AEW Rampage Results
July 14, 2023
SaskTel Centre – Saskatoon, SK

By: John Kleinchester

 

Naturally Limitless vs. Daddy Magic & Angelo Parker

Rampage kicked off with Dustin Rhodes & Keith Lee taking on Matt Menard & Angelo Parker. Keith Lee picked up the win in just under ten minutes with a Supernova. 

QTV

QT Marshall said that everything was fine – he apologized to Hobbs right away and he was going to fix everything “tomorrow”, seemingly indicating a Collision segment. Harley Cameron then threw to a video of Johnny TV challenging The Acclaimed & Daddy Ass to a match against him, QT, and Aaron Solo (presumably) next week on Rampage.

Taya Gets a Title Shot

Taya Valkyrie squashed local talent Izzy McQueen in under thirty seconds. After the match, Toni Storm and Saraya came down to the ring and claimed that Taya has been losing a lot because she was a loser and she was a loser because she was Canadian. Toni Storm then claimed that she has already beaten everyone to which Taya retorted that they had wrestled. Taya then challenged Storm to a title match at tomorrow night’s Battle of the Belts in Calgary.

Hook Wines & Dines

A video aired of Hook dining outside and drinking wine on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Hook said he was done chasing Jack Perry and challenged him to an FTW Championship match next week on Dynamite from Boston.

Return of the Murderhawk

Lance Archer made his return (accompanied by Jake The Snake Roberts) taking on Trent Beretta. Lance immediately jumped Beretta and dominated him for most of the match. Trent then briefly got the upper hand only to have Jake Roberts attack him behind the referee’s back.

The two traded back-and-forth offense until Archer hit a running knee in the corner, his Blackout finisher, and a lariat for the win.

After the match, Lance attacked Chuck Taylor as well and then got on the mic and called out Orange Cassidy and challenged him for his International Championship tomorrow night at Battle of the Belts. The announcers confirmed this match was on and Jake Roberts stole Cassidy’s backpack with the title and said he’d have to get it back Saturday. 

The Royal Rampage Returns

A dueling backstage video with Sonjay Dutt, Jay Lethal, Satnam Singh, and Jeff & Karen Jarrett intercut with Matt Hardy, Brother Zay, and Ethan Page aired with them announcing that the Royal Rampage would be returning next week and would seemingly feature at least all of the two warring sides with more to come. An interesting note here was that Jay Lethal seemed perturbed and somewhat disillusioned with what his stablemates were going on about.

Takeshita vs. Mentallo

A match featuring Takeshita taking on local talent Mentallo began when Don Callis immediately got in the ring and claimed that Takeshita’s opponent was Kenny Omega’s childhood friend and training partner. Callis asked Mentallo if he knew the Japanese word for “kill” which Callis then screamed out as Takeshita began his attack. Mentallo got some offense in and Takeshita was favoring his knee but ultimately won with a senton from the top rope. 

 

Dark Order Ressurection

Renee Paquette interviewed the Dark Order backstage and John Silver said that Hangman Adam Page deserved what he got last week because he abandoned them. Alex Reynolds said that last week was Dark Order’s resurrection.  

Owen Hart Foundation Semi-Final

The main event of the night saw ROH Women’s Champion Athena taking on Willow Nightingale in the Semi-Final round of the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament. Ahead of the match, Excalibur noted that Athena hadn’t lost since Grand Slam last September. The two had a competitive, back-and-forth match. During the commercial break, Athena worked over Willow’s knee extensively. Nightingale picked up the win when Athena missed a kick falling right into position for Willow to get the pin.
