Six Man Tag: Blackpool Combat Club VS The Superbad Squad!
Bad arm or not, Bryan Danielson has his AEW World Championship Ironman Match for Revolution. Now Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta look to get going towards gold of their own. Will the Maniac, Swiss Superman & Decoder be aiming for The Elite? Or will Kip Sabian lead The Butcher & The Blade on their own mission to take down Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks?
The teams sort out, Kip starts against Yuta and the fans are already fired up for “A E DUB!” Yuta and Kip circle, tie up, and fans rally behind Yuta.

Yuta, Claudio & Moxley stand tall, but will the ROH Pure Champion, ROH World Champion and former AEW World Champion find themselves fighting for the AEW World Trios Championships?
Darby Allin speaks.
“I’ve learned in this life to never hold anything too close, because one day, you’re gonna have to let it go. Samoa Joe, you got my word. I said if you beat me for that TNT Championship, I am not gonna fight for it again as long as you’re champion. But someone else has my word. Ortiz, you had my back a few weeks ago, and I’ll return the favor whenever you need it. As for what’s next for me and Sting, people wanna know.” Sting says they’re going out in a blaze of glory. Or rather, “WE’RE GONNA GO OUT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY!” Just what will this entail for the Relentless Icons?
AEW gives us a sneak-peek of Renee Paquette’s interview with Adam Cole.
Cole says that he has to be as ready as humanly possible. “And looking at this roster, I have a couple ideas of who I’d love to step into the ring with.” Renee asks for a sneak-peek of that, but Cole says not yet. That’s his secret. Watch the rest this Wednesday on Dynamite!
Ricky Starks speaks.
“It’s comical at this point, ain’t it, Chris? The Almighty Chris Jericho, every single week, has to come out and sneak attack me. First it was the bat, now it’s the damn mask. What else is it, huh? All because I beat you! Well here’s the deal. It is not about me beating you again, it is about embarrassing you. It is about making sure that I take you down several notches. And I’m gonna start with JAS, I’m gonna start with Daniel Garcia. Next week, Garcia, me and you, one-on-one. I’ve been saying all along, I am Absolute for a reason. And you’re gonna find out the hard way.” Will Starks have his revenge on the Dragonslayer?
The Impractical Jokers are here!
Brian “Q” Quinn and James “Murr” Murray are here in El Paso, and they have Floyd the Baseball Bat. Q is fired up, and guess what? They got Jericho’s bat~! Fans are torn as Murr says it’s a much smaller bat than he thought. Look at how cute and little it is. What a tiny little bat. They start a “Small Bat!” chant but Jericho frowns on commentary. Q says, “Hey, babe.” Jericho says he might have a small bat, but he has big balls! Well, they’ll take his word on that. But c’mon, they’re just playing around. They brought it back. It was just a joke. Have your small bat back. Jericho says he can have that bat back whenever he wants. He could take it back, but his friends will take it instead.
The Jericho Appreciation Society storms out on stage! Garcia, Guevara, Parker, Menard and Hager all crowd the Jokers, take the bat, and then beat them down! Menard CHOKES Murr! And then they bring out a TABLE! Parker and Guevara set the table up while Menard chokes Murr more! Jericho gives Q hockey scrum punches! Hager puts Q on the table and CLUBS him in the stomach! Then they drag Murr up, to TRIPLE POWERBOMB him through Q and the table!! That was definitely not a joke, will the JAS do the same to Ricky Starks?
Backstage interview with Dustin Rhodes.
Lexi Nair is with the Natural and says it has been a few weeks since Swerve Strickland insulted the Rhodes Family. How has this been affecting Dustin? Dustin says Swerve crossed a line. But he tells Swerve, “Listen, you can talk about me all you want. But when you mention my father’s name, or my brother’s name, or the Rhodes name in particular, you’ve crossed the line! Now here’s what’s gonna happen, Swerve. I have been doing this longer than you have been alive. For five decades, I have been through everything that you could ever possibly imagine. There is nothing you can do to me that I haven’t already been through.
