Looks like the mini-van is safe tonight. Super spot fest that was lots of action but no story. I should start calling these cotton candy matches because they are fun, but have no substance at all. And Trent gets the win as the returning hero.
It's now time for Dan Lambert's return. He's out with Scorpio Sky and Ethan Page, the Men of the Year. He says that he is making sure that his guys don't get screwed out of what thy deserve by Tony Khan. He then runs down Khan. He says Khan is giving title shots to his friends and turning the company into WCW. He then starts running down Cody Rhodes, which if you are going to make Cody a babyface, having Lambert go after him is a good shot at doing it.
It's time for Cody's Elaborate Entrance!
Cody isn't in a suit either, he's in a black muscle shirt and workout pants. Cody enters the ring to his own series of boos. He grabs the mic from Lambert and Lambert grabs it back. Cody grabs it again and after a pause, they keep this up a few more times. The en fo the year start beating down Cody. Dustin comes to the ring to even the odds, but eventually, they are able to get the advantage on him.
Sammy Guevara comes to the ring and takes out the Men of the Year with a HIGH springboard cutter, driving them off.
Sammy holds his title belt high.
We get a video package of the matches left in the TBS title tournament.

Tay is the only one who gets an intro and she goes right after ford. Tay goes for a single leg crab, but Ford drags her to the ropes where Bunny grabs her hand to put it on the rope.

Tay locks in a triangle choke with her legs, but Ford breaks free and puts on a bow and arrow stretch. Tay fights out and locks on a submission by locking Ford's shoulders with her legs.
Bunny distracts the ref, and the hold is broken and they go to the top. Ford is able to grab aold for a backpack sleeper.

Daniel Garcia, 2.0, and the Acclaimed vs Eddie Kingston, The Lucha Brothers, Santana and Ortiz.
Less than 15 minutes for this match, so I expect fast paced spot fest with extra shenanigans. Tony Khan has said that Rampage is the Wrestling show, but tonight has been lots of acrobatics at high speed.
