Happy Grand Slam week! This episode of AEW RAMPAGE was
broadcast on TNT from the MassMutual Center in Springfield,
MA!

Tony Schiavone 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!

The House of Black’s Malakai Black & Buddy Matthews (with
Brody King)
vs.
Lio Rush & Action Andretti (with Top Flight)!

Lio rocked Black with a stunner, but Black bounced back with
a kick. Black dodged a kick with a Matrix style move,
keeping up with Lio’s fast speed.

Andretti tagged in and ate a kick from Buddy. Lio had to
hold Action back as his temper got the better of him. Buddy
blasted Lio with a rising knee strike, knocking Lio out of
the ring. Action grabbed Buddy’s leg and Lio rocketed out of
the ring with a tope suicida. Action connected with a flying
forearm to Buddy Matthews.

Action and Malakai knocked one another down, both going for
running cross body presses. Lio and Buddy tagged in. Lio
spiked Buddy with a poison rana and then a bottom rope
springboard cutter! Malakai got a blind tag and rocked Rush
with a spinning back elbow.

Lio climbed to the top rope, but Action grabbed a blind tag.
Lio was confused, since he might have had the match in the
bag. They argued and in the interim, Black shoved Action,
knocking him back into Rush. Lio Rush was knocked off his
top rope perch, falling to the arena floor. Black walloped
Action with a spinning back fist and picked up the pinfall
victory.

“How do you go into a match against the House of Black and
not be on the same page?” wondered Daddy Magic.

After the match, Top Flight tried to help Action Andretti.
Action grabbed a bottle of water from Darius Martin and
threw it at Brody King as the members of House of Black
celebrated their hard earned victory! Brody bulldozed Action
Andretti into the turnbuckles. Before the rest of House of
Black could pick apart Andretti, Top Flight pulled him out
of the ring and to safety.

Anna Jay vs. Robyn Renegade!

Anna clobbered Robyn with three knees to the midsection.
Anna Jay chopped Robyn in the corner and followed up with a
heel kick. Robyn rocked Anna Jay with an elbow strike. Anna
nailed Robyn with a beautiful neck breaker. Anna Jay pinned
Robyn after a Gory Bomb!

“Anna Jay making quick work of Robyn Renegade!” said Daddy
Magic.

The Don Callis Family’s Konosuke Takeshita
vs. The Spanish Announce Project’s Angelico!

Takeshita and Angelico traded strikes in the center of the
ring. Angelico connected with a big boot to Takeshita’s
face. Angelico shoved Takeshita into the steel ring post.
Back in the ring Takeshita rallied back with a Takeshita
Line.

Angelico fired up with forearm shots to Takeshita. Angelico
cradled Takeshita for a near fall! Angelico took down
Takeshita with a drop toe hold and locked on a submission.
Takeshita crawled to reach the ropes, forcing the ref to
break the hold.

Takeshita raked Angelico’s eyes, but Angelico was there with
a kick to Takeshita’s head. Angelico backdropped Takeshita
from the turnbuckles. Angelico jumped off the ropes but got
nailed with a stiff strike. Takeshita planted Angelico with
the Raging Fire and scored his eighth win in nine matches!

“27 wins since joining the Don Callis Family. Championship
is in his blood,” said Tony Schiavone.

“It feels inevitable,” replied Daddy Magic.

The Acclaimed—Max Caster & Anthony Bowens (with Daddy Ass)
vs.
Ryan Clancy & TJ Crawford!

Clancy got some air and dropkicked Caster. Bowens tagged in
and he and Caster used tandem offense on Clancy. Crawford
came in but Bowens blasted him with a thrust kick. Bowens
planted Clancy with the Arrival. Caster hit the Mic Drop.
They brought Crawford in, hit a tandem finisher on him and
picked up the win.

Caster: “Yo! Yo! Yo! Listen. I heard MxM are having a
fashion show at Grand Slam Collision. Well guys, you wanted
to give my jacket a makeover. All you had to do was ask. I
love makeovers. I love what you pansies are all about. But
guys, I think it’s time for the Acclaimed to crash your
party on Collision, and it’ll be time to nut up or shut up!”

MxM appeared on the big screen above the stage. They said
Collision will be the finale of Fashion Week and the
Acclaimed aren’t invited to see the greatest debut in
fashion history.

“What does MxM have in store for the Acclaimed at
Collision?” wondered Tony Schiavone.

Rampage Main Event Time! Willow Nightingale vs. Taya
Valkyrie!

Taya grounded and pounded Willow, taking Willow off her game
with a punch to the mouth. Willow got to her feet and fired
back.

“This thing going to turn into a slug fest or what?” asked
Daddy Magic.

Willow cartwheeled out of the corner and body slammed Taya.
Willow hit a running crossbody and covered Taya for a two-
count. Willow hit a shotgun dropkick off the second
turnbuckle. Willow followed up with a running cannonball
dive off the apron to Taya on the arena floor!

Back in the ring, Taya walloped Willow with a dropkick,
trying to show up Willow. Willow clubbed Taya with a running
lariat. Willow was mounting a comeback. Willow splashed Taya
in the corner and then cracked Taya with a pump kick. Willow
planted Taya with a spinebuster for a near fall!

Taya dodged a dropkick from Willow. Taya battered Willow
with a kick, a lariat, and then a running knee strike in the
turnbuckles. She covered Willow but Willow kicked out at the
two-count.

Taya countered a running powerbomb attempt with a thrust
kick to Willow. Taya climbed to the top turnbuckle, but
Willow met her up there and superplexed Taya! Willow next
Taya into next week with the pounce!

“She smoked her with it!” said Daddy Magic.

Willow nailed Taya with the gut wrench powerbomb and earned
the pinfall victory!
