A Night of Thrills and Spills in Indianapolis
Anticipation is building for this Friday’s AEW Rampage, and for those who can’t wait, here’s a glimpse of what went down during the tapings in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Before the main show even began, the audience was treated to a dark match where Johnny TV showcased his prowess against Brandon Cutler, emerging victorious.
The spotlight then shifted to Penta El Zero Miedo and Jay Lethal, who clashed in a high-stakes Grand Slam World Title eliminator quarterfinal bout. Penta demonstrated why he’s one of the best, securing a win and advancing further in the tournament.
The ongoing tension between Sammy Guevara and Chris Jericho reached a boiling point. After a video package recapped their recent disagreements, Guevara took to the ring, challenging Jericho, who was on commentary duties. The outcome? A mutual agreement for a face-off at Grand Slam, with the added twist of later teaming up for a shot at the AEW Tag Team titles.
In a six-woman tag team match, Hikaru Shida, Skye Blue, and Britt Baker teamed up against Taya Valkyrie, Anna Jay, and The Bunny. The match had its share of drama, with Baker locking in a lockjaw on The Bunny for the win. However, a mid-match altercation between Baker and Shida hinted at potential future confrontations.
The Young Bucks, ever the crowd-pleasers, delivered another stellar performance, besting the duo of Daddy Magic Matt Menard and Cool Hand Angelo Parker, who had Jake Hager in their corner.
The evening’s action-packed card concluded with a Grand Slam World Title eliminator quarterfinal match. Samoa Joe and Jeff Hardy battled it out, with Joe clinching the win. His reward? A face-off against Penta in the upcoming Collision event this Saturday.
