New matches made for next AEW Rampage & Collision

Posted on by Josh Nason

The road to All In is nearly completed with two matches now set for next weekend’s televised AEW action.

This Friday’s AEW Rampage will see current AEW Trios Champion Nick Wayne take on Kip Sabian, made during a backstage segment on Saturday’s Collision.

Sabian, who has wrestled just four times this year, has drawn the ire of The Patriarchy over the last month by just being backstage while Wayne, Christian Cage and Killswitch are around. Wayne was beaten up by Killswitch after a recent interview.

It’s Sabian’s first singles match since last December and Wayne’s first since May.

On the Collision front, MxM Collection will make their return to AEW as they face Top Flight.

Darius & Dante Martin wanted the match against Mansoor & Mason Madden on Saturday, but Mansoor claimed he had broke a nail and was not “cosmetically cleared to compete.”

The new duo on the scene made their AEW debut last month on Collision in a loss to FTR before picking up a win over Private Party the following Friday on Rampage.

Here’s all that has been announced for next weekend thus far:

AEW Rampage:

  • Nick Wayne vs. Kip Sabian

AEW Collision

  • Top Flight (Darius & Dante Martin) vs. MxM Collection (Mason Madden & Mansoor)

AEW Rampage live results: Darby Allin vs. The Butcher

Posted on by Joseph Collins

Darby Allin will be in action on tonight’s AEW Rampage.

Allin will face The Butcheras he looks to continue his roll ahead of his challenge of Jack Perry for the TNT Championship at All In, followed by his challenge for the AEW World Championship at Dynamite Grand Slam in late-September.

This will be their third-ever meeting with Allin unbeaten thus far (2-0).

Blackpool Combat Club’s Wheeler Yuta will take on Rocky Romero ahead of his non-title match with AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland on this Wednesday’s Dynamite. Bryan Danielson will be on commentary.

In a battle of former Women’s World Champions, Saraya will face Nyla Rose.

Private Party (Isiah Kassidy & Marq Quen) will face two enhancement talents and we will also hear from new ROH Six-Man Tag Team Champion Dustin Rhodes on tonight’s program.

This week’s Rampage was taped Wednesday in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Spoilers from the show are available here.

**********

Taped in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

An “In Memoriam” graphic for Kevin Sullivan opened the show.

Excalibur, Tony Schiavone and Matt Menard were on commentary.

Darby Allin defeated The Butcher (10:24)

An actual star wrestling on Rampage. 

Butcher started out fast and slammed Allin into the ropes, then pulled him out of the corner for a modified powerbomb. Allin was bleeding from the mouth less than a minute in. The fight went to the floor, where Butcher sent Allin into the steps and stepped on his head. Allin avoided a crossbody against the ring barricade, then came off the top to the floor with the Coffin Drop. 

Back in the ring, Allin came off the top for a crossbody, but he just bounced off the Butcher. Butcher followed up with a shotgun dropkick. Butcher tossed Allin through the ropes to the floor. 

After a split-screen break, Butcher locked Allin in a Texas Cloverleaf. Just as Allin was making the ropes, Butcher pulled Allin up into a powerbomb for another near fall. Butcher propped Allin up on the ropes and then slapped him to the floor. On the floor, Butcher slung Allin’s head into the ring barricade, powerbombed him into the post, then back suplexed him on the edge of the ring barricade. 

Allin came back with a tope suicida that barely caught Butcher. Back in the ring, Allin hit a pair of Coffin Splashes in the corner. He went for a thirdCoffin Splash, but Butcher countered with a sleeper, then a powerbomb for a near fall. 

Butcher set up Allin for a superplex, but Allin countered with an avalanche Code Red, Allin followed up with a Coffin Drop and got the pinfall.

– Rush and Don Callis were not happy about Rush’s loss on Dynamite Wednesday. Callis booked Rush a match with Preston Vance (remember him?) to prove that Rush will dowhatever it takes to be the best. Callis just doesn’t want a victory, he wants Vance hurt. 

Preston Vance?

