Match #1. Ring of Honor World Tag Team Championship #1 Contenders Battle Royal
All teams start on the outside and have to work their way in, before being eligible for elimination. They haven’t told us everyone involved so I’ll just go through who’s getting eliminated. Ryan Nemeth and Peter Avalon get eliminated. Hug vs. Delete as Best Friends and the Hardy’s square off in the center of the ring. Dark Order and The Righteous jump from behind. Kaun gets drumped over the top from behind by Dustin Rhodes. Toa Leona eliminates Blade. Fletcher eliminates Toa. Vincent and Dutch send Butcher over the top! Hardy looks for the Twist of Fate on Dutch but Matt gets dumped and so does Jeff. Dutch is eliminated Darius Martin and Action Andretti. Springboard by Andretti but Fletcher holds on to him and Davis dumps him to the floor. Dark Order are working over Trent. Alex Reynolds gets sent to the floor by Darius Martin but John Silver dumps him from behind. Aussie Open, Trent, and John Silver are left. Elbow sandwich by Aussie Open. Aussie Arrow avoided by Trent as Fletcher gets low bridged and he’s out. John Silver gets sent to the outside but Alex Reynolds catches him and carries him back to the ring. Trent and Davis are fighting over the top rope but John Silver is here and he eliminates both men!
Winner: The Dark Order
Rating: **. These kinds of battle royals are kind of convoluted, but it was quick so… it was fine.
Aussie Open approach the announce desk and get in the face of Chris Jericho. Sammy Guevara is here to make the save for Jericho and it looks like we’ve got a tag match.
Mike Santana
Match #2. Kip Sabian & Gringo Loco w/ Penelope Ford vs. Nick Wayne & El Hijo del Vikingo
Gringo and Vikingo do Gringo and Vikingo stuff, trading kip ups, arm drags, and more. Pop-up standing on the shoulders tieres by Vikingo. Double dropkick to Gringo. Ford provide a distraction as Sabian clotheslines Wayne in the corner. Sabian levels Wayne with an elbow and gets a two. Gringo is in now as we go to commercial break. Wayne is in trouble in the corner. Wayne goes up and over Gringo and makes the hot tag to Vikingo. Corkscrew kick to Sabian.

AVALANCHE POISONRANA BY VIKINGO TO GRINGO! Sabian cuts Vikingo off with a clothesline but Wayne is here to deliver Wayne’s World. Vikingo is up top and he spikes Gringo with a 630 senton! Wayne with a tope con hilo on the floor as Vikingo gets the pin!
Winner: Nick Wayne & El Hijo del Vikingo
Rating: **1/2. There wasn’t a lot to this match, but what we saw, had the crowd losing it. If you like this type of wrestling, you’ll like this match. Nice to see Gringo Loco on AEW TV, however.
Match #3. Hangman Page vs. Bryan Keith
Both man trade hard chops as Hangman asks Keith to fire back. High-angle exploder by Keith. Lariat by Keith but Hangman doesn’t budge. Two. Hangman catches a charging Keith with a fall away slam and a kip up. Hangman looks for the Buckshot but takes his time and Keith hits him with a big boot. Enziguiri by Keith.

Code Blue by Blue to Anna and she gets the pin .
Winners: Skye Blue & Willow Nightingale
Rating: **1/2. This existed, but kind of felt thrown together and like it didn’t matter all that much.
After the match, Taya Valkyrie levels Skye Blue and runs to the back.
Final Thoughts: For a go-home edition of Rampage, not ideal. However, I will give AEW a pass as TK said himself the hurricane, travel, and Punk/Jack Perry situations caused a lot of rewrites this week. The tag team battle royal was fine and it was nice to see Hangman wrestle, but the show just felt like matches for the sake of matches, with odd pairings at that. 5.5/10.
