Rampage kicked off swiftly with Jon Moxley versus Sammy Guevara. Early in the match, Jon Moxley’s ear was busted open and Sammy Guevara focused heavily on it. At one point Sammy licked his blood-covered hand. Shortly after that, with blood on his mouth – Sammy made out with Tay Melo who had also been pulling on Mox’s ear behind the referee’s back.

Moxley won via submission and immediately called out Adam Page who obliged. Mox and Page brawl with the security staff attempting to stop Page. Adam Page attempts a Buckshot Lariat but can only take out a security staff member.

A video package of Saraya aired where she said that she’s coming for the AEW Women’s Championship. They also hit on the fact that Britt Baker & Jamie Hayter challenged Saraya and a partner of her choosing for January 4th.

FTR was in the ring to cut a promo about how they feel like they’ve let the fans down over the last few weeks.  They then set their sights on The Gunns saying that they will be squaring off this Wednesday at Dynamite.

A promo package aired with Jade Cargill and The Baddies with Cargill telling Bow Wow that the next time he interferes in her business, her lawyer Mark Sterling will be in contact.

Dr. Britt Baker defeated Skye Blue. After the bell, Baker was still going after Blue when Hikaru Shida made the save. Shida took out Baker with a kendo stick and then went face-to-face with Jamie Hayter.

A Jim Ross sit-down interview with Preston Vance aired where Vance talked about being hand-picked by Brodie Lee and that a “10-year-old boy wasn’t his boss anymore”. He called Negative One a snot-nose brat and said “it’s time to grow up”.

Wardlow defeated Exodus Prime in a squash. After the match Wardlow addressed Samoa Joe telling him to come out. Joe appeared on the TitanTron and counter-offered with a match at New Year’s Smash on December 28th in Broomfield, CO.

Best Friends, Orange Cassidy and Dustin Rhodes defeated Butcher & The Blade, Kip Sabian and Trent Seven. During the match, The Bunny and Penelope Ford attempted to interfere in the match which led to both Orange Cassidy and Danhausen feigning low blows (Eddie Guerrero style) which led to a referee ejection.