“I’m not scared of you, I’m not scared of your two braindead ball sack goons. What is that on your chest? The three triangles? What does that stand for? Looks like Doritos to me, and I like Doritos, but I hate you. Listen up very, very carefully. You will NOT tarnish the Rhodes name. I am living proof, one of the last of my kind in this business. And you calling yourself a mogul, what is that? You an entertainment god? Well guess what, Swerve. God doesn’t like rejects, and neither do I. Swerve, I’m coming for your blood! Swerve, I’m coming for your soul! And I want ’em both, right now!”
But speaking of, the Mogul Affiliates step in. Dustin doesn’t sweat it, he brawls with both Parker Boudreaux and Trench! They’re big, though, and they get the advantage! They knee low, HEADBUTT Dustin, and then Trench takes the camera over so he can follow Parker as he RAMS Dustin into wood palettes! Swerve then walks in and stands over Dustin. “Next week, the Natural, Dustin Rhodes, Swerve. Happy Black History Month.” Swerve laughs and leaves Dustin behind, will Dustin even be able to make it to that match?
Ruby Soho VS Marina Shafir w/ Vickie Guerrero!
The Runaway has been fighting hard, going from the Street Fight alongside Willow Nightingale to the 1v1 match with Toni Storm. But now she has a Problem staring her down, can she solve it? Or will she end up the one with No Future?
The bell rings, fans rally for Ruby and she circles with Marina. They tie up, Marina powers Ruby to a corner, and gets right up in Ruby’s face. Ruby gets around to waistlock, fans duel between Ruby and Vickie as Marina pries free to wrench and trip Ruby. Vickie cheers Marina on while Marina stands over Ruby. Ruby SLAPS Marina, then RAMS her! Marina gets the arm again, wrenches and shifts to a headlock takeover. Ruby moves around, headscissors, and squeezes tight. Marina moves, pops free, turns Ruby over and pulls Ruby’s hair as she has the back mount. Marina shifts to a facelock, stands Ruby up, but Ruby wrenches out.
Ruby wristlocks, Marina powers through to wrench and uppercut the arm! And CLUB the arm! And uppercut it again! Marina hits an arm-drag, then storms up, but Ruby blocks a shot! Ruby CHOPS, CHOPS, and CHOPS! Ruby CHOPS Marina to a corner, fires forearms and CHOPS over and over. Marina shoves Ruby away, Ruby comes back to RAM Marina in the corner! Ruby brings Marina around, throws knees, then whips. Marina reverses, but Ruby comes back to CLOBBER her! Fans fire up while Marina sits up and Rampage goes picture in picture.
Ruby KNEES Marina back down! Ruby stares Vickie down, Vickie gets on the apron to talk trash, but Ruby says enough with that. But Marina kicks away on Ruby’s legs! Marina pump handles to EXPLODER! Cover, TWO! Ruby survives and Marina grows frustrated. Marina watches Ruby crawl, but Ruby kicks her from below. Ruby kicks Marina more, then hobbles up. Marina eggs Ruby on, so Ruby CHOPS her! Marina KICKS Ruby’s legs again and again, BOOTS her down, then waits for her to stand up in the corner. Marina fires off hard forearms high, low, and back again! Marina digs her knee in but the ref counts.
Marina lets off and backs up. Ruby gets up to roll Marina up, TWO! Marina KNEES Ruby low, has her in the corner, and throws even more knees! Marina then hits a SAYANAGI, and Vickie applauds as Marina high stack covers. TWO, and Marina is actually amused. Ruby goes to ropes, Marina digs her knee in at the rope, and pulls Ruby’s hair while talking trash. The ref reprimands and counts, but Rampage goes to break.
Rampage returns and Marina reels Ruby in, only for Ruby to turn that around on Marina into a SHOULDER CAPTURE BACK SUPLEX! Cover, TWO!! Marina survives but fans rally up as Ruby climbs the corner. Ruby reaches the top, but Marina moves before the double stomps! Marina runs in, Ruby dodges a knee and wrenches, but Marina blocks No Future! Marina goes for a Crab but Ruby SLAPS away! Ruby BOOTS Marina away, stands up, swings, but into chicken wings! READ HEADBUTT! But Ruby HEADBUTTS back! And again! And again! Marina boots but Ruby blocks to KNEE back! Fans fire up, Ruby stands Marina up, DESTINATION UNKNOWN! Cover, Ruby wins!
