AEW Rampage 7/5/24
From the Wintrust Arena in Chicago, Illinois! Excalibur, Tony Schiavone, and Don Callis are on commentary with Matt Menard recovering from the MJF attack earlier.
Match #1. Rush vs. Komander w/ Alex Abrahantes
Step-up tieres by Komander and Rush retreats. Komander looks for an asai moonsault but Rush pulls him hard to the floor and then does Rush things on the outside, choking Komander with a camera cable and throwing him into everything possible. Snap powerslam back inside the ring by Rush and a big double stomp. Rush just beats on Komander in the ring throughout the commercial break. Rush feigns the Bull’s Horns and punts Komander in the jaw. Rush then hangs Komander in the Tree of Woe and looks for the Bull’s Horns but Komander pulls himself up and comes off the top with a tornillo. Dropkick to the knee and a tope suicida to the floor. Asai moonsault by Komander! Back inside the ring, Shooting Star Press by Komander gets two. Crucifix Bomb, well, kind of, by Komander, and he gets another two count. Release German by Rush and a big headbutt. Komnader rolls to the apron and Rush brings him back inside the ring with a deadlift superplex. Two count. Both guys on the apron again and Rush chops Komander hard. Release overhead belly-to-belly by Rush sends Komander to the floor! Rush pulls him back in the ring by his mask and finishes this one with the Bull’s Horns.
Winner: Rush
Rating: **. Not much here but an elongated enhancement match.
Roderick Strong and The Kingdom have unfinished business with Kyle O’Reilly, and they’ll be ringside tonight.
Match #2. Konosuke Takeshita & Kyle Fletcher vs. Private Party
Don Callis Family attacks before the bell and here we go. Takeshita runs into a boot in the corner yet continues to double suplex Private Party. Fletcher stacks both guys on top of each other and Takeshita comes off the top with a senton. Hot tags now keep Quen away from his partner and we go to commercial. Kassidy gets the tag and comes in a house of fire. Senton off the top by Kassidy and Quen is here wth a 450, but Fletcher gets the boots up. Deadlift German suplex by Takeshita. Running leg lariat in the corner by Fletcher to Quen and a pair of stereo brainbusters. One, two, no! Superbomb by Takeshita but Quen counters into the Gin and Juice. Silly String to Fletcher! 450 by Quen and an asai moonsault to Fletcher on the floor! Takeshitaline to Quen and a tag to Fletcher. Double underhook snap suplex to Kassidy. Blue Thunder Bomb by Takeshita. Belly-to-back tombstone by Fletcher and this one is over.
Winners: Don Callis Family
Rating: **1/4. Felt similar to the opener, although Private Party got a lot bit more offense in. Takeshita and Fletcher are great singles, so no sense they wouldn’t make a great tag team.
Don Callis shows a video package of him recruiting Rush.
Match #3. Kyle O’Reilly vs. GPA
Roderick Strong is on commentary with The Kingdom behind him. Running boot in the corner by Kyle and some roundhouse kicks. Kitchen sink by Kyle and a hammerlock, taking GPA to the mat, and ground and pounding him. GPA with a thrust to the throat and a pair of jawbreakers and a Stunner. Kyle fires back with a kick combo and a foot sweep. Running elbows strike by Kyle and now a release suplex into a straight armbar and GPA taps.
Winner: Kyle O’Reilly
Rating: NR
The Undisputed Kingdom hit the ring in their recruitment efforts but Kyle doesn’t want to hear it.
Samoa Joe says Jericho has no faith in his fellow man, because next week in Calgary, Joe wants to break and bleed him.
Match #4. Owen Hart Cup Semifinal: Mariah May w/ Toni Storm & Luther vs. Hikaru Shida
Hard chops by May and a shotgun dropkick to start. May sets Shida up on the apron and looks for a powerbomb on the floor but Shida counters with a hurricanrana! Running knee by Shida as May is draped over the apron. Toni Storm and Shida face off on the outside as we go to PIP. Shida is in control throughout the PIP but May goes up and over a charge and chops the legs out. Shida recovers with a backbreaker and now a crossface. Handstand hurricanrana by May, as she comes off the top with a shotgun dropkick. Two count. May lands on the apron and Shida connects with an enziguiri, before bringing May in the hardway with a superplex from the apron! Two count. Shida batters May with some elbows and hits the ropes, but May grabs the spinning side slam. Running hip attack in the corner by May but Shida blocks it with a belly-to-back suplex. One by May. Rolling elbow and a Falcon Arrow by May but she only gets one! Back suplex by May and NOW the running hip attack in the corner. May looks for Storm Zero but Shida rolls her up for two. Storm provides a distraction and May headbutts her. Shida lands a big knee. Shida looks for a kimura trap roll but May counters with a bridge and gets the win!
Winner: Mariah May
Rating: ***. Good main event with May getting a mostly-clean win over the established former-champion Shida. The showdown at All In between May and Storm looms heavy.
Final Thoughts: Fine episode of Rampage here, tonight. Well-wrestled main event with some stakes on it and some Don Callis Family stuff. No issues here. 7/10.Â
