Sammy Guevara w/ Tay Melo VS Konosuke Takeshita!

The Spanish God watched Jungle Boy beat Matt Hardy on Dynamite and wasn’t particularly impressed. But that does mean Jack Perry is in the lead for the #1 contender’s race. Will Sammy catch up to JB? Or will the Future of Wrestling block his path?

The bell rings and Sammy has everyone hold on as he hands his vest off to his lovely wife, Tay. Fans chant “SAMMY SUCKS!” but Sammy just shrugs that off. Sammy and Konosuke circle, tie up, and Sammy shoots to a waistlock. Konosuke pries the hold, hooks a leg, and he elbows free. Konosuke runs, Sammy hurdles, flips and DROPKICKS! Sammy kips up smooth and takes a bow while fans boo. Sammy spins and poses, but Konosuke sits up and and snarls. Sammy kicks Konosuke around, “You’re not on my level.” Sammy pie faces Konosuke, but Konosuke makes Sammy put his hands at his side. Then DECKS him!

In a surprise twist, Jack Perry is watching backstage like Sammy was on Wednesday. He likes what just happened there. Fans fire up as Konosuke stands over Sammy then stands him up. Konosuke whips, Sammy reverses, but Konosuke ducks ‘n’ dodges to TAKESHITA LINE! And then Konosuke spins and poses to copy Sammy! Tay is furious but the fans are loving it! Darby is also watching backstage, though less anxious as he was on Wednesday. Konosuke bumps Sammy off buckles, then ROCKS him again. Fans rally, Konosuke suplexes but Sammy knees free. Sammy suplexes to hang Konosuke out to dry!

Sammy crawls, Konosuke stalks him, and fans rally up again. Konosuke hoists Sammy up to the top rope, then climbs up behind him. Fans fire up but Sammy fights, and he claws Konosuke’s eyes! Konosuke sits on the top rope, Sammy pushes him into the Tree of Woe!

Sammy hurries to run side to side, TREE STOMP! Fans boo but Sammy soaks up the heat as Rampage goes picture in picture.

Sammy paces while Konosuke stirs. Sammy stands on Konosuke at the ropes but lets off as the ref reprimands. Sammy soaks up more heat, brings Konosuke back up, and he snap suplexes! Cover, TWO! Sammy keeps on Konosuke with stomps. Sammy drags Konosuke up to throw him out and Konosuke staggers to the barrier. Sammy distracts the ref so that Tay can sucker punch Konosuke! And again!

Winner: Sammy Guevara, by pinfall

Darby sarcastically applauds but JB shakes his head. The Brazilian Goddess had to help the Spanish God win this one, but will Sammy still find his way to Double or Nothing?

It’s an all-new episode of QTV.

QT Marshall wishes the team a belated Powerhouse Hobbs Day. And Hobbs successfully retained the TNT title against Penta, even with “a fan” running in the ring. That’s QT mocking Rey Fenix, as footage Harley recorded reminds us that Fenix made the save before QT, Solo & Hobbs could put a beating down on Alex Abrahantes. So who is next for Hobbs? Start up the rumor mill. Harley has some DMs. They should make it Alex Abrahantes! QT remembers buying a computer from him. Solo says that’s a little cringe. Inspiration strikes Harley and she says it should be Bow Wow! Okay, moving on…

Did everyone see QT’s new finisher? As debuted on AEW Dark, QT hits a suplex to powerbomb, the “Dirt Sheet Driver.” He stole it from Kobashi. The sausage? No, Solo! The Japanese legend! A true pillar of pro-wrestling! And because it’s from Japan, the marks already love it! HAHA! Inspiration strikes Harley again, and she suggests QT should hit it four times in a row! Solo adds that QT can call it the “Dirt Sheet Symphony.” They mock Wardlow conducting the fans and they sing “Q~ T~!” Will all this joking and trolling only bring about the wrath of Wardlow?

Backstage interview with Matt Hardy & Ethan Page.