Winner: Ruby Soho, by pinfall
Another hard-fought win for the Runaway, but then Saraya and Toni Storm walk out. Saraya has the mic to say, “Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, baby…” Fans boo but Saraya tells them to shut up and show them some respect! Saraya congratulates Ruby on her win, and assures Ruby that they’re just here to have a “friendly chat.” But then BRITT BAKER attacks! She came outta the crowd, she’s brawling 2v1, until JAMIE HAYTER runs in! Refs rush out to stop this brawl but El Paso wants to “Let Them Fight!” Ruby just watches the brawl break down! Storm and Hayter scrap, Britt and Saraya are all over each other on the ramp! Hayter RAMS Storm into railing!
Tony Khan sends this breaking news through commentary! The Triple Threat we were meant to have is happening this Wednesday on Dynamite! Ruby Soho VS Toni Storm VS Britt Baker! Which way will the chaos in the AEW Women’s Division break?
Backstage interview with Mark Briscoe.
Lexi Nair is with Mark, who made his AEW debut a couple weeks ago against Jay Lethal. Next week on Dynamite, Mark has another match. How is he feeling? Oh he’s feeling good! He’s feeling reeeeal good! He’s been representing the baddest tag team in the history of the planet, #DemBoys, The Briscoes! And Wednesday night- Wait, Mark Sterling cuts Mark Briscoe off. Sterling says he’s a big fan of Briscoe’s, and as a lawyer, he is hoping to represent Briscoe. Sterling’s “kind of a big deal” around here. Sterling hands Briscoe his card, and Briscoe says, “Thank you but no thank you, my good sir. I will be flying solo on this excursion.
“That being said, this Wednesday-” Sterling cuts Briscoe off again, to say that he was perhaps speaking too fast. He’ll slow it down for Briscoe. “I thought, you might wanna make, money, in this business, for the first time, in your career. Or perhaps, you just wanna remain, a stupid chicken farmer.” Briscoe drops the card to grab Sterling with both hands! Sterling freaks out, but his clients, Tony Nese, Josh Woods & Ari Daivari all rush in to get him away from Briscoe. Woods gets right in Briscoe’s face, and Briscoe says, “Long time.” Woods tells Briscoe that this isn’t Sandy Fork. Watch who you put your hands on.
Sterling’s stable leaves, having issued an ultimatum. Will Mark Briscoe heed their warning? Or will he just unleash his Redneck Kung Fu on all of them?
“Jungle Boy” Jack Perry VS Ryan Nemeth!
El Paso may be a lot of desert but they’re loving that Jungle Life! Will Jack Perry prove he is more than ready to do things on his own? Or will the Hollywood Hunk show that it’s good to have Wingmen?
Nemeth is ready as JB slides into the ring, but JB dodges him at the bell! JB then SHOTGUNS Nemeth out, builds speed and DIVES! Direct hit at the ramp and fans fire up! JB drags Nemeth up, puts him in, and goes to a corner. Nemeth runs in but JB ROCKS Nemeth. JB climbs, Nemeth comes back, they brawl, and Nemeth ROCKS JB. Nemeth climbs up, JB throws haymakers and a HEADBUTT! Nemeth falls back, JB CROSSBODIES, but Nemeth rolls it and has tights! TWO, and JB stands up, into a SATELLITE DDT! Nemeth swivels the hips as he soaks up heats. JB stands, Nemeth runs in but only gets buckles! JB SUPERKICKS!
JB cravats, goes up, SLICED BREAD! Fans fire up and JB is feeling it. BLINDSIDE LARIAT! Cover, JB wins!
Winner: Jungle Boy, by pinfall
JB says he’s coming for singles gold, what title will he aim for first? But wait, Brian Cage steps out on stage to tell JB that they’re not finished! Will the Machine make sure Jungle Boy doesn’t get anywhere close to gold?
Ortiz speaks.
“Yo, Eddie. I messed up. I realize that now. I let my emotions get the best of me, and you responded by hitting me with a chair. But what you don’t realize is, you messed up. I’m not gonna let you be some type of martyr for the House of Black. I will always stand with you! But if the only way to get that through to you is by standing against you, then let’s do it.” Best friends torn apart by darkness, will Ortiz be able to bring Eddie back to the light?
