Winner: Darby Allin
Rating: ***. Kind of a mess, kind of all over the place, but kind of really fun at the same time. Darby gets the title shot at Grand Slam, which the crowd will love. In matches like this, though, they should really be very clear on the rules before the match starts as a lot of this wasn’t very clear.
Match #2. Kris Statlander vs. Leila Gray
Kick to the face by Statlander. F-5 and a kip up. Friday Night Fever. Finito.
Winner: Kris Statlander
Rating: NR
Match #3. Lance Archer vs. Alejandro (I think?)
Archer is carrying his opponent to the ring. Pop-up spinebuster by Archer. EVERYBODY DIES. Chokeslam. Fans ask for one more time and they get it. Blackout. That’ll do it.
Winner: Lance Archer
Rating: NR
Match #4. The Righteous vs. Private Party vs. The OutRunners vs. Don Callis Family
Chops by Floyd to Vincent and a double elbow. Double boots to Dutch but he comes back with a double clothesline and a leg drop. Powerbomb to Floyd and a headbutt from Vincent. Kassidy springboards into a huge Bossman Slam from Dutch. Don Callis has joined commentary, by the way. Righteous work over Truth in the corner and a short-arm clothesline. Truth backflips out of a back suplex attempt and tags in Quen. Quen with some elbows to Vincent and a pop-up dropkick. Kassidy in now with an enziguiri and a moonsault. Stunner over the top to Fletcher and a neckbreaker/double stomp combo to Vincent. Corkscrew kick to Dutch on the apron and a stunner on the top rope. Backstabber through the ropes and a 450 to Dutch by Quen on Kassidy’s knees! Turbo Floyd stuns Quen over the top now, but Fletcher has sseen enough and he blindsides him. Hard chops by Fletcher and Rush is here with a kick in the jaw. Belly-to-back tombstone by Fletcher and this one is over.
Winner: The Don Callis Family
Rating: **. Barely any time for this one and not a whole heck of a lot here.
Final Thoughts: Rough episode this week. The Royal Rampage is a fun idea in theory, but the execution needs some finetuning. Also, we don’t need one 40+ minute match and then 3 other matches in one show. The timing NEEDS to be better if people are ever going to care about this show. 5.5/10 .
