This…is…Rampage!
ROH World Champion Mark Briscoe of The Conglomeration
vs. The Butcher!
Briscoe hit the Butcher with his redneck Kungfu. Mark Briscoe threw his body through the ropes and wiped out the Butcher on the arena floor.
“Mark Briscoe smashed the Butcher against that barricade,” said Excalibur.
The Butcher steamrolled Briscoe with a running lariat for a near fall. Butcher and Briscoe traded chops. Butcher hit a release vertical suplex and then a leg drop. Briscoe drove Butcher down with three elbow strikes. Briscoe drilled Butcher with a Death Valley Driver. Mark Briscoe went for the Froggy Bow, but Butcher rolled out of the way.
The Butcher nailed Briscoe with a back breaker and then a jackhammer, but Briscoe kicked out at the two-count! Briscoe rallied back with the Froggy Bow and scored the 1-2-3!
“What momentum Mark Briscoe continues to build heading into Dynamite next week against Chris Jericho in a Ladder War!” said Excalibur.
The Conglomeration’s Kyle O’Reilly (with “Freshly Squeezed” Orange Cassidy)
vs. Aaron Solo!
Kyle got a leg capture and then clobbered Solo with open palm strikes. Kyle kicked Solo across the upper chest. Kyle grounded and pounded Solo and followed up with a sliding knee strike to Solo’s spine.
Solo served up an offensive flurry on Kyle. Kyle clobbered Solo with kicks and knee strikes, softening up Solo. Kyle applied a hanging guillotine and forced Aaron Solo to tap out!
Kyle: “Okada! I want you Okada! I want the Kazuchika Okada that main evented the Tokyo Dome, not the Young Bucks’ young boy. O’Reilly versus Okada, Battle of the Belts, Continental Championship! What do you say?”
“The Virtuosa” Deonna Purrazzo and Taya Valkyrie had some words about family.
Deonna: “Take care of the people closest to you. And if you want to hurt someone, you take out those they love the most.”
Taya: “You think this is new? This thing between us was forged long ago. If you come for her, you’ll have to deal with me.”
Anna Jay vs. Trish Adora (with The Infantry)!
AEW Women’s World Champion “The Glamour” Mariah May joined the broadcast booth for this match.
Anna Jay snap suplexed Trish. Trish fired back with an elbow strike. Anna connected with a dropkick. Anna yanked Trish off the top turnbuckle and followed up with a flipping neck breaker for a near fall.
Trish rocked Anna with a German Suplex, but Anna kicked out at the two-count. Anna rallied back with a back stabber and then planted Trish face first, scoring the pin!
Mariah May: “Let’s hear it for Anna Jay! Anna, you should really buy me dinner, because at Battle of the Belts, you’ll be on your knees, crying and screaming my name!”
Renee Paquette was backstage with Harley Cameron ahead of her match against Kris Statlander on Collision!
Renee: “Where is Saraya?”
Harley: “She’s still incapacitated. But I’ve got a lot to offer. I can sing, I wrestle, I speak Chinese. I am multifaceted. And I’m versatile so I’m prepared for Kris Statlander tomorrow!”
