CMLL’s Rugido vs. Claudio Castagnoli
Rampage kicked off with Claudio Castagnoli taking on CMLL’s Rugido. The pair had a twelve-minute back-and-forth affair with Claudio victorious after his patented Gotch-style piledriver. After the match, the two shook hands before Claudio hit Rugido with a low blow. This brought out Magnus (Rugido’s partner) who chased Claudio off with a chair.
Castagnoli throws down a reverse card and counters into the GIANT SWING!

Ruby Soho & Angelo Parker
Ruby & Ange were about to go on their date with cameras in tow when Saraya and Harley Cameron interrupted, distracting the new couple and allowing Saraya’s brother Zak Zodiac to sneak up from behind and attack Parker.
Ruby Soho and Angelo Parker have invited AEW Cameras with them on their date tonight, so let's hope wherever they decided to go, it's a BIG HIT!

Mark Henry and the Main Event
Mark Henry made his first Rampage appearance in quite some time to announce the night’s main event of Matt Sydal taking on CMLL’s Magnus. Sydal attempted to shake Magnus’ hand before the match began but Magnus kicked it away as Nigel McGuinness noted on commentary that the CMLL crew was unhappy with the “Americans” to which Matt Menard exclaimed, “Claudio isn’t even American!”
Sydal UNLOADED with that last kick!
