AEW Rampage 1/13/23 Results

Here are the quick results from tonight’s AEW Rampage in Los Angeles:

AEW TNT Champion Darby Allin beat Juice Robinson to retain the title.

Malakai Black & Brody King beat Eddie Kingston & Ortiz. Black pinned Kingston after a spinning heel kick meant for Ortiz which was ducked.

A couple of bad comedy segments with The Acclaimed/Gunn Club and a Golden Globe winner I’ve never heard of who wound up taking a guitar shot from Jeff Jarrett.

In a Street Fight, Ruby Soho & Willow Nightingale beat Anna Jay.A.S. & Tay Melo. Soho pinned Melo after Destination Unknown into a pile of thumbtacks.

Mostly because of bad editing and bad comedy, this show was very bad and really disappointed because on paper the matches were solid. Main event was really sloppy at times but the effort was more than there. Just don’t expect Thunder Rosa-Britt Baker.

DEVELOPING: NJPW STRONG Ending Today?

This is just a rumor right now, but a post today on New Japan icon Hiroshi Tanahashi’s Japanese blog suggests the NJPW STRONG program is ending. This follows a Twitter post from NJPW President Takami Ohbari that STRONG “will be rebuilt next year”, meaning this year. Tanahashi indicates the final STRONG tapings are the one happening today. There are rumors elsewhere this could all be ties to AEW & Ring Of Honor owner Tony Khan’s plans for a reboot of ROH’s weekly TV show, which finished its prior 10-year syndication & FITE run last year and for now is expected to be on the rebooted HonorClub platform, now a streaming service for ROH past events and TV, available on the US only for $9.99/month.

This is all just a rumor right now but it does bear watching, moreso since New Japan and AEW have a working relationship.

More as it becomes available.
