Hello my dear friends, Lee Sanders back with you all on this somber Friday. What a rough week for the community as we lost two great ones in Terry Funk and Bray Wyatt. This weekend marks AEW ALL IN at the Wembley Stadium but I got to admit that it is the last thing on my mind right now. Nevertheless, we’re going to somehow put a smile on your face for the next hour with tonight’s AEW RAMPAGE. On behalf of myself and everyone here at 411Mania, condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of Terry Funk and Bray Wyatt.
Location: Lexington, KY
Arena: Rupp Arena
Commentators: Excalibur, and Tony Schiavone
Aaron with a kick to the midsection before transitioning to a headlock. Cassidy reverses it and applies a headlock of his own as we continue to see both men exchange headlock holds. Nice side lock-headlock takedown by Cassidy as Aaron counters with a pair of leg scissors for a submission hold. Cassidy escapes with an Ultimo Dragon head stance before taking Solo out with an arm drag while his hands are in his pockets. Cassidy gives chase as Harley Cameron interferes. Cassidy with his trademark kicks to her ankles as Solo pushes her out the way in anticipation of Cassidy’s superkick. Solo swings and misses as he almost hits Harley. Cassidy takes advantage by doing a tope, before taking to the top and is tripped by Cameron. This gives Solo the opening he needs as we head into our first set of ad breaks. We are back as it’s been a back-and-fourth match so far folks. Cassidy ramming Solo’s head multiple times on the turnbuckle pad. Cassidy with a crossbody on Solo from the top rope. Cassidy tries looking for the orange punch and the beach break but no luck. We are seeing some really great chain wrestling as Cassidy plants Solo with a spinning ddt! Pin attempt made as Solo kicks out! Harley starts singing as Solo takes advantage with a spinning kick and an almost botched falcon arrow. Solo for the double stomp from the top as he tries for the pin. The champion kicks out as Harley gets in the ring and tries to deck him with her boot. Referee catches her and ejects from the ring as Solo hits Cassidy in the face with the boot. Solo with the cover as somehow Cassidy kicks out. Series of pin reversals as Solo connects with the orange punch and beach break for the win.
Winner:Orange Cassidy (15 minutes)
Rating: **
Decent opener.
Jim Ross is interviewing QT Marshall as Marshall talks about how he is not just a pro, but the pro in professional wrestling. Marshall was taught to be a good soldier, and stay in line. He gives the Triple A promotion props for believing in him and giving him the opportunities to step up and get all that he’s ever wanted. QT is irritated to find he’s not on any posters, no toys made of him as he’s looking to get the respect he feels he so rightfully deserves. Poor baby!
Gotta admit, especially with the way QT is dressed as he’s pushing Mexican colors, he’s looking like Chavo Guerrero. QT is very poorly speaking in Spanish but credit for trying as he’s inviting Gravity to leave the ring. Gravity begs to differ as he slaps him silly! Nice arm drag takedown followed by a dropkick as QT is sent outside. Gravity goes over the top rope to crash into QT, almost hurting his head and neck in the process. Gravity to the top rope as QT catches him with a right hand. QT follows up with big forearm strikes to the challenger. Gravity counters or at least tries to as QT catches him from off the apron and powerbombs him onto the side apron of the ring. We are back as QT drops Garvity to the canvas. Gravity comes back with a rollup or to for a kickout. QT put in a package destroyer as Gravity came close to becoming the new champion. Gravity with a clothesline as he tries for another air assault. QT catches him from the middle rope and sets him up for a knee to the back/face driven to canvas combo. Gravity reverses a suplex for another pin attempt as QT kicks out. Gravity now with a series of thrusts kicks as he lands a back suplex with bridge. It’s a nice pin attempt, a 21 plex attempt as QT kicks out. QT with a big lariat as he sets up Gravity for a Diamond cutter from the top rope. Gravity reverses it and is countering with a series of uppercuts. Gravity connects with a fireman’s carry! Gravity with the cover as the champion is still in this one. QT catches Gravity out of nowhere with a Diamond cutter and the dirt sheet driver to retain.
