole glares at MJF. Cole vows he will get MJF, that SOB! Kyle O’Reilly rushes out here, too, and he gets mad at Cole!
Kyle says this is what he was talking with Cole about on Wednesday! Kyle didn’t want this obsession to hurt someone else, and it has! Kyle helps Roddy away to the back, but does he have a point? Should Cole have stopped this before it began? Or will Cole make sure it ends with him and MJF?
AEW TBS Championship: Mercedes Mone VS Kris Statlander!
The CEO is still NJPW Strong Women’s Champion on top of AEW TBS Champion, but the walls might be closing in. Mone knows she has Strong Style Evolved in a few weeks, but is she taking the Galaxy’s Greatest too easy? Or will the #BornAgainKristen once again be The Face of TBS?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is really the greatest TBS Champion today!

The AEW Women’s World Champion and the Rev-Pro Undisputed British Women’s Champion are victorious together, just like they wanted! Will they toast this victory and all others tomorrow night? Or will someone look to ruin their Full Gear fun?
Rampage returns and…
Lexy Nair welcomes us back, while also welcoming us to the official Full Gear Zero Hour weigh-in. Please welcome first, QT Marshall! The fans boo as QT makes his return to AEW TV, and he shows off the “DOOM” logo on his track jacket. QT steps into the ring and now Lexy welcomes out Big Justice and Big Boom AJ! The fans cheer as the Costco Guys are here, giving out high-fives and fist bumps! QT is already annoyed but Lexy says before we get started, do either of them have something to say? QT steps up to say yes, he does! Enough with the “Boom,” first off! Tomorrow night, QT brings the doom!
QT told AJ 20 years ago that he didn’t have it. 20 years later, AJ still doesn’t have it! The fans boo but AJ just shrugs that off. AJ tells QT that QT’s been waiting those 20 years to get AJ in the ring. But AJ’s been waiting ever since QT tossed those double chunk chocolate cookies! The fans cheer that! But AJ says hold on, hold on. He’s got a special surprise for us. He wants someone real special to be at Full Gear to ring the bell when AJ rings QT’s bell and he Power-Booms QT through this ring. QT asks who. AJ says there’s only one guy that can be. They scratch their chins, and yes, it’ll be THE RIZZLER!!
QT is seething but the fans love it! QT gets to business by taking off the jacket and the sweatpants. QT steps on the scale, flexes, and we get the numbers on the tron: 229 pounds flat for QT! QT is all fired up, he’s bringing that heavyweight build. The fans fire up for AJ, “Bring the Boom! Bring the Boom!” Wait, what? 550?! AJ’s big but not THAT big. QT says this must be why he’s Big Boom AJ. Maybe he should laugh off the double chunk chocolate cookies. Big Justice steps up! And he says we all know QT rigged the scale! Right? Right? But see, that won’t matter when his dad brings that BOOM on Saturday night! Is QT ready?
QT steps up but AJ gets in QT’s way. QT takes a swing! AJ ROCKS QT first! AJ makes sure Big Justice is okay, but then QT hits the DIAMOND CUTTER! The fans boo but QT says that’s gonna be the DOOM! Will QT not care who or what Big Boom AJ brings to Full Gear? Or will he slammed on the mat for The Rizzler?
AEW takes a closer look at the AEW World Tag Team Championship Fatal 4 Way.
Malakai Black says, “Eight men, four destinies intertwined.” Anthony Bowens recaps: The Acclaimed, Kings of the Black Throne, Outrunners, and Private Party, fighting for the titles. Marq Quen says he and Zay worked SO damn hard for these titles. But The Outrunners are hard as a rock! Malakai says The House has a “trigger full of promises to deliver.” Bowens says they have everyone’s number, but The Outrunners feel they have nothing to lose! Malakai & Brody say come one, come all, for all shall perish! Zay promises he & Quen will do whatever it takes to leave Full Gear still your AEW World Tag Team Champions, and that’s a flex.
Juice Robinson VS The Butcher!
While everyone else, such as the Bang Bang Gang’s fearless leader, Jay White, gears up for Full Gear, Rock Hard Robinson is just looking to get a win. Butcher almost shoves him off the apron, will Butcher cause this Collision Cowboy to go off the rails? Or will it be Guns Up for the Reading, Pennsylvania Gold Members?
The bell rings and Juice ties up with Butcher. They’re in a deadlock and quickly go to the mat. They also quickly get back up, and Juice powers Butcher to a corner. The ref counts, they go along ropes, in a corner, then along more ropes. Butcher has Juice on the ropes but he lets off with a scuffing forearm. Juice has wild eyes to go with his wild hair, and he shoots in to headlock. Butcher powers up and out, they RAM shoulders, and Butcher doesn’t budge. Butcher eggs Juice on, but Juice grins. Juice stomps Butcher’s foot! Juice headlocks but Butcher fires body shots. Butcher powers up and out but Juice RAMS him!
Butcher rebounds to CLOBBER Juice! Things keep moving, Juice drops then hurdles, then he goes to hip toss. Butcher blocks to body shot and LARIAT! The fans fire up while Butcher stalks Juice to a corner. Butcher stands Juice up to CHOP! The fans “WOO~” and then Butcher climbs up. Butcher says count along, but then Juice sips out before he even starts! Juice trips Butcher up, then climbs, and now fans get to count! Juice rains down fists all the way to nine, then winds up, to BITE Butcher for ten! But then Butcher DUMPS Juice to the floor! Butcher storms out after Juice to RAILING BACK SUPLEX!
Juice writhes more but Butcher drags him back up. Butcher throws Juice into the apron while Rampage goes picture in picture.
Butcher LARIATS Juice against the apron, pushes him into the ring, then stalks him to another corner. Butcher runs up to LARIAT! Juice staggers and Butcher scoops him for a BACKBREAKER! Juice writhes, Butcher runs, and he drops a leg, brother! Cover, TWO! Juice stays in this but Butcher drags him up. Butcher ROCKS Juice in the back! Butcher then stands Juice up, shoves him to ropes, and ROCKS him again! Juice drops to his knees but Butcher drags him around into a chinlock. Juice endures, reaches out, ROPEBREAK! Butcher lets go to stomp away on Juice! Butcher then clamps onto Juice with a dragon sleeper!

