Kings of the Black Throne vs Premier Athletes
Rampage (taped last week after Collision in Southaven, MI) kicked off with The Kings of the Black Throne taking on The Premier Athletes. Tony Nese and Ariya Daivari were the competitors on the heel side with Josh Woods and Smart Mark Sterling on the outside. The announce team explained that Buddy Matthews was still out with injury and Black and King were simply forging ahead. Early in the match, Woods got involved to help their team gain an advantage with Tony Nese taking out Brody King with a Fosbury Flop (which Tony Schiavone incorrectly called a Tope con Giro).
It took ALL of the #PremierAthletes to take down Brody King!

Daivari then hit Malakai Black in the head with Sterling’s clipboard after another Josh Woods distraction, allowing Nese to hit a 450 splash leading to a near fall.
The referee didn’t see it!

Tony Nese attempted another 450 splash and landed with his knees directly on Malakai’s knees in a painful-looking spot. Black then picked Nese up and hit him with the spinning back heel kick for the win.
Roderick Strong in Action
The Conglomeration of Mark Briscoe, Kyle O’Reilly, and Orange Cassidy were on commentary for the next match which featured Roderick Strong taking on Ben Bishop who Daddy Magic noted used to be a goaltender for the Ottawa Senators.
That’s ONE way of chopping the big man down!

All six competitors put their all into trying to capture this crowd but it seemed as if there was just no rousing them despite some impressive high-flying moves. In the end, Shane Taylor knocked out Action Andretti with a punch and got the pinfall victory. After the show aired, AEW announced that Top Flight (without Andretti) would be facing STP again tomorrow night on Collision.

Final Thoughts
A bit of a strange, slower-feeling episode of Rampage, especially with it having been taped following Collision last week and not after Dynamite as usual. But the opening contest between Kings of the Black Throne and Premier Athletes was entertaining and the 4-way was full of inventive high-flying spots.
