CMLL Debuts on AEW
Rampage began with the “Mexico’s Best Pound for Pound Crown” Match between CMLL World Historic Welterweight Champion Rocky “Azucar” Romero and the CMLL World Historic Middleweight Champion Místico. Excalibur explained that this match would be two out of three falls as is tradition in CMLL. The first fall went to Místico by tap out at 2:40. Romero then began tearing at Místico’s mask as the show went to its first commercial break.
Mistico wins the first fall via submission!

Winner Gets an International Title Shot
Next was John Silver vs. Kip Sabian vs. Brother Zay with the winner going on to face Orange Cassidy for the International Championship. Silver had Reynolds and Uno with him and Sabian had Penelope Ford, The Butcher, and The Blade but Brother Zay was solo for this match. Zay’s star definitely shined brightest for much of this match with him hitting a number of impressive moves including a big splash onto everyone arguing on the outside.
Kip Sabian takes flight and immediately starts a donnybrook!

FKA: JAS
Renee Paquette interviewed the former JAS backstage and they all started arguing until Jake Hager had enough and said he didn’t give up his hat for this. Anna Jay said if they wanted to win the Trios titles this Saturday they had to squash their beef. Menard told Garcia that he hates the dance but he loves him and to consider it squashed.
“If we want to win this Saturday, you need to SQUASH IT.”

Skye Blue vs. Ruby Soho
Skye Blue continued her ruthless, serious streak that began when she was misted in the eyes by Julia Hart. Ruby Soho was accompanied to the ring by Saraya who had the green spray paint with her and quickly got involved in the match. Skye Blue was able to flick out of the No Future but Saraya was able to hit Blue twice with the can of spray paint allowing Soho to pick up the win. After the match, The Outcasts continued the beatdown on Skye Blue only to have Kris Statlander come out to run them off. Statlander then helped Skye Blue up but Blue bailed out of the ring and wanted nothing to do with her.
TBS Champion Kris Statlander sprints to the ring to even the odds, but Skye Blue refuses her help!