Winner:QT Marshall (10 minutes)

The boys put on a decent match here. I’ll give them that but I don’t care if QT does an iron man match for an hour, can’t change the fact that he’s at most a lower mid card guy. Nothing wrong with that but this match was decent.
Dark Order is back with another vignette talking about how they aren’t bad guys, they are actually good. They continue talking about how they are going to all about themselves from here on out. Dark Order promises to go back to their evil roots that made them a force to reckon with in the past. We shall see…
Rhett with a clothesline on Luchasaurus as the monster comes right back and catches him with a clothesline! A chokeslam follows up as fans are chanting where is Luchasaurus’ championship? Meanwhile, another clothesline to the back of the head of Jones to pick up the victory.
Winner:Luchasaurus (50 seconds)
Rating:NR
SQUASH..SQUASH…SQUASH!
We are back as Motormouth Excalibur runs down Saturday’s Collision and ALL IN for this weekend and a few matches for ALL OUT. Someone give that man some oxygen!
Outcasts does a good job in this one distracting the referee to do a ton of shenanigans before Kris Statlander finally comes out to pickup Ruby and carry her out the arena while Ruby’s on her shoulders! Some funny stuff here as we head into our final set of ad breaks. We are back as Saraya tosses Britt back into the ring as Storm is tagged. Storm with a kick to Britt’s head. Britt comes back with a couple of strikes as Storm knees her in the midsection. Britt sent into the ropes and uses the momentum to connect with a neckbreaker. This gives her the opening she needs to tag in Shida. Shida with a shot to Saraya and a jumping knee strike to Storm. Storm is tossed off Shida’s back as Shida back suplexes Saraya onto Storm! Shida tries to go for the cover on Storm as somehow she kicks out. Storm and Shida now trading strikes as Shida connects with an enziguri. Britt comes in and takes a back suplex as Sarah is tagged in now. Saraya tosses Britt into the corner and physically makes Britt tag Shida so that she’s the legal woman. Storm with a couple of hip attacks on Shida and Baker. Outcasts with a powerbomb on Baker as Shida breaks the pin attempt. All four women deliver thrust kicks to one another as all four are down. All four women come to their feet and are slugging it out as Shida delivers the falcon arrow to Saraya, and Britt with the neckbreaker now. Storm makes the save to have the match continue. Britt calls for the lockjaw as Saraya grabs the ref’s leg while, Storm sprays Shida in the face! At the same time Britt superkicks Storm out of the ring while a blind Shida wildly decks Baker to the mat! Saraya capitalizes with the Knightcap for the win.
Winner:Outcasts (10 minutes)
Rating: **
Decent main event.

Torture
The 411
I’ve been doing this now for almost two years. Very rare I’m at a lost for words given the circumstances. I’ll do my best here but this show for the most part was a fairly decent one. For fans of QT, RAMPAGE could continue being the show for him and Tony Khan to experiment on the QT character and fine-tune more. It’s okay if you missed this episode as overall it was a skippable one. I’m sure there’s going to be people that don’t care for a title from another promotion being defended on AEW programming and I get it folks, I do. Luchasaurus continuing to come out without his title is hilarious as Christian continues finding his stride in the fourth quarter of his career. Shoutout to those that were at this taping as sadly after DYNAMITE was over this past Wednesday, folks had to sit through a full taping for RING OF HONOR and RAMPAGE, and for bonus matches. This all went every late into the night as many empty seats were forthcoming after DYNAMITE was over. As result, fans had to be moved closer to ringside to make the hard cameras look pretty good. From what I learned from those in attendance, the women’s tag match particularly was the worst. That speaks volumes considering how decent it came off on tv this week. Not sure why these shows weren’t filmed earlier in the day sat at a start time of 5pm and Dynamite starting at 8pm. Hopefully this was a rare occurrence cause if it’s a regular thing…WOOF!