Butcher stalks Juice to ropes, stands on Juice’s face, but the ref counts. Butcher steps away, then drags Juice up. Butcher ROCKS Juice, but Juice shakes his head. Butcher ROCKS Juice in the back again, and Juice drops to his knees as Rampage goes to break.
Rampage returns as Butcher runs up, only for Juice to BOOT him! Juice then dodges Butcher, atomic drops and roars! Juice HEADBUTTS Butcher to the corner, but Butcher snarls! Butcher runs up, into a LEG LARIAT! Juice grits his teeth and the fans fire up. Juice pumps up, takes aim, and he JABS! JABS! JABS! Juice roars, and Butcher falls for the left hand feint! DDT! Juice adds a SENTON, then covers, TWO! Butcher is tough but Juice grins. The fans rally up and Juice watches Butcher go to a corner. Juice runs up to LARIAT! Juice calls his shot, goes corner to corner, and back again, but Butcher throws him back! LARIAT!! Cover, TWO!!
The fans fire up but Butcher is furious! Butcher drags Juice up, reels him in, and hits a BIG back suplex, only for Juice to land out! Roll up, with a bridge! TWO, and Juice hurries away. Butcher rises, runs up, but Juice drop toeholds him into buckles! Juice gets moving, CANNONBALL! The fans fire up with Juice and Juice pumps up. Butcher rises, into the JAB! JAB! JAB!

Winner: Juice Robinson, by pinfall
And that’s one for Bullet Club Gold! Will Jay White look to do just as much damage to Hangman Page? Or will the Blackhat Cowboy still be number one with a bullet?
PROGRAMMING NOTE for next week!
There will be no Friday Night Rampage next week, because it will be a BACK-TO-BACK Rampage & Collision Saturday night! Make sure your DVR is ready for three hours of AEW action!
Backstage interview with Thunder Rosa.
Lexy is with La Mera Mera and brings up how next week will be an ALL LUCHA Rampage. That must be exciting. Rosa is beyond excitement! It is about time they get some lucha libre to spice up Rampage. Atlantis Jr, Hechicero, and the return of Mystico! C’mon, now! Well what about Rosa? Yes, what about Rosa? Rosa hasn’t had a true lucha match in awhile, but why not? An open challenge for any luchadora or female wrestler that wants after La Mera Mera! In steps Harley Cameron, wearing a Hologram mask, and putting on a robot voice. “Greetings. I am famed luchadora, Harley-gram, the female counterpart to Hologram.”
Rosa is trying not to laugh as “Harley-gram” officially accepts the open challenge. Rosa tells Harley-gram that she looks familiar. Like a certain someone she beat two weeks ago. Does not compute with Harley-gram. Okay, fine. Compute this: Next week, Rosa will yank her cord and shut her down! OH SHUT UP! What? Uh… Danger! Danger, Will Robinson! Danger! “Harley-gram” runs off and Rosa asks if this is really happening. Rosa sighs, but will she just have to reboot Harley back to factory settings?
Ricochet speaks.
“I have had my eyes on the International title since I debuted in AEW. And Takeshita has cost me my chance at becoming International Champion on more than one occasion. I was the last person to pin the International Champion, and I plan on doing it one more time, at Full Gear. At Full Gear, Takeshita finds out what the world already knows: That Ricochet is not from here. Ricochet is outta this world!” The King of Flight is determined to dethrone The Alpha. Will Ricochet become The One & Only International Champion?
BREAKING NEWS for the Full Gear Zero Hour!
Anna Jay lost last week in her last chance championship match, but she also rejected the offer of The Vendetta. Now Deonna Purrazzo is looking to teach Anna why that was a mistake. Will The Virtuosa make sure Anna’s never The Star of the Show? Or will she learn why Anna’s still The Queenslayer? Then, we see Dante Martin, The Beast Mortos, Komander and Buddy Matthews compete in what will surely be a fast and furious Fatal 4 Way! Who wins some big momentum, and possibly a spot in the Continental Classic?
Six Man Tag: The Conglomeration VS The Dark Order!
While Tomohiro Ishii is aiming for the ROH World Championship next Wednesday on Thanksgiving Eve, he, Mark Briscoe & Rocky Romero don’t mind building up momentum in the Trios Division. Will the Stone Pitbull, Sussex County Chicken & Azucar be rolling towards titles? Or can Evil Uno, Alex Reynolds & John Silver remind everyone that The Dark Order is good enough?
The trios sort out and Mark starts against Silver. The two shake hands, and the fans cheer on “Johnny Hungy!” Silver and Mark tie up, go around, and Silver headlocks. Mark powers up and out, but Silver runs him over! Silver flexes, runs, but Mark drops down to then arm-drag! Silver arm-drags back! Mark sweeps to cover, ONE! Silver sweeps to cover, ONE!