Mark Henry welcomes us back to Rampage.
The World’s Strongest Man says that tonight, Orange Cassidy defends his All-Atlantic title against #TAIGASTYLE, Lee Moriarty.
Stokely Hathaway holds up his left arm in its cast and says, “We’ve had a lot of trouble lately. But that ends tonight!” Danhausen tells Stokely Hathaway and “Lee Mortuary” that they had the audacity to come into THEIR locker room, and challenge Cassidy for HIS “All-Atlantis Ocean” title! But Lee says #TAIGASTYLE is him unleashing his inner beast and claiming that All-Atlantic Championship. Henry says, “It’s TIME…! For the main event!”
Backstage interview with Hangman Page.
Renee is with The Cowboy and says, “It has been a long, battled, honestly brutal journey for you and Jon. You’ve both had injuries, you’ve pushed each other to the absolute limits, you’ve both had losses and you’ve both had wins. But now, you have lost two of the three matches.” Hangman is upset, and asks why it always has to be Renee who does these interviews. Does it make her happy to see him this pissed off? Did that last match make her happy with how it ended? Because it didn’t make him happy and he knows it didn’t make Moxley happy. Because Hangman “ate his ass alive” until the last two minutes, where Moxley got the “sneakiest pin I’ve ever seen in my life.”
And that’s how it ends between the two best in AEW? That’s the rubber match? Hangman swears to God that that is NOT the end of it. And when Renee sees Jon next, tell him that the next time Hangman sees him- Oh, well, here comes Kip & Penelope. Kip is chuckling as he says, “Ladies and gentlemen, it would appear that Hangman Adam Page has a snake in his boot over Jon Moxley. Why are you moaning? Did you see what he did to me out there? But I’m not out here moaning, am I, Hangman? I’m taking it like a man. But you, oh! Maybe you should grow up?” Hangman swipes at Kip and he hides behind Penelope!
Hangman says he’s done, he didn’t want to do this interview anyway, and he’s gonna go before he beats Kip’s ass. Kip says he could try. Kip chuckles, and says, “It’s a pleasure to see you, Renee.” The Cowboy wants after The Maniac, but will he have a Superbad time first?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!

AEW All-Atlantic Championship: Orange Cassidy w/ Danhausen VS Lee Moriarty w/ Stokely Hathaway!
The Freshly Squeezed fighting champion has kept this reign going through a sixteen-match winning streak! Will that streak continue until… whenever? Or will #TAIGASTYLE sink his teeth into some gold in El Paso?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if Moriarty can make Cassidy get serious!
The bell rings and fans rally behind Cassidy. Cassidy and Moriarty approach, and Moriarty stops Cassidy from putting his hands in his pockets! Moriarty hammerlocks an arm, takes Cassidy’s sunglasses for his own, and grins. But Cassidy reaches back to try and take the glasses back. Moriarty slaps that hand away, and again, but Cassidy drops, rolls, kips up and hammerlocks back. Fans cheer the exchange, and Cassidy takes his glasses back! Fans cheer but Moriarty spins and waistlocks. Cassidy holds onto the glasses as Moriarty SLAMS him down! Moriarty thrashes Cassidy, the glasses fly off, and Moriarty brings Cassidy up for another SLAM!
Cassidy reaches for legs but Moriarty keeps him in the waistlock. Cassidy puts his hands up, slips them through the hold, and they’re in his pockets! Fans cheer as Moriarty is confused.

Fans fire up but Moriarty rolls Cassidy to his feet. Cassidy ducks ‘n’ dodges and SHOTGUNS Moriarty down! Then he kips up! Fans fire up and Cassidy stomps around. Cassidy runs corner to corner but is put on the apron!
Moriarty swings, Cassidy blocks, and Cassidy bumps Moriarty off buckles again and again! Fans count along, Cassidy goes to TEN! Moriarty flops back and Cassidy climbs.

Danhausen walks over and asks what the heck is air guitar. Moriarty steps, puts the glasses aside, but Danhausen takes Cassidy’s sunglasses back. Moriarty wrenches Cassidy’s arm and brings him over, to SLAM the arm on the railing! Moriarty taunts fans, Stokely taunts Cassidy, but Cassidy chases Stokely off. Moriarty rushes up on Cassidy to EuroUpper him right down! Moriarty grins and jogs in place. Moriarty then refreshes the ring count to fetch Cassidy into the ring.

