Six Man Tag: The Conglomeration VS The Dark Order!

Chris Jericho kept whining about the $7000 for his jacket stained by orange juice, so Orange Cassidy, Mark Briscoe & Kyle O’Reilly paid him, in coins! But moving on from making a mess of a nice Bentley, Freshly Squeezed, The Sussex County Chicken & Violent Artist are looking to climb the Trios Division ranks! Will they head for those titles in the near future? Or will Evil Uno, Alex Reynolds & John Silver show #DarkOrderIsGood enough to go for gold?

Mark and Silver stir, both men rise up, and Silver fires a forearm! Silver puts Mark in a corner, grinds his forearm in, then CHOPS him! Silver bumps Mark off buckles, tags Reynolds, and Dark Order mugs Mark in the corner. The ref counts while Reynolds digs his boots in, but he lets off to tag Uno.

A big win for #DemBoys, and now Cassidy is rolling towards Dynamite and his newest grudge match with Chris Jericho. Will Cassidy leave Jericho holding the bag? Or will Jericho finally beat Orange to a pulp?

Backstage interview with Dustin Rhodes, Sammy Guevara and The Undisputed Kingdom.

Lexy Nair says Matt Taven & Mike Bennett asked for this time in order to talk with the ROH World Tag Team Champions in The Natural & The Spanish God. The floor is theirs. Bennett says hi, it’s so nice to see them somewhere not in Texas. Sammy says yeah, that’s true. Because the last time they all saw each other, it was All In, Wembley Stadium, and Team Texas beat The Kingdom’s ass. Oh, is that so? Because Taven remembers there being interference. Bennett remembers Kevin Von Erich constantly sticking his nose into their matches. Heck, ALL of Texas has been interfering in their matches! He’s surprised the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders didn’t show up!

Dustin says that would be kinda nice, actually. Taven says he’s just stick of seeing the two of them with those titles. Sammy is looking like Jim Carrey in The Mask. What was his name again? Bennett says it was Stanley Ipkiss. Yeah, Ipkiss! And then Dustin! Taven finally understands why Dustin paints his face. Taven would be ashamed, too, if he was acting like this. Dustin & Sammy have no honor! Actually, they should do this the one way they all know how! A Fight Without Honor! Because having no honor is the only tradition the Rhodes Family has- Dustin SLAPS Taven for that! Sammy holds Dustin back while Bennett helps Taven stand.

Sammy reminds them that this is DUSTIN RHODES, a living legend! Put respect on his name, because he’s earned it, unlike The Kingdom. Dustin tells Taven to never mention his family again, “you tick turd SOB!” For 36 LONG HARD YEARS, Dustin has done nothing but be honorable! He has been ripping, tearing, clawing his way through this sport, falling down 1000 times and failing his ass off, but then getting right back up and on the horse. Does Taven understand!? If Taven wants his shot at these titles, it’ll be in his home town of Springfield, Massachusetts next Saturday! And it won’t just be any match, it’ll be a BUNKHOUSE BRAWL!

Dustin is the King of the Bunkhouse! And if The Kingdom has any balls, then they’ll show up, and Dustin will rip their freakin’ eyeballs out!! The Kingdom gets their title match, but will getting the titles back cost them something in return?

Kamille VS Robyn Renegade!

Mercedes Mone’s Brickhouse has been a big help, but it is time for her to get hers. Will she start building a solid standing of her own? Or will she fail to stop this Renegade?

The bell rings and the two tie up. Kamille RAMS Robyn right to a corner, then fires off CHOPS and forearms! The ref counts, Kamille shifts to stomping a mudhole, but she stops at 4. The fans boo but Kamille brings Robyn up to whip. Robyn KICKS back, but that just annoys Kamille. She BOOTS Robyn down! Robyn flounders, Kamille drags her up, and Kamille scoops. Robyn fights free, Kamille hits buckles, then Robyn fires forearms! Robyn whips, Kamille reverses, but Robyn ducks and leaps, into Kamille’s arms! And then a BEARHUG! Robyn endures, Kamille CLUBS her and suplexes! The fans are torn as Kamille storms after Robyn.

Robyn flops out of the ring, but Kamille pursues. Kamille CLUBS Robyn, brings her up, and BEARHUGS again! The ref has a ring count going, but Kamille carries Robyn around, CLUBS her, then POSTS her! Robyn falls in a heap, but Kamille drags Robyn up. Kamille pushes Robyn in, storms after her, and runs up to SPLASH in the corner! Kamille hoists Robyn up top, climbs, but Robyn fires body shots! Robyn fires forearms, then HEADBUTTS! Kamille staggers back, Robyn CROSSBODIES! cover, ONE!! Kamille runs up but into an ELBOW! Robyn jumps on for a SLEEPER! Kamille RAMS Robyn into buckles! Kamille is free, then she scoops!

