Here are the quick results from last night’s AEW Rampage in Minneapolis, MN:
Bryan Danielson promo with Daniel Garcia opened. They face off Wednesday on Dynamite in a 2 of 3 falls match.
AAA Mixed Tag Team Champions Sammy Guevara & Tay Melo beat Dante Martin & Skye Blue to retain the titles. Melo pinned Blue after TayKO. Melo is the former Tay Conti (she & Guevara got legit married last weekend. I’m still assuming Eddie Kingston wasn’t invited).
Parker Boudreaux beat Sonny Kiss. Squash.
Gunn Club beat Danhausen & Erick Redbeard. Colten Gunn pinned Danhausen after Fameasser.
Zack Clayton, whoever he is, challenged FTW Champion Hook for the title. That may happen next week.
Orange Cassidy beat Ari Daivari. After the match, Truthbusters beat down Best Friends and Sonny Kiss, despite being squashed by them earlier, came out and turned heel to join them.
Post-show news:
After the show went off, AEW announced on social media that Boudreaux is now #AllElite as he has signed with the promotion.
Also, Konosuke Takeshita has left AEW as his excursion to the US is apparently over after 4 months. He is returning to Japan for several upcoming major events in DDT. The door is certainly open for Takeshita to come back to the US and he would like to return.
In more unfortunate news, Kris Statlander has suffered another knee injury and is out indefinitely, likely to be several months. She had just moved up to #1 in the Women’s Rankings, putting her in line for a title shot…last time this happened, she got hurt too. Ugh. Best wishes for a full recovery.
During an NFL preseason game involving the Jacksonville Jaguars, owned by his father, Tony Khan announced AEW will return home to Daily’s Place on 10/21. That’s a Friday, suggesting that either will be a live Rampage or a non-televised house show, which AEW has only done once
Added to Dynamite next week is Gunn Club vs. Varsity Blonds.
Next week on Rampage: AEW Tag Team Champions Keith Lee & Swerve Strickland vs. Private Party for the titles. And possibly the FTW Title match.
