Here are the quick results from last night’s TAPED AEW Rampage in New York City:
In a No DQ Match, Darby Allin & Sting beat Buddy Matthews & Brody King. Sting pinned Matthews after a Scorpion Deathdrop after The Great Muta (Keiji Muto) appeared and hit a dragon screw on Matthews followed by his signature green mist to the face. During all this, Julia Hart fell off the ring apron and poorly went through a table at ringside.
Hook & Action Bronson beat 2.0. Double submission. Bronson apparently had a stip in his contract where he would take no bumps.
Samoa Joe & Wardlow beat Tony Nese & Josh Woods. Joe pinned Nese after a Muscle Buster. Squash. Afterwards, Smart Mark Sterling took 3 powerbombs from Wardlow.
Jungle Boy beat Rey Fenix. Afterwards, Christian Cage came out (arm in a sling) and that set up Luchasaurus for a sneak attack and destroying Jungle Boy.
Sammy Guevara beat Eddie Kingston by DQ (reversal of original decision). Kingston had won by ref stoppage (technical submission) with a stretch plum but refused to release the hold afterwards, so Kingston was DQ’d.
AEW TBS Champion Jade Cargill beat Diamante to retain the title. Squash. 38-0.
Adam Page won the Golden Ticket Battle Royal, last eliminating Rush. As a result, Page will face AEW World Champion Jon Moxley for the title on the 10/18 Dynamite (a Tuesday because of baseball playoffs on TBS). Unless MJF decides to cash in his Money In The Bank casino chip for a title shot before then.
In a Lights Out Match (unsanctioned, anything goes), Ricky Starks beat Powerhouse Hobbs.
No MJF cash-in despite the Dynamite main event teases.
Announced for Dynamite next week: Jericho Appreciation Society Championship Celebration and AEW World Champion Jon Moxley vs. Juice Robinson (New Japan Pro Wrestling/Impact Wrestling) in a NON-TITLE match. It’s billed as a World Title Eliminator so Robinson may get a future title shot if he wins. Also, Pro Wrestling NOAH, Muto/Muta’s home promotion in Japan, has announced Sting for what will be Muta’s final event on 1/22/23 in Osaka, Japan. The Forbidden Door perhaps opens further! (It should be noted Muto/Muta & Sting do have a long history together, dating back to at least WCW in the 1990s)
