Rating: ****1/4. Man, this was entertaining. I know Moxley is a polarizing character but he is aces in these situations. Best Friends are just so reliable and Claudio has been an underappreciated signing for this company. Brutality off the charts here and really felt like these guys were trying to take each other out. I think the original is better, but not by match. Great way to close out Rampage.
Final Thoughts: Perfectly acceptable episode of Rampage with a heck of a main event. A ton happened this week but most of it felt important, which was different than previous episodes. Thumbs up. 8/10.