Lexi Nair is with members of The Firm and notes that after months and months of ups and downs, it looks like it all comes to a head next Wednesday as Ethan Page faces Hook 1v1. Hardy is holding up the contract for the match, and Ethan says, “Finally. You go the paperwork done, Matt?” “I got it right here.” “It’s official?” “It sure is. It is absolutely official. Right here, Ethan Page VS Hook. The match, the contract. I personally oversaw every single bit of wording in this contract, it is set.” Good, because Ethan doesn’t know how this work. Stokely being away, it is great to see Hardy handling this for them. He is literally the man.

Hardy knows they had miscommunication on Dynamite, but Ethan doesn’t have to worry. They are best friends, they are always gonna be best friends. He has a pen, and he says Hook signed his part. Hardy’s got Ethan’s back, so Ethan uses Hardy’s back to sign on the dotted line. Hardy winks at the camera, and Ethan tells Hook he’ll see him in New York. Hardy says that’s right! Hook belongs to Ethan! But what was that little wink about?

Best Friends VS The Kings of the Black Throne w/ Julia Hart!

Trent Beretta & Chuck Taylor are back and ready to pick up where they left off. Will that mean conquering two of the meanest men in AEW? Or will they just be sent back into the darkness?

The teams sort out and Trent starts against Malakai. The two circle, feel things out, and tie up. Malakai waistlocks, drags Trent down, but Trent slips free to facelock.

Cover, Trent breaks it! Brody TOSSES Trent back out then pursues!

Brody RAMS Trent into barriers! Fans fire up while Malakai does the same to Chuck on the other side. Brody stands Trent up to DECK him, and Rampage goes picture in picture.

Malakai drags Chuck up, Brody does the same with Trent, and Brody TOSSES Trent into barriers while Malakai CLUBS Chuck down. Malakai stands Chuck back up while Brody stands on Trent! Malakai BOOTS Chuck, and Brody puts Chuck in the ring. Brody stands Chuck up to CHOP him to a corner. Chuck falls over, Brody digs his boots in. The ref counts, Brody lets off, and he drags Chuck up to CHOP him again. Brody puts Chuck in the corner, tags Malakai, and they mug Chuck. Malakai snapmares to basement dropkick! Cover, TWO! Malakai keeps cool and he brings Chuck back up.

Trent dodges Malakai, BLASTS Brody, then fires off on Malakai! Brody storms in but Trent BOOTS him! Malakai goes after Trent but Trent forearms and ROLLING ELBOWS! Brody gets in, puts Trent in a corner, but Trent dodges the splash! Trent deflects Malakai’s boot to GERMAN SUPLEX! Brody fireman’s carries but Trent fights free to TORNADO DDT! Fans fire up as Brody flops out of the ring, and Trent builds speed! Trent FLIES, direct hit at ringside!

Fans fire up more as Trent climbs. Trent leaps at Malakai, MISSILE DROPKICK! Cover, TWO! Fans rally while Trent snarls. Julia isn’t happy, either, as Trent tags Chuck. Best Friends coordinate but Malakai fights the lift to KNEE Trent down! Chuck leaps, but into a waistlock! Chuck elbows free, Trent half nelsons, SOLE FOOD HALF ‘N’ HALF! Fans fire up, and Best Friends hug! You GOT to give the people what they want! But then Brody CLOBBERS Chuck! Trent CHOPS, Brody CHOPS Trent off his feet! Brody CLUBS Trent, runs, but Trent dumps him out! Fans fire up as Trent builds speed again, to DIVE, into Brody’s hands! APRON CHOKE SLAM!!

Fans hoot and bark as Brody gets a chair! The ref tells Brody now, but Chuck snatches the chair! Chuck kicks low, ROCKS Brody, but Brody ROCKS Chuck! Brody brings Chuck around, POWERBOMB through the timekeeper’s table!! So Trent SMACKS Brody with the chair!! The irony is that no one can ring the bell now! But then Malakai BOOTS the chair into Trent’s face! The ref wants this to stop, the timekeeper finds the bell in the wreckage and rings it!

