AEW RAMPAGE REPORT

It is Friday and Rampage was recorded after AEW Dynamite at the Wintrust Arena in Chicago, IL. Our commentary team is Excalbur, Tony Schiavone, and Chris Jericho.

Will Ospreay & Kyle Fletcher & Jeff Cobb & Swerve Strickland vs Rocky Romero & YOH & The Best Friends (Chuck Taylor and Trent Beretta)

They all brawl as we start the show and before the bell. Everyone goes to the floor but Ospreay and YOH, and when they go to the corner, Ospreay rains down blows on YOH and then gyrates on his face. They move to run the ropes, YOH gets a drop toe hold, followed by a drop kick and then gyrates to mock Ospreay. Chuck and Swerve tag in and run the ropes, with Chuck getting a crucifix pin for two. 

Chuck gets a drop kick and then tags in Trent. They double-team Swerve, who hits a chop into Trent's throat so that he can tag in Kyle. They trade chops and Kyle gets a back body drop. Kyle tries for a sheer drop brainbuster, but Trent escapes and hits a half and half suplex. Kyle slams Trent. As Kyle comes off the ropes, Trent and Rocky give him a leaping knee.  Rocky goes to the top for a drop kick as Kyle is dropped on the top, and Trent follows with a sliding clothesline. They then clear the ring to set for the hug, but Swerve’s team sweeps the legs of everyone but YOH, who Swerve hits with a flatliner.

Rocky is brought into the ring to be worked over with quick tags and we go to picture in picture.

When we return to full screen, Rocky is able to break away from Swerve for the hot tag to YOH. Ospreay tags in as well. YOH fires in elbows, but Ospreay gets a chop to knock YOH into the ropes and then hits a leaping corkscrew kick. Ospreay uses the top rope for a springboard, but misses, and they run the ropes with YOH getting a clothesline followed by a suplex with a bridge for two.  At this point the tag team siren goes off and it’s everyone in the ring to fight. The CHAOS team works over Ospreay and this time is able to give the people what they want with a group hug. 

YOH gets a super kick and then slams Ospreay down for two, and Swerve breaks it up with a flying kick. Ospreay’s team worked over YOH and Ospreay gets a pin for two. Ospreay gets the running elbow and covers YOH for the pin and the win.

Winners: Will Ospreay & Kyle Fletcher & Jeff Cobb & Swerve Strickland

We get a promo from Toni Storm about how she will beat Willow Nightingale at Forbidden Door. 

Adam Cole comes to the ring, before he can finish his entrance, MJF is out on the stage. He thanks Adam for giving him the confidence to accept the match with Tanahashi. MJF says he will do him a solid, he got him a match at Forbidden Door against Filthy Tom Lawler. Lawler and Roy Isaacs beat down Cole.  MJF takes his time to come to the ring to save him., talking all the way down to the ring, and once he gets to the ring, Lawler and Isaacs take off.

The Acclaimed and Billy Gunn vs Three Unknown Guys Already In The Ring

The Unknowns are knocked out of the ring before the bell, and one takes the Scissor Me Timbers, the Mic Drop and the Arrival and Bowens covers for the pin and the win.

Winners: The Acclaimed and Billy Gun

Harley Cameron, who is with the QTV crew, comes out with two masked men. She says she is a great journalist and a musician as she comes to the ring. Bill Gunn points out the crowd is asking her politely to be quiet.  OK, they aren’t all that polite. She asks to team with The Acclaimed to make a hit that will go to number one. She starts to sing, poorly, and Gunn tells her to stop. Gunn says they already do their own thing. 

The two masked men get in the ring to rap with her. OK, she also sings. The masked men dance. The crowd boos. The segment lasts forever. Bowens finally ends it, and since Harley says he is into her, Bowens reminds her he’s gay.

QT and Aaron Solo come out and distract as Johnny TV (The former John Morrison) lays out Gunn with a superkick, and then QT and Solo take out The Acclaimed.  Harley then says that Gunn can suck it.

We then get a video from Prine Nana and Swerve about he will take out Hiroshi Tanahashi on Collision. 

Skye Blue vs Anna Jay  w/Daddy Magic and Cool Hand Ang in an Owen Hart Tournament match

They aren’t using Angelo Parker and Matt Menard’s names anymore, I guess. 

They lock up collar and elbow and Anna forces Skye to the corner. After piefacing Skye in the corner, Anna rolls out of the ring and Skye chases her. Anna gets in the ring and when Skye follows, Anna lays in the boots. Anna gets a hip attack, but Skye gets a jawbreaker. 

Skye gets a snap mare and a hip attack of her own. Skye gets a drop kick, and charges Anna. Anna dodges and knocks Skye to the outside over the top rope. Anna hits a DDT on the floor. Skye is rolled back in the ring and Anna slams her head into the mat. Anna then works over Skye in the corner and against the ropes as we go picture in picture. 

When we return to full screen, Anna covers Skye for two. Anna and Skye throw hands in the middle of the ring. Skye gets a knee strike, a snap mare and a kick to Anna’s head. They go to the corner where Skye gets on the apron, and Ang in on the apron.  Skye catches him and he says he just wants to shake her hand. She knocks him to the floor and Anna grabs Skye from behind with a Queenslayer. Skye breaks free and goes to the top with a guillotine. 

Skye hits a flying cross body for two. Skye gets a full nelson, but Anna breaks free and hits a back cracker for two. Anna sets Skye for the reverse Glam Slam for two. Anna locks on the Queenslayer, and Skye rolls forward, knocking Anna into the turnbuckle. Skye gets a superkick, followed by the Code Blue for the pin and the win.

DOUKI vs Jungle Boy

The announcers say that Hook is nowhere to be found today. 

They lock up and JB gets a side headlock until DOUKI shoos him off into the ropes, and JB gets a shoulder tackle. They move to a series of arm drags and JB gets the advantage. DOUKI dodges a charge from JB and hits a Tope, and they start fighting on the floor and we go to picture in picture.

When we return to full screen, JB has been doing things a bit out of character for him like pulling DOUKI down by his hair. DOUKI gets a double stomp on JB. He then pulls JB onto his back for a reverse sit down slam and a backslide for two. JB gets a pump handle back breaker and then a Tiger Driver for two. 

They go to the floor and JB spears the timekeeper's table. He tries to set DOUKI on the table, but DOUKI escapes and hits an insigiri where JB lands on the table. JB gets off the table and DOUKI leaps from the top for a senton through the table. They go to the ring, and JB is able to kick DOUKI as he comes into the ring and follows with a clothesline. DOUKI is able to reverse JB’s next move into a brain buster and covers for two. 

JB elbows out of DOUKI's hold and DOUKI gets a springboard DDT from the apron for two. DOUKI pulls JB up for a wheelbarrow slam, but JB switches it to a rollup for two. JB gets a super kick and a poisonrana, an elbow strike…and the crowd is booing JB. JB then locks in the skull end hold, which is SANADA’s finisher and DOUKI taps out.

Winner: Jungle Boy

SANADA comes to the ring in a suit with his belt and faces off with Jungle Boy.