– Last Wednesday after Dynamite, Jeff Jarrett was putting himself over to Renee Paquette, then Adam Page started a fight with Jarrett and his pals. Afterwards, Jay Lethal challenged Page for Wednesday on Dynamite. 

Wheeler Yuta (w/ Bryan Danielson) defeated  Rocky “Azucar” Romero (9:53) 

Danielson joined the commentary team for the match. 

Lots of matwork to start. Both guys exchanged side headlocks until Yuta caught Romero with a backdrop suplex. Yuta backed Romero into the corner for some chops, but Romero fired back. Yuta sidestepped a charge from Romero to send him to the floor, then followed up with a tope suicida. 

During the commercial break, Yuta caught a sliced bread #2 on the floor. Back in the ring, Romero worked a chinlock as Swerve Strickland was shown watching from the back. Romero hit the forever clothclines until Yuta came out of the corner and took Romero out with a lariat. After both guys exchanged chops, Yuta hit a reverse atomic drop and an enziguri. 

Yuta went to the top rope, but Romero cut him off. Romero hit a top rope hurricanrana, then hit a Sliced Bread inside the ring for two. Romero tried it again, but Yuta countered with a cross legged tombstone piledriver. Romeo is dead, and after the hammer and tong elbows, Yuta locked in Cattle Mutilation for the submission. Great showcase for Yuta. 

– Renee Paquette interviewed Willow Nightingale. Nightingale expressed her annoyance with Stokley Hathaway. Tomohiro Ishii interrupted to mention he’s annoyed by Hathaway too, and this gave Nightingale an idea. To be continued… at Wembley? 

Private Party defeated  Dave Dawson & Zane Dawson (3:57)

During this match, Tony Schiavone called Wednesday’s Dynamite card “loaded,” which is an exaggeration on the level with him calling 1999 Nitros the greatest night in the history of our sport. Wednesday’s card currently has two squash matches and a face-to-face between Claudio Castignoli & Kazuchika Okada.

Quen did a great job building up a bodyslam spot with the much larger Zane Dawson. Zay caught Dave Dawson with a rana and the Silly String. Zay hit one of the Dawson brothers with a stunner and a sliced bread, then they double teamed  the other with the Gin and Juice and got the pinfall. Back to the creek for the Dawsons. 

– Deonna Purrazzo hyped up her bullrope match with Thunder Rosa tomorrow night.

– Dustin Rhodes cut a promo about his winning the ROH World Six Man Titles, his first title in AEW. Then Rhodes teamed with Sammy Guevara in ROH. Rhodes challenged the ROH World Tag Team champions. Matt Taven and Mike Bennett responded with a low kick to Rhodes. Rhodes and Guevara v. the ROH tag champs would have been a good match for that ROH ppv two weeks ago.

Saraya (w/ Harley Cameron) defeated Nyla Rose (10:33) 

Saraya attacked Rose from behind as she was distracted by Cameron and she fell to the floor. Back in the ring. Saraya went for a sleeper but Rose shrugged her off. Saraya worked over Rose with some forearms in the corner, but Rose reversed it into some body shots. Saraya dropped to the floor. Rose followed her out, and Saraya tied her up in the ring apron to take control. 

After a long commercial, Saraya tried for a sunset flip, but Rose sat on her for a near fall. Rose hit a clothesline, a side suplex and a senton. Rose went for a splash, but Saraya got her knees up. Saraya hit a knee strike and the Nightcap for a near fall. Cameron called for the “Turn the Page” and Saraya shouted “That’s not what it’s called anymore.” Rose came back with a thrust kick for a near fall. Rose and Saraya took each other out with a double clothesline. 

Rose hit a chokeslam, but Cameron got on the apron to distract the ref. This drew Rose to the outside. Saraya tried to sneak up behind Rose, but she caught Saraya with a forearm. Rose tried to suplex Saraya back into the ring, but Cameron swept Rose’s legs and Saraya fell on top of Rose. Cameron held onto Rose’s legs and Saraya got the pinfall. The Warrior/Rude finish from WrestleMania V! Love it! 

