We knew this yr’s Royal Rampage would give us one half of the AEW World title match at Sept. 25’s Grand Slam present in New York Metropolis. What we didn’t know is that it will additionally set-up an enormous match for the promotion’s new babyface sensation… (checks notes) Jeff Jarrett.
As soon as the mud was settled on the battle royal that opened the July 26 Rampage, we had each of these issues.
Jarrett, Brian Cage, Darby Allin, Claudio Castagnoli, Orange Cassidy, Brody King, Komander, Brian Cage, Tomohiro Ishii, The Butcher, Roderick Robust, Matt Menard, Brandon Cutler, Kyle O’Reilly, Jeff Jarrett, Matt Taven, Jay Deadly, Kip Sabian, Mike Bennett, Nick Wayne, and Lio Rush all participated within the third Royal Rampage. After 17 eliminations, these first 4 names have been the final 4 wrestlers within the ring.
Double-J was the following to go. However whereas Cage threw him excessive rope, credit score for his elimination ought to go to somebody who wasn’t even within the match — Hangman Web page. Points between Web page and Jarrett return to the Owen Hart Basis Event, and so they flared again up this previous Wednesday throughout Dynamite’s Blood & Guts primary occasion when The Final Outlaw freed Swerve Strickland after Hangman had handcuffed him to the cage.
Now, they’ve gone nuclear. Jarrett was working over Castagnoli within the nook when Web page hit the ring and punched him proper within the face. The Indignant Millennial Cowboy’s continued, pausing solely so he might get in a shouting match with Karen Jarrett whereas The Machine eradicated her husband.
After that, Claudio received a battle on the apron with Cage, hitting him with a Neutralizer earlier than rolling him out. The Blackpool Fight Membership strongman took his time caring for Allin, although. It price him when Darby hit Castagnoli with a Coffin Drop as he was draped over the ropes, sending Allin to a Grand Slam World title shot and large Swiss to the ground.
It’s the second straight Royal Rampage win for Harmful Darbs. For this one, Allin wins the fitting to problem whoever’s holding AEW’s high prize come late September. That figures to be the winner of All In’s showdown between reigning champ Strickland and Owen Cup winner Bryan Danielson, however Tony Khan nonetheless has All Out to guide between the London present and Grand Slam, so there are numerous transferring components to the AEW title scene proper now.
And who is aware of? If he can rating an upset within the one-on-one match with Hangman we appear to be headed towards, we’d even see Jeff Jarrett within the combine…
