AEW Rampage 4/8/22

We are still in Beantown, USA, and if any of the rumors are true, we are here for one heck of a Rampage show tonight.

Match #1. Trent? vs. Bryan Danielson

Entrances on YouTube before the show and we’re starting the show with the bell ringing. Danielson with the better of the exchanges early but Trent delivers a running back elbow and a kick to the back. Danielson looks offended at the thought. “You’re Gonna Get Your F***** Kicked!” chant by the Boston crowd, a throw back to Danielson’s Ring of Honor career. Both men trade some stiff chops but Danielson quickly looks for a jumping guillotine. Trent with a release Northern Lights suplex and he dumps Danielson over the top with a victory roll like maneuver from the electric chair. Trent looks for a plancha on the outside by Danielson catches him with a kick to the body in midair. Danielson tries a suicide dive but Trent catches him and hits a Saito suplex on the floor! Trent looks to follow up with a spear but he eats the steps and Danielson is back in control. Danielson is focusing on the neck here and hits a snap front headlock suplex for a two count. Danielson goes up top but Trent catches him and hits a BIG superplex from the very top rope! Both men trading heavy chops in the center of the ring now as Danielson misses an enziguiri… dead lift German suplex by Trent! Running elbow in the corner but Danielson still has some fight in him. Danielson catches him, arm trap… Regal Plex! Two count! Danielson locks in a Dragon Sleeper as Taz and Regal talk about Tatsumi Fujinami and the creation of the move. Kravat by Danielson as he delivers some strong knees. Danielson looks for the running knee in the corner but he misses and Trent catches him with the swinging DDT! Two count! Trent puts Danielson on the top rope and follows him up, but Danielson crotches him and looks for an avalanche back suplex! Trent shifts his weight in mid air and comes crashing down on Danielson… hard! Two count. Both men slowly get to their feet and they trade elbows and chops in the center. Trent ducks a strike and hits a half and half suplex followed by a lariat! One, two… no! These two are FIGHTING. Trent beating Danielson down with elbows but Trent takes his time… Psycho Knee by Danielson! Gotch style piledriver by Danielson! Danielson shakes his finger. We’re not done yet. Danielson grabs double wrist control and stomps Trent until he’s unconscious. Danielson now looks for the Labell lock, but adds a neck wrench to the finish and that’s it. The entire match, Danielson was working on Trent’s neck and the commentators sold the neck surgery the whole match. Another fantastic outing by Bryan Danielson and this was reminiscent of Trent’s NJPW heavyweight singles run. Great stuff.

Winner: Bryan Danielson

Rating: ***3/4

Hook is in the back and Danhausen jumps out of the trash can! “Gotcha this time!” Hook throws his chips at him.

Scorpio Sky, who I admittedly forgot was the TNT Champion, is in the ring with Dan Lambert and EGO. Sky says he bravely got rid of the TNT open challenge, but here comes Sammy. Sammy says Sky is making the title mean absolutely nothing. Lambert says he’s not fluent in Tay’s broken English, but he’s a father and the father in him thinks Sammy and Tay’s parents have suffered enough embarrassment for a lifetime. Guevara isn’t here for a lecture but he’s here to fight. EGO says he’s a big money wrestler and Sammy and Tay are a walking PR disaster. EGO says he hopes his daughter doesn’t turn out like Tay Conti. Sammy says he doesn’t care about EGO’s kid and he’ll be out here every week until they get their fight.

Match #2. Swerve vs. QT Marshall

QT with a big shoulder block early and Swerve traps the knee and takes control. Pair of arm drags and a jackknife cover by Swerve for two. QT dumps Swerve outside but he lands on his feet. Sunset flip by Swerve and QT bails to the outside, but he eats a pump kick. Back in the ring and QT ducks behind Swerve and lands a clothesline. Referee is tired of the interference and kicks the rest of the Nightmare Academy out… and we’re headed to commercial break. Swerve is in control after the break with a diving European uppercut to a seated QT. Swerve looking for the half nelson but QT hits the pop up right hand. Diamond Cutter sign! Swerve evades and hits a bottom rope assisted dropkick to the knee! Rolling Thunder flatliner followed by the back heel kick and that’s it. Dominant win by Swerve which is what it needed to be.

Winner: Swerve

Rating: **

Red Velvet hits the ropes but Willow hits the other side and lands a POUNCE! Cannonball by Willow… two count! Crowd is not happy with that. Velvet reverses a sunset flip and there’s a bit of an awkward exchange that ends with Velvet hitting another spinning back kick and that’s enough to get it done. Really strong showing for Willow here, but Red Velvet seems to be struggling a little bit.

Winner: Red Velvet

Rating: ****1/4

Regal and Danielson are here as Yuta is waking up. Yuta is on his knees but he’s calling the entire Blackpool Combat Club over for a fight! Arena is chanting “Shake his hand!” Regal DOES extend his hand to Yuta. Yuta obliges. Danielson and Moxley both give Yuta props as we go off the air.

Final Thoughts: Not much more you can ask for in a one-hour TV show. Bookended by Trent vs. Danielson and Moxley vs. Yuta, with some storyline advancement in the middle? You’ve got me hooked. This is what people expect from Rampage and for good reason. Looking forward to next week’s big events! 9/10.