After the match, Schiavone ran down the card for Collision: 

  • FTR v. The Outrunners 
  • House of Black v. The Bang Bang Gang 
  • Thunder Rosa v. Deonna Purrazzo in a Bullrope Match 
  • Rush v. Preston Vance 
  • Hikaru Shida in action 
  • Darby Alllin & Hologram v. The Premiere Athletes 
  • And Swerve Strickland in an eliminator match. 

They probably should have promoted an appearance from the world champion before 10:59 on Friday night.

In the 18-49 demo, Rampage drew a 0.07 rating, down 30 percent from last week. This ties two other episodes that aired outside of Rampage’s regular time slot for the lowest rating in show history.

Rampage aired against Olympics coverage on NBC, USA Network, and Peacock on Friday night. The Olympics ranked first on both network and cable television.

As compared to the same week in 2023, Rampage’s overall viewership was down 51.8 percent while its 18-49 rating was down 50 percent.

The MxM duo of Mason Madden & Mansoor will take on Private Party’s Isiah Kassidy & Marq Quen in the lone tag team bout on tonight’s episode. MxM Collection made their in-ring ROH debut at the Death Before Dishonor pre-show last Friday, and followed up with their AEW debut on Saturday’s Collision against FTR.

A match with Brian Cage of Cage of Agony facing enhancement talent Manny Lo was taped for the show, advertised just as Brian Cage in action.

The Learning Tree’s Bryan Keith will also face an enhancement talent on the show, as he goes one-on-one with Jackson Drake.

Wheeler Yuta vs. The Butcher in singles competition rounds out the five-match lineup for the show.

Tonight’s episode was taped Wednesday night in Greenville, South Carolina. Spoilers for the show are available here.

**********

Taped in Greenville, South Carolina.

Excalibur, Matt Menard and Tony Schiavone were on commentary. 

Wheeler Yuta (w/ Bryan Danielson) defeated The Butcher (10:38)

Danielson actually went over to the commentary table. 

Yuta transitioned from a flying octopus hold into a sunset flip for a near fall, but Butcher got right up and mauled him with a shoulderblock. Yuta sent Butcher to the floor and followed him out with a tope. On the floor, Yuta whipped Butcher into the guardrail and hit a forearm. Back in the ring, Yuta went for a blind dive, but Butcher sidestepped him and dropped him with a backbreaker for a near fall. 

After the split-screen break, Yuta came off the top with a cross bodyblock. Yuta followed up with a flying clothesline to take Butcher off his feet. Yuta followed up with an enziguri and an elbow strike. Yuta came off the top with a flying forearm. Yuta hit a German suplex and bridge for a near fall. Yuta stomped on Butcher’s arm and locked on a kimura, but Butcher casually got to his feet and hit a powerbomb for a near fall. 

Yuta went for a  double chicken wing. When Yuta couldn’t get Butcher down, he bit on his neck and got Butcher down for the mat, then locked in Daneilson’s Cattle Mutilation hold to get Butcher to tap out. 

Brian Cage defeated Manny Lo (0:58)

Cage picked Lo up for a slam and gave him a cutter. Cage finished Lo off with Weapon X. That was a proper squash.

– Renee Pauqette interviewed Don Callis and Kyle Fletcher. Brian Cage interrupted, and Fletcher challenged Brian Cage for Collision. Callis is not happy about all this wrestling Kyle Fletcher wants to do. 

Nyla Rose defeated  Harley Cameron (7:54)

According to her pre match promo, Cameron is wrestling this match on Saraya’s behalf, who is protesting because she’s not a part of All In. But I don’t think Saraya was ever advertised for this match. 

Nyla dumped Cameron to the floor and teased doing a dive on the outside. Cameron sent Rose into the ring barricade. Back in the ring, Carermon choked Rose in the corner with a boot to the throat. 

After the commercial break, Cameron went for a tijeras but Rose countered it with a backbreaker. Rose followed up with a big legdrop for two. Cameron came off the middle ropes with a crossbody and got powerslamed. Rose missed a cannon ball in the corner. Cameron got a near fall off a running knee. Cameron gave Rose a Bronco buster, but Rose powered up and turn it into a running Beast Bomb to get the pinfall. 

