There was no one doing live commentary, so no idea if/when/where these may air, but they were held -
Before they went on the air with Dynamite:
*Nyla Rose defeated Alejandra Lion.
*Zak Knight (aka Saraya's brother, I googled him) defeated Peter Avalon. I believe this was Knight's AEW debut.
After they taped Rampage, AEW held matches that were announced as "bonus matches" by ring announcer Justin Roberts.
*Hikaru Shida defeated Emi Sakura in a back and forth match. They fought up the aisle to the stage at one point.
*The Dark Order insulted Oklahoma. This led to Jake Hager, Matt Menard and Angelo Parker coming out to challenge for a six man tag team match...Hager made Alex Reynolds tap out to an anklelock.
NOTES:
The crowd live was super hot with lots of "AEW" chants, it seemed to be way more than usual of late.
Very warm welcome for Jim Ross.
Funny to note there was someone with a SPOILER: MOXLEY WILL BLEED sign in the first row, and then Mox did not bleed!
Tony Khan came out several times to rile up the crowd. He praised and thanked the ring crew during the change from Dynamite to Rampage. I don't believe we'd have ever seen Vince McMahon do that!
Justin Roberts did a great job playing to the crowd before the show and during commercial breaks. Very different feel from a WWE show.
The crowd started to disperse after Rampage was taped but overall a very fun show live.
