He says his past is creeping up on him and forcing him to make a decision. He then shows the card MVP gave him. He says it's a golden ticket and is a decision he has to make.

He says he beat Ari last week and Komander last night. He says he's heating up and about to be on fire. He says he feels great and says he's calling out Swerve next week. He says the man of the hour is back around.

Thoughts: Lio obviously has no chance against Swerve. The only question is how does MVP's crew get involved?

Thoughts: It was alright. They didn't get a ton of time here and didn't have a classic by any means. It was enough though and The Runners won as expected here. We didn't get a lot from Top Flight in this one.

Mort hits a powerobmb backbreaker and a spinning lariat for 2. RS hits a jumping knee and wins.

Thoughts: It was a weird one. They are pushing Strong as a face and I don't know many people buy it right now. They've been protecting Mort but RS probably needed a better win than he got here. It was about average.

Lance Archer and Brian Cage come out after. Lance hits a blackout on Strong. 

Mariah May does a promo. She says she hates women's wrestling. She says the women were all together and then she won the title. She says she realized she's surrounded by the weakest sh!ts. She says they are all injured, sick and can't look her in the eye. She says she's not in the women's division, the women are in her division. She says the women should thank her for standing on their necks. May says it's lonely being the only. She says years from now, people will wonder who killed women's wrestling and she says it's her and she did it.

Thoughts: They did too much here which wasn't shocking. They did an okay job of selling me on AA possibly winning here though and I would have been okay with it if it wasn't for the death valley driver apron spot.

Jack then bumps him as he leaves.

We get a Julia Hart video. She is cheerleading but we see her in a full body covering watching herself in the stands. Hart then does a House of Black cheer then she is shot with an arrow in the heart and seemingly dies. She then wakes up in her bed.

We get an Outrunners video. They shill a fanny pack and punch the merch guy.

Lexy talks to Daniel Garcia and Matt Menard in the back. Matt says to tune out Jack and says he knows he's ready. He says to prove him and his mom right. Daniel says he will and says let's get it.

Mansoor says Johnny says he already has a match but says MxM can come with him to ringside. He then apparently says "nice hog" at a photo Madden sent him.

AEW Trios Titles - The Death Riders (c) (Pac, Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta) vs The Conglomeration (Kyle O'Reily, Mark Briscoe and Tomohiro Ishii)

I think this is the first time The Death Riders have officially used that name. The Riders enter through the crowd.

Kyle and Yuta do some wrestling. Yuta trips him and shoulders him over. Kyle knees him in the gut then hits a knee and leg sweep. Mark hits chops on Yuta. Yuta and Ishii trade forearms. Ishii no sells them and drops Yuta with one. Kyle hits kicks and punches on Yuta.

Thoughts: It was an okay tag with an eh finish. It got a bunch of time but wasn't as good as it should have been. I have a hard time buying that Mox and his crew are scared of OC in any way, shape or form.

OC stares down Mox, hits an orange punch on Yuta then topes Mox. Everyone fights outside after. Mox and Shafir leave as OC watches everything while standing on the commentary table. OC flip dives on CC. OC then poses on the table to close the show.

Overall thoughts: It was your average Rampage. The show didn't have the most stacked line-up ever and it had the usual random matches. The main was the best thing on here but had a lame finish. You didn't miss too much if you skipped this one. I would give this a 5 out of 10 overall and wouldn't recommend it.
