AEW Rampage 5/24/24
From the Mechanics Bank Arena in Bakersfield, California! Tony Schiavone, Excalibur, and Chris Jericho are on commentary and here comes The….. BASTARD.
Match #1. Pac vs. Rocky Romero
Shoulder block by Pac. Leap frog and up and over by Rocky. Tieres by Rocky but Pac handsprings out. Another head scissors by Rocky but this one lands and we reset. Pac sends Rocky to the floor and follows up with a picture-perfect Asai moonsault! Pac in control now with a pump kick to the face. Two of them. Pac catches a kick but Rocky catches him with a rewind heel kick. Running Sliced Bread by Rocky gets two. Spinning Tornado DDT from the middle rope by Rocky but Pac rolls to the outside for safety. Suicide dive by Rocky, before rolling Pac in the ring quickly and getting a two count. Rocky looks for the Dudley Death Drop but Pac flips out and connects with a Mafia Kick in the corner. Pac sends Rocky into the corner and grabs a waist lock before planting him with a rebound German suplex. Pac locks in the Brutalizer and Rocky taps immediately.
Winner: Pac
Rating: **3/4. Quick and impressive win for Pac. Rocky didn’t put up much of a fight but this was technically sound from start to finish.
After the match, Pac calls out the Gunns for a match against the Lucha Bros tomorrow on Collision.
Chris Jericho decides he wants to address the crowd, so he takes the mic. Jericho reminds us he’s already beaten Hook and thrown a hockey puck at the face of Shibata. Wait, Shibata is here and he takes out Big Bill on the ramp. Hook pops up and chokes Jericho from behind before dragging him into the stands and fighting all the way back through the crowd!
Renee is in the back with Hook and Shibata after the break. Hook says he’s not on anyone’s page but his own, and he’s getting his FTW Title back. Samoa Joe is here and says this is both sad, and disappointing. Joe says he thought he saw something in Hook when they were in the ring, and he’s got an ally in Shibata, but they keep bumping chests. Joe says both Hook and Shibata have been under Jericho’s learning tree and neither one has learned a damn thing. Hook storms off and Shibata lets us know that after he beats Jericho this weekend, he’s going to see Carrot Top. Amazing.
Match #2. Samoa Joe vs. Dom Kubrick
Jabs by Joe, who walks Kubrick down into the corner. Running back elbow and a Pele kick in the corner. Muscle Buster. Finito.
Winner: Samoa Joe
Rating: NR. Joe stacks bodies.
Renee is with Deonna Purrazzo. Deonna says that Thunder Rosa has tried to jump the line to get a title shot, and this Sunday, she wants her at the Buy In.
Match #3. Rush vs. Isiah Kassidy
Rush charges Kassidy before the match even starts. Bull’s Horns! Rush decides to not pin Kassidy and just throw him into the guardrail a bunch outside the ring. Rush distracts the referee with a chair and then decides to use the camera cable, whipping the back of Rush and then choking him with it. Rush rolls back in the ring and it’s TRANQUILOOOO as we go to commercial. Back from break and Kassidy hits the ropes with a headscissors, lands on his feet, and plants Rush with a Russian Leg Sweep. Kassidy comes off the top with a big Swanton Bomb but he only gets a two count. Big headbutt from Rush flattens Kassidy, as both guys now roll to the apron. Chops by Rush and now Rush asks for some in return and gets them. Kassidy follows up with a rolling elbow before charging Rush and getting DUMPED on the floor with an overhead belly-to-belly. Rush sets Kassidy up in the corner and drills him with a running elbow. Bull’s Horns. This one is over.
Winner: Rush
Rating: *3/4. This was a weird one, as Rush absolutely dominated and it lasted a lot longer than it should have. However, Rush is being made to look like a monster and that’s a good thing.
Brian Cage & The Gates of Agony are here. The Mogul Embassy is dead and gone. Brian Cage had no problem beating Anthony Bowens, and who better… Than the Cage of Agony?
Match #4. Kris Statlander & Willow Nightingale w/ Big Stoke vs. Anna Jay & Alex Windsor
Statlander is wearing dark makeup… angle alert? Jay and Windsor in control early, controlling Statlander in their corner. Snap mare by Jay and it’s chin lock city, baby. Deadlift German suplex by Statlander and a hot tag to Willow. Clothesline to Jay. Two. Three. Avalanche in the corner by Willow and a running big boot. Spinebuster by Willow gets two. Anna snatches a roll up for two. Anna ducks a clothesline and connects with a jaw breaker, but eats a boot in the corner and Willow comes off the top with a shotgun dropkick. Cannonball in the corner but Anna moves. Spinning back kick in the corner by Anna. Complete Shot by Anna and a tag to Windsor, who rushes in with a Shining Wizard. Statlander in and unleashes a combo on Anna that ends with a high kick. Windsor gets distracted and eats a huge lariat from Willow. Babe with the Powerbomb and this one is over!
Winners: Kris Statlander & Willow Nightingale
Rating: **1/2. They didn’t get much time in the main event here but these girls killed it with what they had. Willow looked like a million bucks in the win, but can Anna Jay stop losing?
Mercedes Mone is here and she charges the ring! Mercedes looks for the Money Maker on Statlander but Willow makes the save, who in turn tries the Babe with the Powerbomb, but Mercedes gets free. Pull apart brawl to end the show here as the crowd chants “let them fight!”
Final Thoughts: The entire show’s focus was on Double or Nothing, and that’s a good thing. Wrestling throughout was pretty average, but that’s what we’ve come to expect on Rampage. Nice to see Mercedes show up since she wasn’t on Dynamite, and hammer home that championship match. Rush is being built like a killer, too. 7/10.Â
