The American Dragon, Bryan Danielson, joins commentary to watch The Decoder go on a Rampage! Yuta may not be ROH Pure Champion anymore but he isn’t going to let that get him down. Will Yuta head after another title opportunity in time for All In? Or will he be turned into nothing but crumbs by The Butcher?

Winner: Wheeler Yuta, by submission
The Decoder does the Blackpool Combat Club proud with that one! Will he keep on growing stronger and deadlier as he continues his journey forward?
The MXM Collection speaks.
Mansoor tells the cameraman this is the part where he zooms. Mason Madden can feel that there is no zoom, cameraman. There we are. Tonight, on AEW Rampage, MXM Collection continues to runway through the AEW roster. Private Party likes to take shots, fancy themselves a couple of shooters, but Mason will have them know that MXM have been in the dungeons. Prepare to be stretched by the masters! They do like their shots, but MXM doesn’t drink, smoke or do any drugs. Their addiction is to shampoo and condition. And the only “shots” they take are beauty shots. POSE! Will MXM be too sexy for a loss in tonight’s main event?
Brian Cage VS Manny Lo!
The Machine has been building up momentum towards title opportunities between AEW and ROH. In fact, he defeated Rocky Romero just last night. Will he keep that momentum going while going on a Rampage? Or will the answer to #WhoBetta be The Highlight of the Show, Manny Lo?
The bell rings and Manny runs up, just to get run over! Manny gets up, Cage runs in but Manny BOOTS him! Cage still LARIATS! Cage wrenches, reels Manny in, and OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY! “Who betta than Cage, huh!?” Brian drags Manny up to suplex CUTTER! Cage flexes while Greenville cheers, and then Cage writes Manny off. Cage drags Manny up to then Gory Especial! Clinch and WEAPON X!! Cover, Cage wins!
Winner: Brian Cage, by pinfall
The Swolverine takes down another one, and he barely broke a sweat. Will no one stop Cage from going after gold?
Backstage interview with Kyle Fletcher & Don Callis.
Renee Paquette is with the Aussie Arrow and crooked Callis, and brings up that next Wednesday on Dynamite, Kyle will go 1v1 with MJF. Given how heated things have been between MJF and Kyle’s best friend, Will Ospreay, how persona does this feel for Kyle? Kyle says there was a reason he had to go out there and help Ospreay. He couldn’t stand by and watch what MJF was- Callis interrupts here, saying that’s so great for Kyle. There are friends, and then there’s family. And all Callis is saying is that the Don Callis Family doesn’t need to put their noses in MJF’s business. But then in steps Brian Cage!
Cage asks why Renee is interviewing these guys after what Cage just did out there. Cage beat a scrub in like 30 seconds. Kyle can just ask his guy, Callis, here. Callis already said Cage is a once in a lifetime level talent. He is the fusion of Lebron James and Bo Jackson! Movie star good looks, million dollar body! So they should be talking about Cage. Kyle asks if that’s so, but then Callis says they don’t need to talk at all, they can just go. But Kyle tells Don that if Cage wants some TV time, to prove that he’s more than just his body, Kyle is more than ready to do a warm-up. Collision, Kyle VS Cage, how’s ’bout that?
Cage says absolutely. And Kyle won’t even make it to next Wednesday. Kyle says let’s fine out. Callis says okay, let’s go. But this is what he means! Kyle doesn’t need to face someone so dangerous before facing MJF. What is this? They’re not getting paid by the match! They’re not…? But Callis may have a point. Will Kyle regret taking on The Machine so close to taking on The Wolf of Wrestling?
Nyla Rose VS Harley Cameron!
Speaking of hunting down gold, The Native Beast wants herself a taste, but All In already has title matches made. Will Nyla just have to whet her appetite with Saraya’s new little sidekick? Or will Harley prove not even Nyla can handle all this crazy?
But while she makes her entrance, Harley has the mic to say, “You’re gonna shut up, and you’re gonna listen. Because I’m very sorry to break everybody’s hearts, but Saraya will not be wrestling tonight.” Well, we didn’t think so… But Harley says Saraya is doing this out of PROTEST! She is protesting how she has been treated by AEW and by all the fans! So in honor of Saraya, Nyla is in a LOT of trouble! Really? Harley storms into the ring, and maybe she’s even crazier than we knew. The bell rings and Harley gets right up in Nyla’s face! Nyla pushes her back, but Harley fires a forearm! And another!