Kamille runs with Robyn, OKLAHOMA STAMPEDE! But she’s not done there! The fans are torn as Kamille drags Robyn back up. Kamille reels Robyn in, hoists her up, DOMINATE-HER!! Cover, Kamille wins!

Winner: Kamille, by pinfall

The Brickhouse just dropped “The Truth” on Robyn, and The Truth hurts! But will everyone in the Women’s Division have to face The Truth that Kamille is the new alpha around here?

Christopher Daniels speaks.

“It’s no secret that I’ve had my problems with The Elite this past year. And ever since I became Interim EVP, I’ve done my best to offset The Elite abusing their power here in AEW. But I haven’t forgotten that I’m still a professional wrestler at heart. And now, Jack Perry has this Open Challenge for the TNT Championship. And I would never ask anybody in this locker room to fight a battle that I wasn’t prepared to fight myself. So let me put it to you plainly, Jack Perry. How about tomorrow night, you VS me for the TNT Championship? And lemme give you a little advice: You better pack a lunch, cuz I’m coming to kick your ass.”

The Fallen Angel is rising to the challenge! Will he turn The Scapegoat into the sacrifice he so badly wants to be? Or will Jack Perry still be the Face of TNT?

Roderick Strong w/ The Kingdom VS BEEF w/ Anthony Henry!

The Savior of the Backbreaker has called Hook out over the FTW Championship, and Hook responded just the other night on Dynamite. That battle is coming, and Roddy is even talking trash on the way to the ring that he’ll be making an example of his opponent tonight. Will Roddy use Anthony Henry’s second-cousin-in-law to send a message to the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil?

Beef offers a handshake, Roddy refuses, and Beef remembers this is Rampage, not ROH. The bell rings and Beef circles with Roddy. They tie up, Roddy wrenches and wristlocks. Roddy slaps Beef around, lets off, and he soaks up heat in the corner. Henry coaches Beef, Beef and Roddy reset and circle. They tie up, Roddy waistlocks then headlocks. Beef powers up and out, then he runs Roddy over! The fans fire up for Beef, but Roddy kicks the leg! Roddy CHOPS and ROCKS Beef, then ROCKS him again. Beef ROCKS Roddy in return! And again, and again, and again! The fans fire up, and Beef whips, only for Roddy to reverse!

Beef cartwheels past Roddy to DROPKICK! The fans fire up with Beef, and he hopes Henry saw that. Roddy KNEES Beef low! Roddy fires forearms while Rampage goes picture in picture.

Roddy reels Beef in, but then Beef suplexes first! Roddy slips free, CLUBS Beef, then runs, into a HIP ATTACK! Beef says kiss this while Roddy tumbles out of the ring! The Kingdom check son Roddy, but Beef steps to the apron. Henry tells The Kingdom to back off, but Roddy gets up to ENZIGIRI Beef! And then APRON BACK SUPLEX! That’s a lot of Beef hitting the edge, and The Kingdom is all fired up! Henry tells them to back off, and he checks his second cousin by marriage. Roddy pushes Beef in, stomps him around, then CLUBS him. Beef staggers, Roddy CHOPS him! Beef staggers along the ropes, but Roddy CHOPS him again!

Roddy ROCKS Beef in a corner, Beef gets his guard up but Roddy pie faces him. Beef pushes Roddy, then fires haymakers! Beef kicks low, but Roddy drop toeholds to drop an elbow! Beef writhes, sits up, and Roddy CHOPS him! Roddy clamps onto a chinlock and he squeezes tight! Beef endures, fights up, and he JAWBREAKERS free! Roddy staggers back, returns, but Beef NORTHERN LIGHTS! Bridging cover, TWO! Roddy ROCKS Beef and Beef falls hard into a corner! The Kingdom cheers, Beef shakes out the stars, and Rampage goes to break.

Rampage returns and Roddy drags himself up with ropes on one end, Beef on the other. The fans rally up, Roddy storms up, but Beef ROCKS him first! And JABS! JABS! JABS! Beef keeps throwing hands, then winds up, to HAYMAKER! The fans fire up with Beef and he brings Roddy around. Underhook for the BUTTERFLY SUPLEX! Roddy goes to a corner, Beef pumps up and runs in, LARIAT in the corner! Beef whips corner to corner, then LARIATS! Beef keeps moving, BULLDOG! Cover, TWO! Roddy stays in this but the fans stay fired up for “BEEF! BEEF! BEEF!” Beef waits, CHOPS, and JABS!

