Does Rampage start with HOOK? I need to know when to tune in so I don’t piss off the person I work with who hates wrestling but I refuse to miss HOOK

If it's in the order it was taped in, it was the 3rd match of 4

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

House of Black is Khan's fourth shot at spooky mega heel faction. First it was Nightmare Collective which woof, then it was proto-Dark Order that was going to be Marty Scurll's Villain AEW group but that went sideways, then it was Brodie Lee's Dark Order which got turned permanently face after Lee's untimely passing, and now its HoB.

HoB is going to backfire anyway because they're cool sexy Satanists and everyone loves them.

Trent, Chuck Taylor, Orange Cassidy, & Rocky Romero defeated The Young Bucks, Bobby Fish, & Adam Cole

Dan Lambert came out to cut a promo and was interrupted by Cody Rhodes. This led to Scorpio Sky and Ethan Page attacking Cody until Dustin Rhodes made the save. The Rhodes' ended up getting beat up until AEW TNT Champion Sammy Guevara made the save.

Submission Match: Tay Conti defeated Penelope Ford

Daniel Garcia, The Acclaimed, & 2point0 defeated Eddie Kingston, Santana and Ortiz, & the Lucha Bros

Very excited for Dan Lambert to wonder into the Codyverse.

loving weirdo tag match results there lol. Would have expected the opposite results for both matches.

I'm excited for both Lambertverse and Codyverse intersecting as it will keep both of them away from other wrestlers

The results I posted above were from Fightful so I assume are legit, but I did see one other site that had 2.0 losing instead of winning (the other matches/segments were the same) :iiam:

I mean, I'm expecting Jericho, Santana and Ortiz to feud with 2.0 for the time being, so that frees up The Acclaimed to feud with the Lucha Bros, which is fine I guess, not least because I expect the LBs to carry them to a pretty solid match

e: also, I'm fine with Bobby Fish (presumably) taking the pin, not least because he's vulnerable until KOR shows up in a week or two and the fun really begins

I mean you can't beat Best Friends in matches and then chump them out in back stage segments and post-matches without them getting a win at some point. Sure, they had Trent returning last week but at Rampage they beat the poo poo out of him and stood tall. Figured it had to be setting up them getting a big win.

Elite has been losing these big payoff matches recently, so the break up must be imminent.

I'm pretty sure Kyle comes in on Wed and TUE beat down the Bucks to let them go home for the holidays injure them.

Not even joking I think it would legit confuse people. I'm pretty sure a huge chunk of the AEW fanbase stopped watching NXT when the Undisputed Era were still together.

I'm sure they'll split apart at some point but we have a Kenny Omega face turn to kick off here, after all.

I know everyone expects it to be Elite vs TUE, but I kinda like the idea of face Kenny/RD vs heel Superkliq better.

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.

Yeah, i don't think they would've done things like having Cole abandon Fish to get beaten up a couple weeks ago if they were planning a legit TUE run.

I think they introduce KOR and him and Fish immediately turn on Cole and reform reDragon

They shouldn't reference the Cole/O'Reilly feud from NXT.

They should reference the Cole/O'Reilly feud from ROH.

Or they could reform Future Shock. Either is good.

What a horrible match on paper. Make the crowd sit through 10 matches that don't mean anything, only for Sami to come out and win 1 match against the guy that just had 3 matches.