Harley runs, but Nyla runs her over without even trying! Nyla whips Harley to a corner, CLOBBERS her, and the fans fire up! Harley goes to a corner, Nyla runs up but Harley slips away and ROUNDHOUSES! Harley brings Nyla through ropes to AX KICK! Harley then hurries in, and she whips, but can’t even make Nyla move! Nyla TOSSES Harley out, then runs to WRECK her with a dropkick! The fans fire up, Nyla says she’ll do it! But then she fakes the dive, to slide out and slap Harley around! Nyla scoops Harley, but Harley slips free to POST Nyla! And RAM her into railing! Harley refreshes the ring count to then drag Nyla up.
Harley CLUBS Nyla, CLUBS her again, and talks more trash. Harley RAMS Nyla into the apron, then shoves her in. Harley CLUBS Nyla, KICKS her, then bumps her off buckles. The fans rally but Harley stomps a mudhole in. Harley digs her boot in, but lets off to argue with the ref while Rampage goes picture in picture.
Nyla sputters but Harley puts her on ropes to CHOKE! The ref counts, Harley thrashes around but lets off at 4. Harley then RAMS Nyla to a corner! And again! And again! Harley lets off, shoves Nyla into the corner and fires off forearms! The ref counts, Harley lets off again, then soaks up the heat. Harley digs her boots into Nyla again, lets off at 4 again, then drags Nyla up to CHOKE her again! The ref again counts, and again Harley lets off at 4. Harley stands Nyla up to dig her boots in some more, and again lets off to soak up heat. Harley goes corner to corner, but Nyla URENAGES her down! And then Nyla lines up a shot, SENTON onto knees!
Harley hurries after Nyla to THRASH her around! The ref counts, Harley lets off, then goes up a corner to soak up more heat. Harley kicks Nyla around, but that just makes Nyla mad! Nyla ROCKS Harley! And ROCKS her again! And again and again and again! Nyla whips but Harley sunset flips! Nyla stays up, to HIP DROP down! Cover, TWO! Harley escapes and then RAMS Nyla into buckles, and Rampage goes to break.
Rampage returns and Harley slaps Nyla around. But Nyla grabs Harley by the throat! Harley breaks free, fires knee after knee, then KICKS at the legs! Harley CLUBS away on Nyla, but Nyla stops that to pick Harley up! Harley still fires elbows, then runs. But Nyla stops the tilt-o-whirl to hit a BACKBREAKER! Harley hobbles around, into a scoop and SLAM! LEG DROP! The fans fire up, and Nyla ELBOWS Harley back down! Cover, TWO! Harley survives but Nyla drags her up. Harley JAWBREAKERS back! Harley runs in at the corner, SHINING- NO, Nyla catches Harley and puts her up top! Harley pushes Nyla, leaps, but into Nyla’s arms!
Nyla POWERSLAMS Harley down, and roars! The fans fire up, Harley is in the corner, and Nyla grins. Nyla runs in, but Harley avoids the cannonball! Harley SUPERKICKS! Harley runs, and SHINING WIZARDS! Cover, TWO! Nyla is still in this and Harley is frustrated! Harley runs again, tilt-o-whirl RANA! Harley keeps going, SPLASH in the corner! Harley sits Nyla down to go up and up, to swing into the BRONCO BUSTER! But Nyla just picks Harley up from there! For a BEAST BOMB!! Cover, Nyla wins!
Winner: Nyla Rose, by pinfall
Saraya said no to being here, maybe Harley could’ve used her help. Nyla rises up again, will she be right on the tail of whoever leaves Wembley Stadium a champion?
Private Party speak.
Cheesecake is their cameraman, and Isiah Kassidy makes sure he and Marq Quen are framed just right. Now, what’s good? It’s ya bois, and tonight, they are on the Rampage main event, time to celebrate the come-up. But they’ve got some newcomers in Eminem. No, wait, sorry, MXM. They’re models, they’re pretty boys, but y’know what? Zay kinda likes ’em. They feel like they have something to prove, but so does Private Party. And MXM is not gonna step into their party, take their girls, take their shots. Y’all buggin’! But guess what? Quen loves competition. So guess what? MXM Collection is officially the guests of honor tonight in a dance party. And they’ll be dancing on MXM’s faces.
Hold on, let’s pose. POSE! Okay now they feel silly. Quen & Zay head out, but will they be the ones strutting through Greenville, South Carolina tonight?
Bryan Keith w/ Chris Jericho & “Big Bill” Morrissey VS Jackson Drake!
The Bad Apple called out The Wrestler, Katsuyori Shibata, so now he’s gonna make an example of his opponent tonight. Is Keith about to crush the “Carolina Reaper?”
The bell rings and Keith steps to Drake. Keith SLAPS Drake, then CLUBS away on him! The fans boo but Keith stands Drake up. Keith CLAWS Drake’s face, tbut lets off as the ref counts. Keith storms up on Drake, CLUBS him down, and then stands Drake up to KICK him down! Bill & Jericho like what they’re seeing as Keith brings Drake up again. Keith whips Drake hard into buckles, and Drake falls back. The fans boo but Keith storms up on Drake. Keith CLUBS Drake, digs his boot in, but lets off as the ref counts 4. Drake flounders but Keith CLAWS Drake’s face again! The ref reprimands, but Keith SCRAPES Drake’s face on ropes!