Roddy goes to a corner, Beef CHOPS again! And ROCKS him again! Beef whips corner to corner, Roddy reverses, but Beef goes up and out! Beef hurries, blows through the lariat, but not the GAMANGIRI! Beef is stuck up top, Roddy goes up after him! Roddy brings Beef to the very tup, SUPER DUPER PLEX! Cover, TWO!! Beef survives and Lexington loves it! The Kingdom, however, does not. Roddy drags Beef up, reels him in, and fireman’s carries. Beef slips free, waistlocks, but Roddy bucks the O’Conner. Beef returns to SPLASH against ropes! The fans fire up, Henry even rallies, but then The Kingdom mugs Henry!

The fans boo as The Kingdom send Henry into railing! Beef still runs to CROSSBODY at the ropes! The #SloppySteak has been served, but Beef realizes what’s happening to his cousin! Beef runs up to CLOBBER The Kingdom! The fans fire up and Beef hurries back into the ring. Roddy STRONG KNEES him! Cover, Roddy wins!

Winner: Roderick Strong, by pinfall

The Kingdom used Beef’s family against him, and that is how Roddy comes away with the win. But if Roddy needed help eating up Beef, will he need all the help he can get when he and Hook battle it out?

The Righteous speak.

Ol’ Dutch says, “There’s always light after dark. You have to go through a dark place to find it, but it’s there waiting for you.” The image returns and Vincent says, “There’s a light in the AEW Tag Division. But for Vincent & Dutch, we’re that dimly lit candle that’s in the corner of the dark house. This might sound crazy to you, this might sound crazy to all of you, but the truth is, we’re all here because we’re not all there. You dig what I’m saying, man?” The Righteous sit down, and Dutch names The House of Black. Are the Righteous looking to light up The House? Or will Malakai, Brody & Buddy make sure even these two #FadeToBlack?

The Outcasts VS Allysin Kay & Marti Belle!

With Mariah May going on about her still-to-come glamorous championship celebration, and Mercedes Mone still holding onto two belts between two companies, it is anyone’s guess as to who gets their shots next. Will Saraya & Harley make sure they’re not on the outside looking in? Or will there be a Hex put on the AEW Women’s Division now that AK47 and The Voodoo Queen are here?

The teams sort out and Saraya starts against Marti. They tie up, and Marti fires off forearms! Marti puts Saraya in a corner, but Saraya bumps Marti off buckles from top to bottom! Saraya digs her boot in, stomps a mudhole, and lets off with a shout! The fans fire up, Saraya brings Marti up and ROCKS her. Saraya then backs off, distracts the ref, and that lets Harley thrash Marti around! Harley throws Marti down, Saraya sucker punches Allysin, and the ref has to hold Allysin back! Saraya gets to stomp away on Marti in that distraction, and then she bumps Marti off buckles. Tag to Harley, and she RAMS into Marti! And RAMS in again!

Harley digs her boot into Marti, then bumps Marti off buckles. Harley digs her boot in again, the ref counts, and Harley lets off. Harley runs up, Marti puts her on the apron, but Harley ROUNDHOUSES! Harley CLUBS Marti in the ropes, AX KICKS her, and then steps back in. Harley CHOKES Marti on ropes, the ref counts, but Harley lets off., Now Sararya gets cheap shots in! The fans are torn but Marti flops back. Harley tags Saraya, she tells fans to shut up, and she ROCKS Marti. Saraya whips Marti hard into railing, then she soaks up heat. The ref counts, Saraya drags Marti up and into the ring. Saraya drags Marti up and tags Harley back in.

Harley & Saraya mug Marti, and Harley digs her boot in. Harley lets off to run, roll, and come back. But Marti BOOTS Harley, ROCKS Saraya, but Harley drop toeholds! Harley grabs legs, but Marti BOOTS her away! Hot tag to AK! Allysin rallies on The Outcasts, FLAPJACK for Saraya! Allysin reels Harley in, but Saraya saves her from the Canadian Rack. Saraya then sucker punches Marti! Harley serves SOLE FOOD to Allysin, then she shrieks! Harley runs, Saraya tags, Harley SHINING WIZARDS! Harley covers but Saraya says sorry, she didn’t warn her. Saraya drags Allysin up, for the KNIGHT CAP! Cover, Outcasts win!

Winners: The Outcasts, by pinfall

Saraya smiles sweety but she’s a bit of a snake sniping her own teammate’s win. But one way or another, will these two be heading for championships? WAIT! A former champion is here in the form of Jamie Hayter! Hayter storms down to the ring, The Outcasts dare her, but then Saraya bails! Harley is all alone, and Hayter DECKS her! Saraya runs away into the night! Harley staggers back to her feet, again learning Hayter Hits Hard. Will Saraya make sure she never even gets within arm’s length of Hayter? Or is there no running from what’s coming?

