Match #3. Private Party vs. Zane & Dave Dawson

Kassidy wants shots as Zane misses a charge in the corner. Dropkick over the top by Quen and double mounted punches by Private Party. Quen tries to body slam Dave but he can’t and gets squashed. Jawbreaker by Quen and now he gets the big body slam. Pop-up hurricanrana by Kassidy to Dave. Silly String to Dave. Two count. Assisted Stunner to Dave with a Sliced Bread finish. Gin & Juice to Zane on top of Dave! That’ll do it.

Winner: Private Party

Rating: NR

A video package of Deonna Purrazzo is shown. She will summon a symphony of violence with that bullrope that is so severe that she will lay Thunder Rosa out on a slab.

Dustin Rhodes is here, talking about how he’s giving Sammy Guevara a chance at redemption in Ring of Honor. The Kingdom are here and Taven reminds us that Mike Bennett wrestled four days after having his first kid, and Sammy took an entire year off. Taven kicks Dustin low and say they want his titles.

Match #4. Saraya w/ Harley Cameron vs. Nyla Rose

Saraya attacks early and throws Nyla into the steel steps. Saraya jumps a sleeper hold in the ring but Nyla throws her off and crushes her in the corner. Body slam by Nyla. Saraya backs Nyla up with some elbows and then takes a break outside with Harley. Nyla fakes a dive but Saraya traps her in the ring skirt and beats on her. Saraya dumps Nyla outside on the ring on the far side and allows Harley to do her dirty work as she distracts the referee. Nyla reverses an Irish whip and drops her weight on Saraya. Sidewalk slam by Nyla and a senton gets two. Nyla looks for a splash but Saraya gets the knees up. Running knee by Saraya. Nightcap by Saraya! Two count. Harley and Saraya argue over the name of her finisher, allowing Nyla to superkick her and get a two count. Double clothesline and both women are down. Chokeslam by Nyla but Harley provides the distraction. Nyla lays Harley out but Saraya superkicks her in the face. Nyla tries to bring Saraya in with a suplex from the apron and Harley trips her up and traps the legs, allowing Saraya to get the pin!

Final Thoughts: Decent episode of Rampage this week, with some stronger name recognition than we had last week. The matches were fine, as kicking off a show with Darby will always really set the tone. Saraya getting a few wins before Wembley is also important, so Rampage did it’s job tonight. 7/10.