Winners: The Kings of the Black Throne, by disqualification

Malakai wonders what that’s about, but then just smiles. Malakai rains down fists on Chuck, then he and Brody drags Chuck up. They put Chuck in the ring, circle him like sharks with blood in the water, and the ref says they should stop, this is over! But here comes Orange Cassidy! Freshly Squeezed is gonna save his Best Friends like they did him! WAIT! Buddy Matthews rushes him on stage! Cassidy dodges the knee to ORANGE- NO, the belt was a shield! V-TRIGGER! Buddy drags Cassidy up and TOSSES him down the ramp! And Malakai continues with Brody, they drag Chuck up for DANTE’S INFERNO!!

Fans are going wild as the House of Black stands tall over Best Friends. Malakai then stands over Cassidy and tells him, “I know exactly how people like you think. And it takes something as simple as that to make you come out like I thought you would.” Buddy mockingly pats Cassidy on the head, then the House of Black take their leave. Will Best Friends not only fail to take the trios titles, but fail to keep the International title from Malakai and his brethren?

AEW looks closer at the grudge between Swerve Strickland and Keith Lee.

The Mogul Affiliates leader says, “The thing I pride myself on is the fact that my words have weight to it. My meaning, my purpose, has consequence too it. Same with you, Keith. That’s honestly what I respect about you and admire the most. There is a danger about you.” The Limitless One says that Swerve is upset that Keith took out Trench. Swerve is upset that Keith took out Parker Boudreaux. “And yet somehow, you’re proud that you took me out?” Swerve watched Keith be so triumphant in his career, and then he watched him be thrown out like trash.

Keith warns Swerve that just because Keith looks benevolent doesn’t mean he doesn’t know who Swerve is. It doesn’t mean he doesn’t know what he has to do to stop Swerve. Swerve says he will “cherish the day” he gets rid of Keith for good. Keith says Swerve presents himself as this mogul. “If I put you six feet deep, will that just make you an underground rebel?” Swerve says he has everybody, everything, an entire army assembled to take Keith out for good. Swerve promises us, his words have weight to them. Will all that weight come crashing down on Keith? Or will it come crashing down back on Swerve’s house?

Taya Valkyrie VS Marina Shafir!

La Wera Loca is gunning for Jade Cargill’s undefeated streak and TBS Championship, but right now, she isn’t worried about #ThatBitch and her flimsy lawsuits. Will Taya be able to solve The Problem here in just her third AEW match?

The bell rings and fans rally up. Taya and Marina tie up, are in a deadlock, but Taya gets around to a waistlock. Marina pries at the arms, wrenches out and drop toeholds Taya to get the legs. Taya kicks her away but Marina cartwheels and returns. Taya trips Marina and goes for a leg, but Marina kicks her away. Fans applaud after that exchange and the two reset. Marina and Taya feel things out, but here come The Baddies. Sterling has the paperwork from Wednesday, but Taya focuses on the wristlock Marina puts on. Taya swings but Marina kicks her first. Marina wrenches but Taya rolls, only for Marina to power her over!

Marina floats and has as half straitjacket. Taya fights up, but Marina ripcords, only for Taya to arm-drag! Taya dodges the knee, mule kicks the knees in return, and LARIATS! Cover, TWO! Taya brings Marina up but Marina breaks free to CHOP and CHOP and KICK and KICK! Marina kicks the legs out and Taya falls over. Marina gets as leg, brings Taya around and wraps her up in a body scissor. Taya fights but Marina makes it a cover, ONE! The two fight for control, Taya CHOPS and CHOPS and Marina backs off. Marina storms up, Taya swats the knee to KNEE and DECK Marina! Fans fire up with Taya as she brings Marina up!

Taya chicken wings, lifts Marina, ROAD TO VALHALLA! Jade is furious but Taya wins!