BREAKING NEWS for Collision!

In The Conglomeration’s continued efforts of collaboration, they are teaming with the hit sensation, Hologram! They’re taking on an equally interesting combination of Tony Nese, Ariya Daivari and The Beast Mortos! Will Mark Briscoe, Kyle O’Reilly and the futuristic high-flyer be able to bring down The Premier Athletes and the menacing minotaur? Then, Wheeler Yuta returns one whole week after the incident at All Out. Will he be able to focus after witnessing the brutal betrayal of Blackpool Combat Club on Bryan Danielson? Or will Anthony Henry take advantage of a distraught Decoder?

Additionally, we’ll see the returning Yuka Sakazaki put herself to the test against Serena Deeb! Will The Wrestling Magical Girl show she’s at 100%? Plus, Queen Aminata and Robyn Renegade face off, both looking to rebound a bit in the rankings after recent defeats. And speaking of rebounds, Komander & Private Party were the victims of Jon Moxley and his new BCC, will they finally get their first Trios match together?

BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!

With The Don Callis Family targeting The Elite’s gold, it was only natural to make a huge Six Man Tag match! Will Ospreay, Kyle Fletcher & Konosuke Takeshita are going to face Kazuchika Okada & The Young Bucks, which side gains a major edge going into all the different title matches? Speaking The Don Callis Family…

Konosuke Takeshita w/ Don Callis VS Action Andretti w/ Lio Rush & Leila Grey!

All Out’s Continental Championship was a Fatal 4 Way, so the odds weren’t in The Alpha’s favor, but he still doesn’t like that he lost. Plus, Kazuchika Okada had to go and taunt Konosuke on Dynamite, so now he’s in a worse mood. Will Konosuke take all his anger out on Action Andretti? Or will this be a Sight to See on a Friday night?

The bell rings and the fans rally up. The two circle slowly, then tie up. Konosuke’s height gives him the advantage and he puts Action on ropes. The ref counts, Konosuke lets off but with a pie face.

Ref Aubrey Edwards reprimands, but Konosuke CHOPS Action! Konosuke hoists Action up top, climbs up after him, and the fans fire up. But Action fires body shots first!

Konosuke brings Action around to whip and BOOT! Action checks his teeth, Konosuke pushes him to a cover, TWO! Konosuke is annoyed, but he stalks Action. Konosuke uses his own wrist tape to CHOKE Action! The ref reprimands, counts, so Konosuke changes to a chinlock.

Action endures, even as Konosuke grinds him down. Konosuke shifts to have a motorcycle stretch but Action fights up. Action works to turn the hold, but Konosuke keeps it on tight. Action still fights, but Konosuke wrangles Action with a cording hold. Action keeps his shoulders up, fights around, and Rampage returns to single picture. Action fires body shots, but Konosuke CLAWS his face again! The ref reprimands, but Action blocks the Power Drive Knee! Action rises up, but Konosuke goes for the eyes again! Konosuke shoves Action, but Action BOOTS back! Action fires haymakers, bobs ‘n’ weaves, then ROCKS Konosuke!

Konosuke runs, POWER DRIVE KNEE!! Cover, but Konosuke lets Action up!? Konosuke wants to make this one hurt! Konosuke suplexes, for RAGING FIRE!! Cover, Konosuke wins!

Winner: Konosuke Takeshita, by pinfall

A message sent to everyone, but especially Okada! Will The Don Callis Family, working in chorus with Will Ospreay, be able to bring down The Elite? Or will The Rainmaker put out Konosuke’s Raging Fire before they ever go 1v1?

My Thoughts:

A very good Rampage here, maybe even great, because there was even good stuff in what should’ve been throwaway matches. I love that they gave Beef a great showing against Roderick Strong, and Beef really can do some stuff. His charisma is automatic, he’s shown character on ROH, and Henry even got fired up for Beef, a story beat that only matters to those who watch ROH, but it was still cool to see. But of course The Kingdom get involved in a roundabout way so that Roddy can win. You can bet that’ll happen when it’s Hook VS Roddy for the FTW Championship under FTW Rules, a remix of Hook VS Jericho.

Also, great promo from The Kingdom with Dustin & Sammy to set up not just an ROH World Tag Team Championship match, but a Bunkhouse Brawl! So great to have that stipulation back, the last one was during Empty Arena Era. Can’t wait to see how wild they get next Saturday. Very good promo from The Righteous, did not think they’d call out The House of Black, but if they also bring Lance Archer into this, that’s a great Six Man Tag. And great promo from Christopher Daniels to make the TNT Championship match with Jack Perry. Logically, The Bucks can now call Daniels a hypocrite for taking this Open Challenge for himself. But anyway, Jack will definitely retain, and he’ll add a big name to his list of wins.

