AEW RAMPAGE RESULTS FOR SEPT. 30

• Rampage kicks off with The Acclaimed defending the AEW world tag team titles in a three way match against Private Party and The Blade & The Butcher. Max Caster’s entrance rap includes references to Adam Levine DMs, Matt Hardy’s nuts, and Ben Simmons. Scissor me, Daddy Ass!
• The Acclaimed defeat Private Party and The Blade & The Butcher to retain the AEW world tag team titles. Blade and Butcher tried to isolate Isiah Kassidy to score the win, but their strategy didn’t work. The Blade was pinned by the champs after being hit by Caster’s Mic Drop elbow. The champs and Daddy Ass engaged in three way scissoring after the match.
• The Firm talks trash about FTR in a backstage promo. The Ass Boys want to leapfrog FTR up the card. Top Gunns, out.
• Jade Cargill says she has no competition. Vickie Guerrero and Nyla Rose take exception to that claim. It looks like a title match is coming soon.
• Lee Moriarty defeats Fuego Del Sol. Lee made quick work of Fuego and forced him to tap out with a crossface. The commentators indicate that Moriarty wants the ROH Pure championship. After the match, W. Morrissey destroys Fuego with a one-armed chokeslam. The Firm is a force to be reckoned with, says Excalibur.
• Andrade and Jose try to cause tension between Hangman Page and the Dark Order backstage. It looks like Andrade is willing to put his AEW career on the line to claim Dark Order 10’s mask. Stokely Hathaway and Ethan Page crash the scene and make a reference to contract tampering.
• Jamie Hayter defeats Willow Nightingale. Willow came close to winning with a Death Valley Driver. Britt Baker interfered and grabbed Willow’s boot as she climbed the top rope. The ref didn’t see it, allowing Jamie Hayter to take advantage and pin her opponent after a short-arm clothesline.
• Ryan Nemeth is in the ring. He calls Benjamin Franklin a two pump chump and then mocks Extremely Crappy Wrestling. FTW Champion HOOK comes out and obliterates this fool. HOOK chokes him out with Redrum. The Trust Busters leave a contract on the ground at the top of the ramp, which HOOK picks up as he leaves.
• Mark Henry interviews John Silver and RUSH ahead of their main event match, which is coming up next.
• RUSH defeats John Silver. Silver got a near fall with a brainbuster, but a distraction from Andrade and Jose led to him falling right into the Bull’s Horns for the pin fall.
• Andrade’s group put a beatdown on Silver after the match. The rest of the Dark Order and AFO came out and brawled in the ring. Hangman Page makes the save. He goes at it with RUSH and knocks out Jose with a Buckshot Lariat. Hangman Page vs. RUSH is booked for next week on Dynamite.
• That’s the end of the show, folks!
