Tonight's Card

Tag Team Match
Kenny Omega/Brandon Cutler vs. Christian Cage/Frankie Kazarian

Eliminator Tournament Match
Tag Team Match
Jurassic Express vs. Lucha Bros.

Singles Match
Tay Conti vs. The Bunny

The Jurassic Express/Lucha Bros match should be a banger, based off of recent events, it wouldn't be surprising to see Jurassic Express pick up the win tonight. Which should be followed by them beating The Young Bucks at All Out, inside the steel cage and winning the tag titles.

Tay Conti has improved quite a bit since her NXT days. I’m so glad she doesn’t cry after every match these days, god that was so annoying. Hopefully it’ll be a good match between her and The Bunny.

I'm not a Brandon Cutler fan at all, anyone else would be a better partner for Kenny Omega IMO. Having said that, if they keep Cutler's antics to a minimum, with Kenny doing most of the work for his team, it should still be an entertaining match.

Hum, Adam Cole cancelled his stream for night claiming something came up.

Honestly, I hope it's not what everyone else is hoping it is.

CM Punk just got here, Danielson is on his way, are you really gonna cram a Cole debut in between the two? He'd have like a tenth of the impact he should.

EDIT: Unless he sneak attacks Punk and AEW builds to Punk/Cole at All Out, which would probably make more sense than a face vs face Punk/Allin bout

Makes no sense to me to have Cole just chilling backstage and not use him. He will do more for AEW on TV than on twitch or just hanging out backstage.

I haven't looked up results, as I didn't want to be spoiled, but this episode of Rampage was taped on Wednesdsy. So having said that, I highly doubt Adam Cole is showing up, or we would have heard about it by now.

Also Jericho on commentary, atleast he isn't as annoying as last time.

Wish Jericho was not on commentary, decent match still.

Great match from Jurassic Express and Lucha Bros, even if the team I was rooting for lost tonight. Still though, Lucha Bros vs. Young Bucks, at All Out inside of a steel cage with the tag titles on the line, should be dope AF.

God yes, Miro beating that scrub Fuego Del Sol. And here's Kingston, I'm all in on Miro/Kingston.

Go Bunny, rep the HFO!!!

Tay Conti probably gonna win, gotta build up challengers for Britt Baker.

LOOK AT THAT PURE POWER OF BUNNY!!!

Penelope Ford giving The Bunny an assist.

My predictions were way off tonight, I haven't gotten a match right at all.

Darby Allin vs. Daniel Garcia, next week on Rampage should be good.

Why did Aubrey Edwards raise the hand of someone who not only wasn't in the match in Penelope Ford but if anything tried(Or actually did) cause a distraction to ruin the match?

Because she knows that the HFO demands respect!!!

Dabbing elbow!!!

Because referee's in wrestling are moronic idiots.

It was a joy, watching both Christian Cage and Frankie Kazarian, beat the crap out of Brandon Cutler. I really dislike Cutler (the guy is a joke),so the main-event put a huge smile on my face.

Who the hell is Brandon Cutler   Embarrassing seeing Kazarian sell his antics and struggle and look to tag out to Christian for the help against Cutler.

Another scrub (like Fuego Del Sol), gets TV time cause he's The Young Bucks bitch boy.

I gave Jungle Express vs Lucha Bros a chance, but it was exactly the kind of choreographed, spotty, Canadian-destroyers-everywhere match I was hoping wouldn't happen. So mcuh for that.

Eddie Kingston is great at talking and mediocre at wrestling. So when he dropped the mic and went after Miro, I stopped caring. Decent Exploder Suplex though.

The rest of the show happened.

It's interesting how indifferent I've become to Kenny Omega. Isn't it bad if I have no interest in seeing the World Champion of the company facing off against his #1 Contender in a tag match? The fact that Christian beat him already doesn't make me any more excited for their AEW title match.

UT Holy shit the Jaguars owner's son hyped up Giannis. Greek Freak is all-elite, are you too?

Tony Khan is an absolute beast on the mic. Wasn't Nikola Jokic the MVP of this past NBA season?

Giannis is a man of the people and humanitarian at heart so of course he would go to AEW.

Had to work late so I missed the show but from highlights/comments I've gathered that taping this after Dynamite and Dark isn't the smartest move. Crowd seemed dead other than the tag tournament match.

Eddie vs Miro makes me happy. Eddie won't be the guy to dethrone Miro even though he should be. He deserves a title run, even a short one, as a thank you. He's been awesome for AEW since coming in and deserves to have his name etched in history.

Tay Conti is amazing and should be on TV more. I hate seeing her and Shida only on Dark. Makes zero sense.

I love Jungle Express but I'm glad Lucha Bros won. Fenix in a cage? Hook it into my veins.

Eddie vs Miro? YES, PLEASE!

I'm not sure what was more entertaining, Jungle Boy-Fenix' interactions or Giannis' reactions.

Now there were some ridiculous spots. That big frankensteiner spot onto the outside where Fenix had to slowly tip toe across the second rope as quickly as he could was silly. However it's on brand for Fenix to try something different even though it's clearly not practical in the slightest. As far as the modern style goes where athleticism and entertainment is king, Fenix is right up there as one of the best practitioners of that style.

Bucks-Lucha should be even better. I kind of wish they put more thought into building that match up because it still feels like we're in the middle of a Bucks-Jurassic rivalry and the Lucha Brothers seem to be two kids caught up in a custody battle. Fortunately I don't think it's the type of match that really needs a great build-up but it could have helped elevate the match.

Still Rampage is building up a decent resume of worthwhile matches/segments. So far each show has had something worth watching which is important in the grand scheme.

Darby/Garcia and potentially Miro/Kingston should continue that streak.

Yeah, I was surprised to see Lucha Bros win the match, granted Lucha Bros vs. Young Bucks at All Out should still be an entertaining match. I just figured given recent events, it would have been a safe bet that Jurassic Express would have won and went to All Out instead. Between the announcement of the tag team tournament, and the winners taking on The Young Bucks in a steel cage (preventing the rest of The Elite from getting involved), it would have made sense if Jurassic Express won the tourney and got their big moment at the PPV event.