Great Six Man Tag for The Conglomeration VS Dark Order, in which The Conglomeration of course won. That gives Cassidy momentum into his match with Jericho on Dynamite, and I suppose that’ll be some good stuff. But it feels like Jericho wins that to avenge his jacket and his Bentley, and pushes this to like Grand Slam or the Dynamite Anniversary Show. It could even be a Six Man Tag, and Bill turns on Jericho over the whole “you’re being used” line from Dynamite. Good match for Kamille that she of course would win, and that’s a great name for her finisher, because it is a phrase you can use in promos and things like my write-up.

Very good tag match from The Outcasts VS The Hex, but of course Saraya & Harley win. Speaking of Jericho’s “you’re being used” line, Saraya is of course using Harley, she let Harley take another shot from Hayter. Hayter VS Saraya is itself a Grand Slam or Anniversary Show level match, that’ll be a lot of fun. And of course, great stuff in the main event. Action got to look great, it’s been a minute since he looked this good in a singles match, but of course Konosuke won. Them making a Six Man Tag of Elite VS Don Callis Family for Dynamite is some interesting stuff. I was theorizing on Wednesday that they might already start planting seeds of Callis kicking Fletcher out of the group, and if Fletcher were to take the loss to The Elite, those seeds could be planted early.

My Score: 8.7/10

Winners: Katsuyori Shibata & Private Party, by pinfall

Five years later and it’s another shocker! Perry taunts Shibata with the TNT Championship, but The Bucks do give applause to Private Party. Will The Elite have to be much more careful if they want to keep their gold?

BREAKING NEWS for Collision!

Private Party may have won tonight, but they still need to earn their title shot! They’ll be in a Triple Threat against Top Flight’s Darius & Dante Martin and The House of Black’s Malakai Black & Buddy Murphy! The winners will be the NEW #1 contenders, who will get to live the WrestleDream against The Bucks? Plus, other rising tag teams are in action as the Grrrizzled Young Veterans take on The Outrunners! Will Zack Gibson & James Drake make everyone understand they are SSSSOON to be recognized as AEW’s top guys? Or will the Youngest Men Alive show ’em that they ain’t seen nothing yet?

Then, while Wheeler Yuta is preparing to team with Bryan Danielson against former friends in Claudio Castagnoli & Pac, he is going to have a 1v1 match with BEEF! Will Anthony Henry’s second cousin through marriage just be an appetizer before the main course on Dynamite? Darby Allin may have made an Open Challenge for WrestleDream, he has a Collision with Johnny TV! Will Darby show us all how relentless he is? Or will he find he’s just not #TVReady? If you thought last week’s Lucha Libre Triple Threat was something, this week is a Fatal 4 Way of Hologram, Komander, Action Andretti and Nick Wayne!

Plus, Willow Nightingale is targeting Mariah May and the AEW Women’s World Championship, but she takes on The Infantry’s Trish Adora first. Will The Babe with the Power use The AfroPunk as a tune-up for the title match? Lastly, while The Conglomeration is in action against The Learning Tree’s Branches here tonight, they’ll have to turn right back around to face The Premier Athletes, Tony Nese & Ariya Daivari. Will this whole weekend be Freshly Squeezed?

Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.

Renee Paquette is with The Galaxy’s Greatest and notes we haven’t seen Kris in action since her win at All Out. What does she have her sights set on next? Kris says we could all sense that Chicago Street Fight was the end of an era for her. She has been in a group, she has had a manager, and with the anniversary of Dynamite just passing, let’s bring it back to how she started in AEW: on her own. Kris is stronger, more independent, she’s like, a “Born Again Kristen.” We all saw that she is the toughest, the strongest, and- Kamille steps in. The Brickhouse asks if that’s right. Biggest? Toughest? Strongest? Her match is next.

Kamille pushes past Kris, and Mercedes Mone follows. The CEO tells Kris, “You better watch, b*tch.” Mone laughs, did she just put herself on Kris’ radar?

Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.

Renee is now with the wacky Aussie and says while she’s in a match tonight with Queen Aminata, does Harley have an update on Saraya after that vicious match with Jamie Hayter? Harley says Saraya is currently incapacitated. No further questions. But what about her match with- NO further questions! Then what about…? Oh, yes, yes, her match. She should say something on that. Harley tells Aminata, “You are in a lot of trouble. RAWR!” That’ll do, right? Sure… Harley heads out, will she take out her frustrations on Aminata tonight? Or is she going to end up “incapacitated” alongside Saraya?

Kamille w/ Mercedes Mone VS Zoey Lynn!

