It is Friday and this week, AEW Rampage was recorded after Dynamite at the H-E-B Center in Cedar Park, TX. Our commentary team is Excalibur, Matt Menard, and Tony Schiavone.
Jeff Hardy vs. Sammy Guevara - No DQ.
They start with slaps and then throwing hands. Jeff slams Sammy and then goes to the outside. Jeff pulls out a ladder and shoves it in the ring, but Sammy drop kicks it into Jeff. Sammy sets the ladder up in the ring. They brawl on the outside and then move to fighting on the apron. Sammy gets a meteora on Jeff from the top to the apron and then covers Jeff for two.
They go back to brawling on the floor. Jeff sets up the steel steps and launches off of them into Sammy. Jeff tosses a chair at Sammy in the corner and then goes up the ladder. Sammy climbs the other side and they throw hands at the top. Jeff hits a Twist of Fate off the ladder and covers for two as we go picture in picture.
When they return to full screen, a ladder had been set up at ringside as well as a table. Jeff puts Sammy on the table and then climbs the big ladder at ringside. Sammy is able to get up and he drags Jeff down and rolls him into the ring. They fight in the corner and Sammy wraps the chair around Jeff’s head before hitting a cutter. He then pulls Jeff out of the ring and puts him on the table.
Sammy then climbs the ladder and this a swanton off the top. Jeff is rolled into the ring and Sammy goes to the top. Sammy hits a shooting star press, but Jeff gets his knees up. It looks like Sammy’s knees came down on Jeff’s face and the doctor is brought into the ring and the match is stopped.
Jeff gets up and tries for a twist of fate, but Sammy reverses it to a GTS and covers for the pin and the win.
Winner: Sammy Guevara
Jeff is bleeding profusely from his nose and everyone goes to help Jeff. Matt Hardy drives Sammy across the ring as Jeff is helped out of the ring. Sammy is left in the ring and Powerhouse Hobbs slams him as Don Callis watches.

Ruby says that every bad thing that has happened to her was something Saraya has done and she needs space. Saraya says it’s time to end Ruby, and Harley says she’ll use her knife. When Saraya says she’s holding a spoon, Harley uses the old “I see you’ve played knifey spoony before.” joke