Winner: Taya Valkyrie, by pinfall

Jade has the music cut so she can talk. “Mark, handle this.” Sterling says he’ll handle it! By making his processor, Tootie Lynn, handle it! Tootie takes the document, storms down to the ring, and Sterling says Taya’s messed up for the last time! That is a court order Tootie has! Jade is SUING Taya! “You’ve been served!” Taya takes the paper, pretends to be scared, but then just throws that aside to chicken wing Tootie! If she’s already in trouble, then she’ll just hit the ROAD TO VALHALLA again! Jade loses her cool! Jade runs down the ramp but both Leila and Sterling stop her! Fans want to “Let them fight!” but Sterling says that’s not best for business.

Taya grins and Jade frowns, but only one can be the alpha female! Will it all come down to who hits the chicken wing facebuster first?

Backstage interview with Anna Jay.

Lexi is with the Queenslayer, the Star of the Show, and asks her about the vicious attack on Julia Hart. Why did she do it? Anna says she was watching JAS VS The House of Black VS The Elite, and, well, Julia just pisses Anna off! Anna almost died in that street fight, TayJay VS Ruby & Willow. “Does anyone know how painful dislocated ribs are?” But what Anna realized was that pain doesn’t bother her, because she’s got a phat ass and a bad attitude! House of Black claims to like pain, so Anna is gonna test that “spooky b*tch,” and choke her out! ANNA’S GONNA CHOKE YOU OUT!! Anna scares Lexi off, but will Julia be the one scaring Anna?

The REAL Ricky Starks! Starks chases Juice all around the ring then back up the ramp! Will Starks catch Juice by the time AEW is in Long Island?

My Thoughts:

A really good Rampage, with a lot of story progression here. Sammy VS Konosuke was a great match, building the story of the Young Pillars chasing after that #1 contender spot. But with Sammy being Heel cuz of JAS and Tay helping him win, and MJF being THE Heel, pretty sure JB or Darby will win out on this build. Solo saying Alex VS Hobbs is cringe, QTV continues to border on cringe. But I did appreciate Harley mentioning Bow Wow. What happened to Bow Wow messing with Jade? Very early 2000s WWE move to have a storyline start but not see it through. And really good promo from Hardy and Ethan, and that wink totally foreshadows that there is fine print where if Ethan loses, Hardy and Private Party are free of The Firm, to finish the one true long term booking story in AEW.

Great match from Best Friends VS House of Black, a bit confusing DQ finish there but I’m pretty sure Trent hitting Brody was the thing, not Malakai booting Trent. Cassidy and Buddy had a great appearance, and we’re def getting a trios title match of those two factions. A little surprised House of Black pivoted away from JAS so soon, but this could just be a minor detour before a much bigger House of Black VS JAS feud. Which is further implied by Anna calling out Julia. Anna and Julia both need something to do other than just being in the factions, so this will be a really good feud here on the side of the Trios title scene.

Good vignette from Keith and Swerve, but this match just needs to happen already. However it goes, like Swerve having new faction members, it just needs to happen. And good stuff from the Taya VS Jade build, though it was also pretty copy-paste from before. Taya wins, though her match with Marina was a better match than the others, and then Taya makes one of Jade’s many minions look foolish. Just like with Keith VS Swerve, Jade VS Taya should happen already. Or, they should’ve found a way to wait so that this would all be closer to Double or Nothing in May. As great as AEW’s action is, they don’t pace stories well for only having half the PPVs other companies have.

And really good stuff from the main event, though I’m disappointed that Juice’s video promo was the exact same one from Wednesday, and that we got nothing out of Action so that we can see how Action does on the mic. Juice constantly calling Action “Ricky” was great, and of course Juice wins. Starks running Juice off after was also expected, but it was a logical move. Starks VS Juice on Dynamite is going to be good stuff, but it also needs to be the blowoff of this so that Starks can do better things. Honestly, while AEW is trying to make Wardlow VS Hobbs work, Starks needs to be Hobbs’ next real challenge because of their history.

My Score: 8.5/10
