MxM Blindside The Acclaimed
The Acclaimed were out next but were jumped on the ramp by MxM Collection. MxM ripped Caster’s jacket that they had designed and smashed Bowens’ head into the entrance tunnel. Mansoor got on the mic and yelled that The Acclaimed took their Grand Slam moment away and challenged them to a match tomorrow night at WrestleDream and they would take Acclaimed’s spot. They said that they were going to have a “very special surprise” third man and he is going to make sure that they “kill scissoring and burying it once and for all”.

Conglomeratin’
Renee Paquette interviewed The Conglomeration and asked how Rocky Romero felt going into his match against Bryan Keith. Romero said that he wasn’t a lackey like Chris Jericho said this past Wednesday. Romero asked Cassidy and O’Reilly to stay in the back so he could handle business.
Was “The Learning Tree” Chris Jericho able to get into the head of Rocky Romero?

Kris Statlander “In Action”
Kris Statlander defeated Amira in under a minute as Kamille watched on from backstage. The previous Mercedes interview made it seem like Kamille would be ringside for this match but for some reason that didn’t happen.
How long can Stat hold her up there??

Mortos picked up the victory by using a backbreaker and then a flying twisting headbutt for the victory. Interesting to note that Mortos used a backbreaker playing into the story that Roderick Strong still feels he has a claim to Mortos’ allegiance. Jake “The Snake” Roberts was also shown backstage, pressed with Mortos’ win.
Harley Blames Anna Jay
Next, Renee Paquette conducted yet another interview backstage in which Harley Cameron blamed Anna Jay for what happened to Saraya, despite her not even being there.

Final Thoughts
One has to wonder how many episodes of Rampage are left at this point and if they are indeed sunsetting the brand, will they let it peter out or will they try to build up to a big grand finale? As of now, it seems like they are content letting it fizzle as even the matches lately have just been decent. In the past, there have been really great matches on this show, and lately, it’s a deflating watch.