– Private Party cut a promo on the MxM Collection. 

“Bad Apple” Bryan Keith (w/ Chris Jericho & Big Bill) defeated  Jackson Drake

Keith caught Drake with an exploder suplex and a big boot. Keith gave Drake the Diamond Dust to get the pinfall. 

– Renee Paquette interviewed Katsuyori  Shibata. Through his phone, Shibata promised Hook and Samoa Joe would be back soon, and he would hurt all of Bryan Keith to revenge for what Keith did to his arm. 

– A preview of the big eight tag main event for Collision tomorrow afternoon.

MxM Collection (Mason Madden & Mansoor) defeated  Private Party (Zay & Quen) (12:07)

Mason Madden was recruited to the Jaguars after college, which makes him the first guy to work for Tony Khan in the NFL and AEW. Frustrated by Zay doing the “Shots! Shots! Shots!” taught, Madden let the crowd know this was a serious wrestling contest. 

Madden was easily a head taller than everyone else in this match. Quen used Zay as a springboard and dropkicked Madden, then Private Party gave Mansoor a flapjack when he tried to run in. 

MxM had the advantage during the break. After the break, Quen got the hot tag and hit Mansoor with a series of forearms and a shoulder tackle. Quen hit a standing moonsault and a lionsault. Madden ran in and got an enziguri, and Quen hit Mansoor with an enziguri as well. Private Party hit a back suplex/neckbreaker combo for a near fall. Private Party tried a double suplex on Madden, but Madden reversed it and suplexed both Private Party. Madden hit a leg lariat on Zay into a sitdown powerbomb from Mansoor for a near fall. 

Zay came off the ropes with a springboard tornado DDT for a near fall, then hit Madden with a dropkick. Zay went for a tope on Madden on the floor, but Madden caught him with a Black Hole Slam. Quen came off the top with a tope con hilo on Madden. 

Back in the ring, Quen and Mansoor are legal. Quen went up the top, but Madden caught him with a chokeslam off the top rope. Monsoon took Kassidy out with a superkick. Mansoor and Madden hit Quen with an elevated/implant double underhook DDT to get the pinfall. MxM Collection looked good here.

AEW Rampage viewership up, 18-49 demo rating steady

Posted on by Paul Fontaine

The Friday, July 26 episode of AEW Rampage averaged 306,000 viewers on TNT, up 7.8 percent from the previous week. The number is consistent with what the show has been doing lately as six of the last seven episodes have averaged between 303,000 and 339,000 viewers.

Rampage drew the same 0.10 rating in the 18-49 demo that it did last week. The show has drawn that same rating in three of the last four weeks.

Rampage went head-to-head with the final hour of NBC’s tape-delayed airing of the Olympics Opening Ceremony. NBC’s coverage did the best numbers for an Opening Ceremony since the 2012 London Olympics.

As compared to the same week in 2023, Rampage’s overall viewership was down 5.6 percent while its 18-49 rating was the exact same as last year.

Listed below are the last 11 weeks of overall viewership and 18-49 demo ratings for Rampage, along with the 10-week average in both categories. This week’s numbers were almost identical to the 10-week averages in both overall viewers and 18-49.

**********

– Excalibur, Matt Menard, and Tony Schiavone were on commentary for tonight’s episode of Rampage.

Darby Allin won the Royal Rampage Match (Winner Earns an AEW World Title Shot at AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam)

Orange Cassidy, Claudio Castagnoli, Brody King, and Komander entered first to start the match in the two rings. Cassidy faced off with King, while Castagnoli and Komander were face to face.

Cassidy held on to King’s hand, while Komander did the same with Castagnoli. Both tried for a simultaneous arm drag, but King and Castagnoli stopped them cold in their tracks.

Entrant 5: Tomohiro Ishii (The Conglomeration)

Ishii and King began battering each other with chops as Komander tried and failed to eliminate Castagnoli. Over in the other ring, Conglomeration teammates Ishii and Cassidy teamed up on King.