Keith lets off to SMACK Drake off buckles, then he puts him in the Tree of Woe! Keith stomps away on Drake, Bill counts along to TEN! Bill is having fun as he taunts Drake, and then Keith scrapes Drake with his boots. Keith CHOKES Drake, lets off as the ref counts, and then Bill BENDS Drake back! The fans boo but the ref misses all this while he reprimands Keith. Keith dumps Drake out of the Tree, then he drags Drake around. Keith whips Drake, but Drake holds ropes! Keith runs up, but into a BOOT! Drake runs, but into a clinch and EXPLODER! Keith runs to BOOT Drake down! Keith puts Drake in a corner then climbs up the ropes.
Keith reels Drake in and BITES him! The ref reprimands, but Keith hits the DIAMOND DUST!! Cover, Keith wins!
Winner: Bryan Keith, by pinfall
The Bad Apple could probably have finished this much faster, but he wanted to show he is just as mean as he is tough! He even mocks Shibata by sitting cross-legged. Jericho & Bill celebrate with Keith, are they going to be the end of The Wrestler once and for all?
Backstage interview with Katsuyori Shibata.
Renee is with the Wrestler, and brings up next week’s match on Dynamite. Is he concerned at all about the numbers game given Jericho & Big Bill will be ringside? Does he have any updates on the conditions of Samoa Joe and Hook? Shibata types it out, and says, “I have spoken to Samoa Joe & Hook, and they both want revenge on The Learning Tree. Most likely, sooner than later.” Then speaking of revenge, the last time Shibata was in the ring with Bryan Keith, Keith damaged Shibata’s arm. Is Shibata going to be 100% going into this match?
Shibata types out that he is feeling more than 100%. The last time he saw Keith, Keith did in fact injure Shibata’s arm. So next week on Dynamite, Shibata is going to injure all of Keith. Renee says it is official. When Dynamite rolls into Winston-Salem, North Carolina, it will be Shibata VS Keith 1v1! Shibata adds that he’s been to Winston-Salem. It’s nice and he has family there. Then will the Shibata Family be cheering Katsuyori as he crushes the Bad Apple?
AEW hears from the men in Collision’s All-Star 8 Man Tag.
Matt Taven calls out FTR, saying that since day one, Cash & Dax have done nothing but avoid The Kingdom. And Mike Bennett tells Mark Briscoe that if he comes in with that Redneck Kung-Fu, Bennett’s gonna shove that karate chopping hand so far up Mark’s redneck ass- Roderick Strong shouts, “FELLAAAS!” Word of the day is “ass whooping.” Because that is what we’re gonna do to FTR, Mark Briscoe and Darby Allin. Joining them will be none other than THE BEAST MORTOS!
But Mark Briscoe says it’s 8 Man action, baby! Cash Wheeler says their road back to the AEW World Tag Team Championships started last week. Therefore, The Kingdom is merely a stepping stone for FTR. Darby Allin says this is all about building momentum to All In. And Dax Harwood says don’t even worry about Wembley yet, because tomorrow night, it will be war. #TopGuysOut!
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
On top of the All-Star 8 Man, and on top of Collision’s much earlier start time of 5 PM Eastern, 2 PM Pacific, we will see Thunder Rosa VS Taya Valkyrie! Will La Mera Mera make La Wera Loca pay for all her meddling lately? Plus, there will be a “Continental Collision” Triple Threat: Lee Moriarty VS Claudio Castagnoli VS Tomohiro Ishii, the winner will challenge Kazuchika Okada for his AEW Continental Championship! Will it be the NEW Pure Champion, #TAIGASTYLE? The ever efficient Swiss Superman? Or a blast from Okada’s past in the Stone Pitbull?
But wait! There’s more! Toni Storm is looking to tune up before she takes on Mariah May at All In, who will step into the ring with the Leading Lady? And then, in his first AEW tag team match, Hologram teams up with CMLL’s Mistico to take on The Premier Athletes, Tony Nese & Ariya Daivari! Will the luchadores be the ones whipping Nese & Daivari into shape?
The MXM Collection VS Private Party!
Mansoor & Mason had a fabulous debut for ROH at Death Before Dishonor, and they put on a fierce battle against FTR for their AEW debut. However, they’re still 1-1 through that big weekend. Will this be far more than just a rebound victory for them? Or will the Iron Chic & Mahogany Hunk feel hungover after taking “shots” from Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy?
