This episode of AEW RAMPAGE: Holiday Bash was broadcast on
TNT from the Entertainment & Sports Arena in Washington, DC!

Excalibur, Tony Schiavone, Ian Riccaboni and “Daddy Magic”
Matt Menard were the broadcast team for tonight’s event.

It’s Friday and you know what that means! The fastest hour
in professional wrestling!

This…is…Rampage!

Tony Schiavone was in the ring to interview the current
leader of the Blue League Kyle Fletcher and Don Callis!

Don Callis: “I have something important to say. The Don
Callis Family are the true one-percenters of the
professional wrestling business. Murder Machine are the most
feared tag team in the world. Don Callis’ favorite wrestler
Kyle Fletcher shows every day why he is the one percent.
He’s going to win the Continental Classic!”

Fletcher: “It might be true this past Saturday was not such
a good day for Kyle Fletcher, but the official was biased.
There is an agenda in AEW. The people do not want to see us
succeed. Daniel Garcia, you want to talk about restoring the
feeling. I don’t care about your feelings, I only care about
facts. I will be the future of this whole place!”

Callis: “When you’re the one percent, you’re not like the
other 99 percent. We’re not like the fans or the boys in the
back, including Mark Davis and Powerhouse Hobbs who are a
couple of scab workers. I waited until we could get you in a
pay per view so the world could watch why they call
Takeshita “the Alpha” and you’re not in the same business,
and you’ll find out at Worlds End, Hobbs!”

The Don Callis Family’s AEW International Champion “The
Alpha” Konosuke Takeshita & “The Machine” Brian Cage
vs.
Powerhouse Hobbs & Mark Davis!

Hobbs and Takeshita traded forearms and strikes. Hobbs tried
for a spinebuster, but Takeshita escaped and rolled out of
the ring to create distance between the two.

“The Machine” Brian Cage tagged in, and he booted Hobbs in
the midsection. Hobbs made him pay for it with a forearm
strike before tagging out to Mark Davis. Davis took down
Cage with a shoulder tackle.

Takeshita and Cage worked in tandem to take down Hobbs. Cage
grounded and pounded Hobbs. Takeshita tagged in and he and
Cage double suplexed Hobbs. Hobbs caught Cage with an
explosive suplex. Davis grabbed a tag from Hobbs, offering
relief. Davis back body dropped Cage. Davis went for a
senton, but Cage countered by raising his knees. Takeshita
connected with a Blue Thunder Bomb on Davis, good for a near
fall!

Cage struck Davis with a jumping knee strike. Davis fired
back with a back drop. Hobbs and Takeshita tagged in for
their respective teams and Hobbs unleashed fury on Cage and
Takeshita. Hobbs power slammed Cage and then he power
slammed Takeshita.

Takeshita countered a spinebuster attempt with an elbow and
then a rolling forearm. Hobbs spiked Takeshita with a
spinebuster out of nowhere! Cage came in and planted Hobbs
with a pump handle slam for a near fall.

Davis and Takeshita collided in the center of the ring.
Takeshita drilled Davis with the power drive knee and then
nailed Davis with the Raging Fire to pick up the pin fall!

Lio Rush & Action Andretti vs. Miles Hawkins & Goldy!

Lio Rush went after Goldy. Hawkins tried to fight off Rush
and Andretti, but they swarmed him with a flurry of offense
and a series of misdirects. Action hit a neck breaker on
Hawkins and Lio pinned Hawkins.

After the match AEW World Tag Team Champions Private Party—
Zay and Quen—walked onto the ramp and pointed at Rush and
Andretti. Top Flight’s music began to play and Rush and
Andretti blindsided the tag champs with cheap shots. Darius
and Dante Martin came out and backed off Rush and Andretti
and then Top Flight handed the championship belts back to
Private Party.

Willow Nightingale vs. Harley Cameron!

Willow connected with a diving body press to Harley. Willow
body slammed Cameron. Willow propped up Harley in the tree
of woe, but Harley escaped and landed a kick and a back
elbow on Willow.

Willow dropped Harley with a thunderous lariat. Willow
booted Harley and then planted Harley with a spinebuster for
a near fall. Harley dodged a cannonball splash and then
staggered Willow with a shining wizard.

Willow drilled Harley with a Death Valley Driver, but Harley
kicked out at the two count! Willow finished off Harley with
the Babe with the Powerbomb for the pinfall victory!

After the match Penelope Ford blindsided Willow. Harley
helped Penelope until Kris Statlander ran down and Penelope
and Harley retreated from the ring.

Continental Classic Gold League Match!
House of Black’s Brody King vs. Komander!

Brody bulldozed Komander with a running shoulder. Komander
chopped back and Brody didn’t budge. Brody wiped out
Komander with a chop of his own!

Brody sent Komander soaring high with a back drop. Komander
escaped a power bomb attempt. Brody smashed Komander with a
clubbing lariat. Komander targeted Brody with kicks to the
thigh. Komander tried to walk the ropes, but Brody sent
Komander crashing to the floor with a double chop! Brody
pummeled Komander with punishing kicks and strikes.

Komander jumped on Brody’s back and locked in a submission
dead center in the ring. Brody hurled Komander off his back,
escaping the submission. Komander blasted Brody with a
crucifix bomb! Komander jumped out of the ring at Brody, but
Brody caught him and rammed Komander into the barricade,
using him as a battering ram!

Brody charged at Komander but Komander escaped calamity, and
Brody crashed into the guardrail. Komander flipped out of
the ring, throwing his entire body at Brody on the arena
floor with a midair salute!

“The fans are behind Komander and want to see this upset,”
said Excalibur.

Brody put Komander on his shoulders and climbed to the top
turnbuckle. Komander adjusted and power bombed Brody off the
ropes. Komander landed a 450 splash on Brody for a near
fall!

“Komander was half a heartbeat away from capturing his first
three points,” said Excalibur.

Komander dropkicked Brody on the right shoulder and Brody
spilled out of the ring. Komander moonsaulted out of the
ring onto Brody with another salute! Komander moonsaulted
Brody inside the ring this time. Brody was too big and
managed to get to his feet. Brody spiked Komander with the
Gonzo Bomb and pinned Komander!

“We now have a five way tie on top of the Gold League,” said
Excalibur.