Rocky winds up as Uno goes to a corner, and he runs in to LARIAT! That’s one-ever! Then two-ever! Then three-ever! Rocky gives some Latino Heat, but Reynolds runs up! Rocky gives Reynolds four-ever! More Latino Heat and the fans fire up! Uno runs up, to catch Rocky for SOMETHING EVIL! Rocky flops out of the ring and Uno flexes, but Rampage goes picture in picture.
The ring count starts but Reynolds throws Rocky in. Reynolds drops an elbow, then stands on Rocky’s face. Reynolds scuffs Rocky with his sole, then bumps Rocky off buckles.

Silver ROCKS Rocky again, then puts him in the Dark Order corner for a LARIAT! Silver tags Uno then flexes on The Conglomeration. Uno taunts Ishii, then brings Rocky up. Rocky fires forearms!

Uno rolls up his sleeves while soaking up the heat from Reading. Uno clamps onto Rocky with a chinlock and he grinds Rocky down. Rocky endures and fights around while the fans rally up.

Winners: The Conglomeration, by pinfall
A great battle from these factions, but it is Strong Style that wins out! Will this happen again when Ishii goes 1v1 with The Learning Tree? Or will Chris Jericho make sure the Age of Nueve lasts forever and ever?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage here for the go-home to Full Gear, but it was definitely just a go-home. They’re even ending with the November Rain music video from last Saturday as I type this. Good promo from Ricochet to hype up his match with Takeshita, but that’s still a toss-up to me. A part of me does want Ricochet to have the International Champion so Takeshita can enter the Continental Classic and go after Okada like he was supposed to do just a month ago. It really depends on what the Don Callis Family story is going to be with Ospreay and Fletcher, as The Don Callis Family isn’t losing everything at Full Gear.
Great opening tag of Mariah & Mina VS Nyla & Harley, though I really thought that was going to be the main event. But at the same time, of course Mariah & Mina won. No tease for anything at Full Gear so maybe they’ll wait to surprise us with Toni Storm or something tomorrow. Harley becoming “Harley-gram” just to get a rematch with Rosa was hilarious stuff, as does that “All Lucha Rampage” episode they’re hyping up. But oh look, next week is back-to-back Rampage and Collision on a Saturday just to try and undercut Survivor Series. It won’t matter, I’m still watching WarGames and leaving AEW for after, but it’s nice of them to do everything on one night.
Very good filler match of Juice VS Butcher, that was a strong return to singles action for Juice. Very nice Zero Hour matches but I kinda wish they’d given us a segment on TV to set up Deonna VS Anna rather than just announcing it. Maybe there was something social media had but I’m still not someone who follows all the socials. And that Fatal 4 Way is awesome, can’t wait to see who comes out of that a winner. Good promo overall from Big Boom AJ and QT Marshall, but I’m not sure it needed to be a weigh-in. A press conference style segment would’ve been fine, or even a contract signing, but I guess they just wanted to set up QT’s “lay off the cookies” joke. QT stands tall with his cutter taking down AJ, so you can bet AJ dooms QT in the Zero Hour.
Also great Six Man Tag main event, though I don’t think I’ve ever seen a main event without entrances. Great win for Conglomeration, though, but yeah, Ishii sure ain’t winning the ROH World Championship.
My Score: 8.8/10