Winner: Orange Cassidy, by pinfall (still AEW All-Atlantic Champion)
The fightingest champion in AEW is still a champion, and The Firm still has woes! But wait, here comes Team Triple J! Or at least, Satnam Singh. The One in a Billion is imposing all on his own, but here come Lethal & Jarrett from the crowd! Jarrett drags Danhausen back, and Lethal has the Golden Globe! He CLOBBERS Cassidy with it! And then Jarrett feeds Danhausen to another GLOBE SHOT from Lethal! Trent Beretta rushes out but gets caught by Satnam! Chuck Taylor makes it into the ring, but Lethal swings! Chuck dodges, but Jarrett chicken wings him! Lethal CLOBBERS Chuck in the chest! Then Satnam feeds Trent to a GLOBE SHOT!!
Fans boo as Satnam storms into the ring and drags Cassidy up. Jarrett has his guitar! But wait! THE ACCLAIMED are here! They’re still pissed from losing on Dynamite, and they aren’t about to let their previous archenemies do what they want! Team Triple J runs away, are we going to see a sequel between them and The Acclaimed?
My Thoughts:
A really good Rampage, especially when following up such a big Dynamite. Great opening Six Man from BCC and Superbad Squad, and I figured BCC would win. The only thing is, given Hangman had that promo later in the show and Kip crashing the interview, it just seems annoying that they didn’t just have Hangman call Moxley out right after the Six Man Tag. And honestly, that would’ve been better than the order of events we got. They trimmed down Mark Henry’s interview promo to give us Renee’s interview promo with Hangman, as good as it was, so it seemed really clunky, and just unfair to Mark Henry.
The main event was still awesome stuff, though. Moriarty is great, but he just has to be patient and hope Tony Khan gives him another title shot down the line. Team Triple J going after Cassidy and Danhausen made sense, as did them beating down Best Friends with the Golden Globe. The Acclaimed making the save was a bit of a surprise, but this makes me think we’re getting a 10 Man Tag, The Acclaimed & Best Friends VS Team Triple J & The Gunns. That would be a real fun way for all these stories to overlap, and it could even lead us to the rematch of Acclaimed VS Gunns for Revolution.
Good promo from Darby and Sting, and Sting talking about a “blaze of glory,” that seems rather odd. Maybe it’s meant to be a sign that they’re going for tag titles or bust. Good promo from Ortiz to put things on Eddie Kingston, and good promo and then brawl from Dustin Rhodes with Mogul Affiliates. That line about liking Doritos felt very old school wrestling with weird tangents from stream-of-consciousness talking. Dustin VS Swerve will be good stuff, and hopefully we see Brian Pillman Jr. & Brock Anderson back Dustin up to counteract Parker & Trench. And nice little preview of Adam Cole’s interview, though I’m not sure why it was needed. We’re all gonna watch Dynamite anyway, right?
Good stuff in that Impractical Jokers promo. I should’ve figured the Jericho Appreciation Society would beat Q and Murr down, so kudos for Q and Murr going through with that. Starks calling out Garcia and getting a match out of it is a natural next step, and I would love if the Jokers helped turn the tables on the JAS. Jungle Boy beating Nemeth quick was a little bit of a surprise, but I suppose JB has reached that level where he can start squashing the lower card. But Brian Cage calling him out was a nice surprise. They’re going to have an awesome rematch, and that’ll go a long way to helping Jungle Boy in the rankings to head for a singles title on the other side of Revolution.
And though not the main event, we got some really good stuff out of Ruby VS Marina and the wild brawl that broke out after. Ruby did a good job playing up being conflicted, and as they managed to slip in there via commentary, we’re getting the Triple Threat now. As I said back when it was first scheduled but was cancelled, they shouldn’t have even bothered until now to make a Triple Threat. This is the point in the story where that makes sense, because the side Ruby takes in that match will go a long way to how the full story goes. Personally, still hoping we get the first Blood & Guts match for the women’s division.
My Score: 8.6/10
