Winners and STILL AEW World Trios Champions: The Acclaimed & Daddy Ass
Rating: **3/4. Another nice win for The Acclaimed. Nice opener and the crowd was here for the whole thing.
Eddie Kingston is here and he respects Rocky, but…
Here’s Jay Lethal and company. Lethal respects Kingston having two titles but says the ROH World Heavyweight Championship is reserved for athletes. Kingston doesn’t seem bothered and says he’s going to go beat up Rocky.
Match #2. NJPW Never Openweight Championship: Eddie Kingston (c) vs. Rocky Romero
Both men trade wrist locks to start before Rocky catches Kingston with a step-up hurricanrana and a suicide dive to the floor. Make that two for Rocky. Kingston grabs Rocky’s third attempt and hits a big stalling suplex on the floor. Kingston in control with a chin lock and an octopus stretch throughout the PIP. Rocky counters a knee with a step-up tornado DDT for a two count before we go to a full commercial break. Back from break and Rocky counters a Northern Light’s Bomb with a jumping knee to the face. Kingston is draped between the middle rope and calls Rocky on for more, so Rocky hits a spinning back kick and a double dropkick off the middle rope. Kingston reverses an Irish whip and it’s the machine gun chops in the corner. Both men fight up to the top rope and Rocky counters Kingston with an avalanche Sliced Bread. Rocky looks for the forever clotheslines in the corner but Kingston counters with a pair of spinning backfists before locking in the Stretch Plum, and Rocky is forced to tap.
Winner and STILL NJPW Never Openweight Champion: Eddie Kingston

Soho gets up and hits Destination Unknown but Shida shrugs it off and finishes this one with the Kitana!
Winner: Hikaru Shida
Rating: ***. Nice stuff from both women here in the main event spot. Shida getting the clean win was nice but it feels like Ruby can just never bring herself to win the big one.
Final Thoughts: Strong episode of Rampage tonight, as once again, most of the matches felt important and they really got some time. Kingston’s double title reign is off to a good start as The Acclaimed & Daddy Ass continue to dominate Rampage. Women’s match delivered in the main event and with two title matches previously, that’s tough to follow. 8/10.