Entrant 6: Brian Cage

Cage went after Castagnoli in the right ring and hit a feint kick. Komander’s casa dora was caught by Cage, who slammed him down.

Entrant 7: The Butcher

King and Butcher hit a double elbow drop on Ishii and continued to work together as they attacked Cassidy afterwards. The alliance was short-lived as King and Butcher foguth each other.

Entrant 8: “Daddy Magic” Matt Menard

Menard got up from his commentary table and entered the right ring to attack Castagnoli with punches.

Entrant 9: Roderick Strong (Undisputed Kingdom)

Strong slid into the left ring and went right after Cassidy immedaitely, then stomping on King, and Ishii in the other corners. Strong and Butcher worked together as the former took out King with a running knee.

Entrant 10: Kip Sabian

Sabian entered the right ring and went on an offensive flurry against the competitors inside that ring. The action began to wind down for a bit as the next entrant made his way to the ring.

Entrant 11: Brandon Cutler

Cutler walked down the ring with a microphone and talked about what he and the Young Bucks went through in Blood and Guts. He ended up being the first elimination after Ishii clotheslined Cutler as he got on the apron.

Entrant 12: Nick Wayne (The Patriarchy)

Wayne entered the right ring and went after Sabian right away. Hurricanrana by Wayne, followed by a dropkick on Sabian. Meanwhile, Cage eliminated Menard from Royal Rampage with a clothesline.

Entrant 13: Kyle O’Reilly (The Conglomeration)

O’Reilly targeted Strong with his signature kicks before he turned his attention to The Butcher. Menard returned to commentary in the mean time.

Entrant 14: Jeff Jarrett

Jarrett got a huge reaction from the crowd as he entrered the right ring and went on a tear. Rampage went to a picture-in-picture break at this point, with the Royal Rampage match still in progress.

The Butcher was eliminated as Rampage returned from the break, which led to the next entrant entering.

Entrant 15: Matt Taven (Undisputed Kingdom)

Taven aided Strong in the left ring as he went after Cassidy and O’Reilly. Over on the left ring, Komander was eliminated by Wayne after he got pushed off the ropes.

Entrant 16: Jay Lethal

Lethal mixed it up with Wayne in the right ring, flooring him with a smooth dropkick. Jarrett and Lethal attempted to team up to get Wayne eliminated, but Sabian instead got the honor of eliminating Wayne. We saw the rest of The Patriarchy watching the match backstage, as Christian was upset at Killswitch for not helping Wayne out in Royal Rampage.

Entrant 17: Mike Bennett (Undisputed Kingdom)

Bennett floored Cassidy with a backpack stunner of sorts before he got into a chop battle with Ishii in the middle of the left ring. Bennett and Taven then worked together on Ishii.

Entrant 18: The Beast Mortos

Mortos took down Castagnoli with a pop-up Samoan Drop and hit Lethal with a fierce headbutt. Jarrett and Lethal worked together to eliminate Sabian from Royal Rampage.

Entrant 19: Darby Allin

King locked his eyes towards Allin and began to fight with him in the left ring. King rammed Allin back-first into the corner as the battle spilled outside with both men rolling under the ring to avoid elimination. In the right ring, Jarrett and Lethal hit double guillotines on Castagnoli and Mortos as they then did the Jarrett strut.

Entrant 20: Lio Rush

As Rush entered the ring, Allin and King were fighting in the crowd. Back inside the ring, Rush fought with Castagnoli and Lethal as Rampage headed to another picture-in-picture break.

Rampage returned with Mortos getting eliminated by Rush, while Allin and King’s brawl made its way back to the ringside area. Ishii and Bennett ended up getting eliminated around the same time. Rapid fire eliminations happened with Cassidy, Taven, and O’Reilly all getting eliminated one after the other. Allin, King, and Strong were left in the left ring.

Castagnoli caught Rush from the apron and brought him over the rope. In the ensuing standoff, Rush was eliminated after Castagnoli threw him from the apron. Strong ended up also getting eliminated simultaneously. Lethal also got eliminated.