The Brickhouse is The CEO’s big investment, and insurance policy. Will the former NWA World Women’s Champion remind us why she is a former NWA World Women’s Champion? Or can Zoey bring her down with some Angel Dust?

The bell rings and Kamille SPEARS Zoey!! The fans boo but Mone says Kamille has arrived! Kamille drags Zoey up, dragon sleepers, and TWISTING NECKBREAKER! Cover, Kamille wins!

Winner: Kamille, by pinfall

Mone raises Kamille’s hand as they both stand over Zoey Lynn. Between The CEO and The Brickhouse, will no one stop them from taking over AEW?

Backstage interview with Anna Jay.

Renee is now with The Queenslayer, and says she had a tremendous showing in her return to AEW last week. It got a lot of people’s attention, but especially Will Ospreay. Anna says yes, Ospreay tweeted out a compliment on how great she has improved, from footwork to pacing, so she thanks Ospreay for that. He’s not too bad himself. Having one of the greatest wrestlers alive today see your hard work paying off is one of the best feelings ever. So if Ospreay sees it, then you know the AEW Women’s Division is seeing it. So if you don’t take her word for it, and if you don’t take Ospreay’s word for it, just do her a favor and try her.

Deonna Purrazzo & Taya Valkyrie speak.

The Virtuosa says, “This thing of ours operates according to a code. That those who want respect give respect.” La Wera Loca says, “It’s simple, elegant.” Deonna has shown Taya generosity, and Taya accepted it. Despite early missteps, Deonna remains committed to this thing of theirs, because Taya has earned Deonna’s respect by owning the misstep. Taya says there is much to learn for “I” to become “We.” Deonna says that is what is missing in a place like AEW. These two must teach AEW that they are all bound together by the code. Those that want respect must give respect. And those who refuse get it beaten into them!

Queen Aminata VS Harley Cameron!

The One True African Woman may have Serena Deeb in her sights, and the wacky Aussie may have Jamie Hayter on her mind, they both must focus on who is in the ring with them. Will Aminata prove to the Professor that she doesn’t need the lessons? Or can Harley show Hayter that she’s not the only one who hits hard?

The bell rings, the two circle, and Harley KNEES low! Harley headlocks, Aminata powers up and out, then waistlocks. Harley fights the lift, throws elbows, then runs. Aminata gets around to waistlock and SLAM! The fans fire up while Harley hobbles up. Aminata and Harley circle again, Harley gets around to waistlock, but Aminata wrenches out. Aminata wristlocks, brings Harley down, then steps over to twerk attack! Aminata wrenches more, but Harley kicks low! And KICKS again! And ENZIGIRIS! Aminata wobbles, Harley brings Aminata in and, uh, wait, aren’t The Iron Savages the ones who take us to Tiddy City?

Harley runs, but Aminata ROCKS her! Amianta snapmares Harley, runs, and PENALTY KICKS! The fans fire up while Aminata smiles, and she stalks Harley to a corner. Aminata runs around the world to BOOT WASH! Aminata reminds us she is the one and only, and Rampage goes picture in picture.

Aminata pushes Harley around, brings her up, but Harley bails out. Harley says timeout, but Aminata goes out after her. Aminata storms up but Harley KNEES her low, then THROWS her by her hair! Harley CHOKES Aminata on the outside, but Aminata kicks her away. The ref reprimands but Harley grins. Harley storms up on Aminata, SMACKS her off the apron, and then soaks up heat. Harley puts Aminata in the ring, continues to play coy, then storms up to HIP DROP Aminata. Cover, TWO! Harley is annoyed but Aminata fires body shots. Harley CLUBS Aminata down, then clamps on a chinlock.

Harley grinds Aminata down, but Aminata endures. Aminata fights up, fights back, but Harley knees low again! Harley bumps Aminata off buckles, stomps a mudhole in, but steps off as the ref counts. Harley bumps Aminata off more buckles, then grinds her boot in. The ref counts, Harley steps back, and she drags Aminata up. Harley brings Aminata around to throw her down by her hair! Cover, TWO! Aminata stays in this, but Rampage goes to break.

Rampage returns and Harley ELBOWS Aminata in the shoulder! And ELBOWS her again! Harley LICKS Aminata, then runs to SHINING WIZARD! Cover, TWO! Harley overcommitted on that deep leg hook, and Amianta survives for it. Harley runs in, but Aminata puts her on the apron! Harley ROUNDHOUSES, puts Aminata in ropes, and AX KICKS her down! The fans boo but Harley aims, to then run and- NO, Aminata blocks the kick to trip Harley up! Harley hits the apron hard, and Aminata brings her around. DOUBLE CHOP! The fans fire up and Aminata puts Harley in the ring. Aminata storms up but Harley fires forearms!