The teams sort out and after a finger boop, Mansoor starts against Brother Zay. Mason tells Greenville from the apron, “Congratulations. You’ve got the best seat in the house!” Then he shows off the glutes! Zay and Mansoor tie up, go around, and Zay wrenches to a wristlock. Mansoor rolls, cartwheels, then slides under to trip Zay up. Mansoor steps on Zay, strikes a pose, and the fans cheer. Zay is annoyed, but he and Mansoor reset. They tie up, Mansoor wrenches again, and he wristlocks. Zay rolls, rolls, handsprings and says “SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS!” Mansoor backs up and says put that away! Take this seriously!
Zay says he is taking this seriously! They tie up, Mansoor headlocks, but Zay powers up and out. Mansoor runs Zay over! Mansoor struts, poses, and so much for serious.

Zay eggs Mason on, leads him on a cat ‘n’ mouse chase, then tags Quen. Zay dodges Mason, Quen uses Zay as a step to SHOTGUN! Mason goes to a corner, Quen sets up and Zay runs in! PARTY IN MOTION! Mansoor runs up, into a DOUBLE FLAPJACK! Private Party kips up to serve “SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS!” MXM regroups on the outside while Rampage goes picture in picture.
Private Party waits on MXM, then Quen tags Zay. Quen & Zay DOUBLE WRECKING BALL DROPKICK! They take the fight to MXM, and Zay poses with a fan’s sign that says, “SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS!” But Mason sends Quen into steps! Then he throat chops Zay! The ref reprimands but Mason puts Zay in and Mason hustles to the corner. Mason tags Mansoor in, and they haul Zay up. MXM double whips, but Zay holds ropes! Mason runs up but Zay DUMPS him out! Mansoor runs up, into a SIDE EFFECT! Zay then goes to a corner, climbs up top, but Mason BLASTS him down! Mason steps up and out to fetch Zay into the ring.

Cover, TWO! Mason is annoyed but he drags Zay up into a headlock. Tag back to Mansoor, he taunts Quen before he stomps Zay down. Mansoor drags Zay to a cover, TWO! Mansoor clamps right on with a chinbar!
Zay endures while fans rally up. That upsets Mansoor more, but Zay fights up with hands. Mansoor wrangles Zay down with authority! Zay endures, fights up again, and fires body shots. Rampage returns to sionglne picture and Zay arm-drags free! Zay runs but Mansoor catches him! Mansoor THROWS Zay back, only for Zay to slide under! Mansoor grabs a leg, but Zay rolls!

Winners: The MXM Collection, by pinfall
Mansoor & Mason know how to kill ’em with style, and that they did here tonight! They even get Aubrey Edwards to pose with them while she raises their hands. Will the MXM Collection make AEW their runway and soon add gold to the wardrobe?
My Thoughts:
A very good episode of Rampage, though they again put two squashes in when that still seems like a bit much. Keith beating up a guy was of course to build momentum into his match with Shibata, and we got a pretty fun Shibata text-to-voice promo. I feel like Joe & Hook returning on Dynamite is all but given now, and that should give us our Six Man Tag blowoff match between these factions. Brian Cage destroying a guy probably didn’t need to happen, and I’m not sure Cage VS Kyle tomorrow needs to happen, and I’m talking shoot. Callis has a kayfabe point, but clearly this is so Kyle gets momentum going into his match with MJF that he will of course lose. Not that I expected Kyle to win this Wednesday anyway, but I guess they just wanna do go-home math type booking on that.
Great opening match from Yuta VS Butcher, though that kinda bordered on filler like the squash matches. What it did help with is giving Bryan Danielson an excuse to be on commentary so that he could explain his reasoning for going Title VS Career with Swerve and then challenging Jeff Jarrett to a match. Bryan didn’t appreciate Jarrett questioning his resolve, so he’s gonna prove to Jarrett and everybody that he’s serious. Nyla VS Harley was also a pretty good match, especially for Harley. But uh, did they mean to do a “card subject to change” gag with Harley and Saraya, then forget to advertise it that way? Harley talking about Saraya not wrestling as a form of protest but like, as was advertised, she wasn’t wrestling tonight anyway.
Good promo from the eight guys in tomorrow’s All-Star 8 Man Tag, and given all the different stories going on, hard to say who takes the loss. The Acclaimed could be why FTR’s side loses so as to motivate Acclaimed VS FTR, winner gets the match at All In. And I would hope they word it that way. Because should Acclaimed lose, they can just face the winner of FTR VS Bucks at All Out because it is only 13 days later. And then in tonight’s main event, we got great stuff out of MXM VS Private Party. While they lost to FTR just last week, that just gets their first AEW loss out of the way, we can see Mason & Mansoor go on a run to build up towards some sort of tag title match in the future.
My Score: 8.7/10