Over on the left ring, Allin and King had fought on the apron until Allin scored the eliminatiuon by charging into King to send him crashing from the apron. Back on the right ring, Jarrett was on fire against Castagnoli and Cage. “Hangman” Adam Page appeared out of nowhere to ambush Jarrett from behind. With Jarrett out of it, this allowed Cage to easily eliminate Jarrett. We went to a full commercial break with Hangman continuing to pummel Jarrett at ringside.

Back from the break, Castagnoli and Cage were fighting in the right ring, while Allin got a bit of time to rest as the last man standing in the left ring. Castagnoli and Cage’s fight made its way to the apron, where Castagnoli got the elimination by hitting the Neutralizer on Cage.

With two competitors left, Castagnoli got the upper hand by throwing Allin from one ring to the other, which caused Allin to roll out under the bottom rope.

Outside the ring, Castagnoli grabbed the steel steps and then did the Giant Swing on Allin right into the steel steps. Back in the ring, Castagnoli threw Allin with a German suplex. On a second German suplex attempt, Allin landed on his feet and sent Castagnoli to the apron.

Castagnoli grabbed Allin from the apron and the two began to fight. Allin bit at Castagnoli’s hand and perched him on the top rope. Allin went up top with a Coffin Drop to cause Castagnoli to tumble to the outside for the win.

This year’s Royal Rampage might not have been as strong as previous year’s editions, but it was still an entertaining match. Allin as the holder of the AEW World Title shot at Grand Slam in September will make whoever leaves All In: London as AEW Champion between Swerve Strickland and Bryan Danielson quite the interesting opponent.

– After the match, Castagnoli refused to shake Allin’s hand.

– We got comments from Willow Nightingale after Kris Statlander’s attack on her on Dynamite this pst Wednesday. Nightingale said that Statlander might be a bit obsessed with her as she put up her CMLL Women’s Championship on the line for next week’s Dynamite in a Title Eliminator match.

Kris Statlander defeated Leila Gray

Statlander kicked Gray in the head before finishing things off with the Friday Night Fever for the quick win.

Pretty much a short squash to give Statlander some heat ahead of her CMLL Women’s Championship Eliminator Match on Dynamite.

Lance Archer defeated Local Talent

Archer carried his opponent to the ring, having already beaten him up before hand. Once both made their way to the ring, Archer made short work of his opponent with repeated chokeslams, much to the approval of the Nashville crowd. Archer put an end to things with the Blackout for the pin and win.

Short and sweet, but it’s always fun to see Archer put away hapless jobbers.

– Backstage, Saraya and Harley Cameron were interviewed. Saraya said she’d be in action next week to prove why she deserved to be in the ring at Wembley for All In: London.

Don Callis Family (Rush & Kyle Fletcher) defeated The Outrunners (Truth Magnum and Turbo Floyd), The Righteous (Vincent & Dutch) and Private Party (Isaiah Kassidy & Marq Quen)

The match began in progress as Vincent found himself getting floored by an Outrunners double team attack. Dutch entered the match and easily pushed aside Magnum and Floyd. The Righteous continued to have control of the action. Rampage went to its final commercial break with The RIghteous having the upper hand.

We returned from break with Private Party in the match, using their high-flying offense to take everyone out. Kassidy took down Dutch with a backstabber, which allowed Quen to soar with a 450 splash on the big man. Floyd dropped Kassidy across the top rope with a guillotine. Floyd’s taunt was interrupted by Fletcher, who began to chop at Floyd alongside Rush.

The Don Callis Family duo showed great chemistry as Rush set Floyd up for his running attack, but stopped short and kicked him instead. Fletcher finished this match with a belly-to-belly Tombstone piledriver on Floyd for the victory.

– After the match, Rush took the camera cable from Don Callis and choked Floyd with it as Fletcher punched at Floyd to end this week’s Rampage.

A decent main event that did get disrupted a bit by the sheer length of Royal Rampage so the flow felt a bit off. That said, it’s always good seeing these four teams get a spotlight in the main event.