Aminata ROCKS Harley! And DOUBLE CHOPS! Harley falls, jumps back up, but Aminata wrenches and snap suplexes! And LARIATS! Cover, TWO!! Harley survives but Aminata stays cool. Aminata runs in again, but Harley avoids the boot wash! Harley RAMS into Aminata again and again, but the ref counts. Harley lets off, huffs ‘n’ puffs, then runs in. Aminata goes up and over, comes back, and she catches Harley’s crossbody! The fans cheer as Amianta swings, but Harley sunset flips through! High stack, TWO! Aminat ais up, she dodges Harley, and scoops again! Harley tilt-o-whirls but Aminata powers her to a BACKBREAKER!

The fans fire up, QUEEN’S CROWN!! Cover, Aminata wins!

Winner: Queen Aminata, by pinfall

The former #BrainDrain gives Aminata a great win, but then Serena Deeb attacks from behind!! The Professor is pissed, and she SLAMS Amianta’s leg on the apron! Serena grins as she grabs the leg and pulls it against ropes in a HALF CRAB! Aminata taps, but here comes Britt Baker! The Doctor is returning the favor from Wednesday, but Serena bails! The Professor got her shots on Aminata, but will the walls start closing in?

Backstage interview with The Acclaimed.

Renee is now with Max Caster, Anthony Bowens & Billy Gunn, and Caster is still sporting the remade jacket. With that, let’s talk MXM Collection. It is hard to keep track of what is going on, but Billy speaks up. He doesn’t mean to correct her, but he is “Hans!” Hans Gunn! But MXM, how stupid are you to not know it was Billy? It was Billy all along! So stupid, trying to embarrass The Best Wrestler Alive, try to embarrass The Acclaimed, with a makeover on Caster’s jacket. Y’know what? Caster likes the lace, how it makes his arms look bigger. And this heart cutout makes his muscles look popping! He looks as handsome as ever!

Bowens says that’s right! Before, they were gonna cut that thing up. But no, MXM just embarrassed themselves. Acclaimed said to nut up or shut up, and they sure shut up MXM real quick. Just like they will do if they get in the ring. Because once The Acclaimed is done with MXM, they will get the makeover of a lifetime. WHY? Because EVERYONE Loves The Acclaimed! When and where will Platinum Max & The Scissor King cut down the Sultan of Suave and the Mahogany Hunk?

BREAKING NEWS for WrestleDream!

After Konosuke Takeshita attacked Will Ospreay and Ricochet on Wednesday, it seems the only way to settle this International Championship scenario is with a TRIPLE THREAT! Will The Alpha finally have gold in AEW? Will the Aerial Assassin finally be done with The Don Callis Family? Or are they both overlooking The One & Only?

Orange Cassidy & Kyle O’Reilly VS “Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith!

The Conglomeration has been very busy this week. They were here Wednesday to confront The Learning Tree, and we now have Mark Briscoe VS Chris Jericho for the ROH World Championship at WrestleDream. But speaking of, Jericho is joining commentary to watch his guys, The Redwood & The Bad Apple. Will Freshly Squeezed & The Violent Artist prune these Branches? Or will they be made to respect Chris Jericho?

The teams sort out and Cassidy starts against Bill. The fans rally as Cassidy and Bill stare down, and Bill mocks the hands in pockets. The fans boo, but Bill says show him how it’s done then. Cassidy puts his hands near pockets, but Bill runs up! Cassidy dodges, sunset flips, but Bill stays standing. Cassidy stops trying, and Bill YANKS Cassidy up! Bill whips, Cassidy stops by holding ropes, and then Casidy bails out. Cassidy shakes his head, knowing his limits against a man as big as Bill. Bill mockingly holds the ropes open and calls to Cassidy like a puppy dog. Cassidy steps up, but then rolls into the ring.

The fans cheer as Cassidy lounges on the mat. Bill storms up but then Cassidy rolls back out of the ring. The fans cheer more while Bill gets annoyed. Bill storms out, Cassidy slides in! Bill steps back in, Cassidy ducks ‘n’ dodges and tags Kyle! Kyle runs up but Bill RAMS him! Kyle drops out of the ring and the fans cheer. Bill is annoyed as he watches Kyle & Cassidy coordinate. They go up, Bill runs up, but The Conglomeration drops back. Bill is getting mad, but The Conglomeration high-five and the fans cheer. Keith says don’t worry, Bill, just cool down. Keith and Bill talk strategy while Kyle finally returns.

