IMPRACTICAL JOKERS TRASHED, BLACKPOOL COMBAT CLUB IN ACTION, MARK BRISCOE & MORE: AEW RAMPAGE REPORT

It is Friday and AEW Rampage was recorded after Dynamite, Wednesday night from the El Paso County Coliseum in El Paso Texas. Our commentary team is Excalibur, Jim Ross, Tony Schiavone, and Chris Jericho. 

Kip Sabian, Butcher, and Blade vs The Blackpool Combat Club (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, and Wheeler Yuta)

Yuta and Sabian start off the match by locking up collar and elbow and Sabian backs Yuta into the corner. They move to waistlocks until Yuta locks on an octopus stretch. Yuta uses it to bring Sabian down for a pin and a two count. Yuta is able to tag in Claudio as they run the ropes. Yuta leaves the ring and Sabian goes to leap onto him but decides not to.  Sabian turns around to get hoisted up by Claudio, who slams him down.

Butcher tags in and they lock up and run the ropes. They both try shoulder tackles, but neither goes down. Mox gets tagged in and he goes after the Butcher with kicks. Yuta is tagged in and he goes to work with chops. Butcher whips Yuta into the turnbuckle and gives Yuta a back body drop when he comes out of the corner. Butcher then hits a diving crossbody. Sabian is tagged in and Sabian tries for a backdrop stunner. Yuta blocks the first attempt, but Sabian gets the second, leaving Yuta on the mat in the wrong corner.

Sabian taunts the BCC and then tags in Blade. Butcher and Blade work over Yuta and then Butcher tags in and goes to work on Yuta. Sabian’s team keeps Yuta away from his corner with quick tags. 

Yuta is able to get away and tags in Mox, who works over Sabian in the corners. Mox is able to lock in a double wrist lock and hits the hammer and anvil elbows. Sabian escapes, they run the ropes and Sabian gets a high knee, knocking Moxley into Sabian’s corner. Mox tries fighting his way out, but Butcher and Black knock down Mox and pull him, crotch first, into the ring post. They move to attacking Mox on the floor as we go to picture in picture.

When we return to full screen, Sabian has Mox on the top turnbuckle and they fight until Sabian tries for the Hurrancanrana, but Mox instead uses it to power bomb Sabian from the top. Butcher is able to tag in first and Mox hits a haymaker lariat on Butcher. Claudio is tagged in, and Blade tags in as well, so Claudio whips him into the corners until Penelope Ford gets on the apron to get an arm in front of Blade. 

This allows Blade to turn the tables. He only gets two times to whip Claudio before Claudio reverses it and hits a series of uppercuts followed by a short arm lariat. Claudio tries to start the giant swing, but Sabian leaps on his back to stop it. Blade rolls out of the ring and Claudio drops Sabian into the giant swing instead. When he releases Sabian, Blade gets a surprise rollup and a two count. Claudio is able to put Blade in a sharp shooter, and Butcher breaks it up.

Time for the tag team siren to go off and everyone gets an attack. After that, Claudio gets a fireman’s carry takeover on Blade into a pin, broken up by Sabian. Yuta gets on the top and Claudio tosses him at Butcher. Sabian gets a shoulder thrust on Claudio from the apron, but when he leaps into the ring, Mox is able to grab him and hit the cutter.  Claudio gets the pop up uppercut for the pin and the win.

Shafir whips Ruby into the corner and Ruby comes out with a clothesline. As Shafir tries to get up, Ruby kicks her in the chest.

Vickie Guerrero, who came to the ring with Shafir, gets on the apron. This distracts Ruby so that Shafir can get a series of kicks, followed by a pump handle rear suplex and a two count. This allows us to go to picture in picture.

When we return to full screen, Shafir has Ruby on the mat in an arm bar. Runny works to her feet and Shafir whips her into the corner. Ruby puts the brakes on and grabs Shafir in a leg scissors when she charges in and uses that to slam Shafir’s head into the middle turnbuckle.

Ruby goes for No Future, but Shafir blocks it. Ruby then gets a series of head butts followed by Destination Unknown for the pin and the win. 

Winner: Ruby Soho

This was, by far, Marina Shafir’s best match. She brought the toughness of MMA into a Pro Wrestling match for the first time that I have seen.  Nice improvement over the last few months.

Lee starts by grabbing Cassidy’s hands before they go in the pockets and putting on an arm bar. He then takes off Cassidy’s sunglasses and puts them on.

Cassidy is finally able to get his hands in his pockets to break the waistlock and walks away. Cassidy is able to avoid a series of stomps from Lee, and then hits him with the soft kicks. He then gets to his feet and hits a drop kick, all with his hands in his pockets. Cassidy charges into Lee in the corner, and after he goes up and over, he slams Lee’s head into the turnbuckles 10 times. Cassidy goes to the top for a cross body, but he misses.

Lee is able to get a kick on Cassidy and then they trade wrist locks.

Cassidy locks on a sleeper, but Lee works his way free and slams Cassidy. He tries to put on the Motor City Stretch. When he can't get it on, he beats down Cassidy and tosses him to the outside. 

Stokely Cassidy stalks Cassidy, but Danhausen Curses him. When Danhausen tries the low blow punch, Stokely blocks it with the cast he has on (due to Hook attacking him on Dynamite)