Bill tags Keith and the fans rally up. Keith and Kyle circle, but Keith takes a swing on Cassidy! Cassidy avoids it, and Kyel waistlocks to then wrangle Keith. Kyle floats all over, slaps Keith around, then eggs him on. The fans cheer, but Keith frowns. Keith SLAPS Kyel! Kyle storms up, Keith bails out, and the chase is on. Bill is lurking, but Kyel dodges him! BOOT for Keith! But Bill has Kyle with the guzel! CHOKE- NO, Cassidy DROPKICKS Bill! Bill lets Kyle go but he also stays up. Bill frowns, but Kyle BOOTS him, then Kyle FLYING KNEES Keith! Cassidy DIVES and he sends Bill into railing! Kyle pushes Keith into Bill, and then KICKS!

Cassidy “kicks,” Kyle KICKS, and repeat as Rampage goes pictur ein pnicture!

The KICKS and kicks keep going, then it’s just all KICKS as Cassidy gets serious! The Conglomeration puts Keith in, DOUBLE KICK Bill, then Kyle hurries into the ring. Kyle fires knees into Keith, then tags Cassidy. They whip Keith, kitchen sink knee, and basement dropkick! Kyle runs to KNEE DROP, Cassidy runs up, to cover! TWO! Cassidy checks and yes, it was a two count, so Cassidy gives thumbs up. Cassidy brings Keith up, ROCKS him, and tags in Kyle. Kyle climbs up and rains down fists! Kyle goes all the way to TEN, then tags Cassidy back in. Cassidy climbs up, and he rains down fists! Well, just one really. Snapmare, cover, TWO!

The fans fire up with Bill and he tags back to Keith. Keith covers Cassidy, TWO! Keith rains down fists on Cassidy, Bill goes after Kyle! Bill CLUBS away on Kyle, then sends him into Keith’s KILLER KNEE! Keith reels Cassidy in, underhooks, and TIGER KNEE STRIKE!! Cover, TWO!! Cassidy survives and Keith is frustrated.

Cassidy runs, tilt-o-whirls on Bill, but Bill stops the DDT! Kyle slips in, and he dropkicks Bill’s leg! Bill drops to a knee, but he still holds Cassidy up!

Winners: Kyle O’Reilly & Orange Cassidy, by pinfall

The numbers game didn’t go how Jericho wanted, and his team is on the losing end! Will this be the same for when The Learning Tree takes on The Sussex County Chicken in Tacoma, Washington? Or will The Ocho still become The Nueve?

Meanwhile, Kyle & Cassidy only have 24 hours to rest, because they have a Collision with The Premier Athletes tomorrow night! Will Pittsburgh be Freshly Squeezed all weekend long?

My Thoughts:

A great Rampage here, which is interesting as there’s word Rampage is going to be shut down for whatever show AEW puts on Fox Sports 1. Honestly, they should’ve been trying hard the whole time with Rampage but whatever. Kamille probably had the shortest squash match in AEW yet, but it was to make a point after she and Mone got in Kris’s face. Kris’s promo was still rather Heel like, but it’s a bit surprising that she and Stokely Hathaway have just parted ways with no real pomp or circumstance. And pitting her against Kamille and Mone would be quite the way to turn her back to Face. Not that Kris’s attitude needs to change, she’d just be Face by default with those two.

Very good promo from Deonna & Taya, this maybe should’ve been given to us a bit sooner, but it also doesn’t really add much to the story. Good promo from Anna Jay, can’t wait to see what’s next for her. Good promo from Harley to segue into her match, which was a great match. Like Anna Jay, Harley is really improving, but Aminata still gets a great win. But of course Serena attacks Aminata, and then of course Britt Baker saves Aminata. I feel like we could get a tag match of Britt & Aminata VS Serena and who knows, but it’d be a great opportunity for any Heel to get on TV, maybe have someone actually take Serena up on teaching them things.

Great opening Six Man Tag tonight, definitely higher quality than what they usually put on Rampage. And it was rather surprising Shibata & Private Party took the win here, if only because they also announced that Triple Threat #1 Contenders match during it. I kinda though that news undercut what was going on in the match, regardless of who won. But given the feud between House of Black and Top Flight, I feel like Private Party wins out and they get the tag title match. As it stands, it doesn’t feel like Shibata or Private Party win the titles at WrestleDream, mostly because The Elite might cheat, but it’d be so great if Private Party finally won the big one.

And great main event here, even if this feud of Conglomeration and #JerichoVortex is going a little longer than needed. I really hope Jericho VS Briscoe for the ROH World Championship is the blowoff, and hopefully with Briscoe retaining. Not sure what that would mean for either team, but if it’s what we’ve all been hoping, i.e. Jericho mistreating Bill and Bill turning on Jericho, that’d be nice. Bill can maybe get himself going on a title story, too, using even just one win over Jericho as the springboard towards the TNT or Continental Championships.
