Brawling Brutes and Drew McIntyre opening promo – HIT I enjoyed Sheamus being honest about his history with Drew in this promo; other than that, this promo was leaning toward a miss until Sami Zayn […]
Lance Archer defeated Ricky Starks to advance in the AEW World Title Eliminator Tournament (+pre-match brawl): HIT The match portion of this may not get a good rating, but the pre-match backstage brawl leading to […]
Gable vs. Riddle – HIT: There was a lot of “thumbs in the middle” content to start off Raw. Until this match between Chad Gable and Matt Riddle, everything on the show was just ok […]
Christian Cage, Luchasaurus, and Jungle Boy Promo: MINOR HIT It’s refreshing to see an AEW heel actually be heelish and play for boos. Thank you, Christian Cage. Also refreshing to start Rampage with a promo. […]

The New Day vs. The Usos for the undisputed tag team championship – MISS For me, this match was never in doubt not the fault of the workers; it was more the booking and build […]
Opening Segment – MISS: I thought I was going to give the opening segment a Hit. It started well with The Usos (and Solo Sikoa) talking about beating The Brawling Brutes at Crown Jewel and […]
Liv Morgan vs. Sonya Deville — No Disqualification Match – MISS Let’s start with the good. I honestly thought this was one of the best matches I’ve seen from Sonya Deville on the main roster. […]
Video Package on Katsuyori Shibata: MISS I commend AEW for trying with a video package, but the only thing I learned is that Shibata is a Japanese wrestler coming back from injury. Nothing about who […]

Belair vs. Cross – HIT: It was good to see Nikki Cross back to her old Sanity character if for no other reason than it isn’t her Almost a Super Hero character. Triple H has […]
Jon Moxley defeated Matt Menard in a non-title Eliminator match: MINOR HIT As predictable as this match was, it’s always good to see the world champion competing on Rampage, and Matt Menard is highly entertaining […]
OC – Judgement Day – MISS: This was the worst Raw in the Triple H era. It did not get off to a good start. I was not a fan of what they did with […]

Blackpool Combat Club (Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli) defeated Butcher and Blade: MINOR HIT Good action here with some nice commentary from Jim Ross and William Regal. However, I can’t help but feel that if […]
Bloodline – HIT: The Bloodline is by far the best thing going in WWE (really, all American wrestling). Everything they are involved in is so much more important than anything else. They all play their […]
BRON BREAKKER vs. JAVIER BERNAL As Bernal made his way to the ring for what was about to be the most important match of his career, JD McDonagh emerged and joined Vic Joseph and Booker […]
Pac defeated Trent Beretta to retain the AEW All-Atlantic Title: NARROW MISS Yes, the match had good wrestling. Excellent wrestling, in fact, and a ton of crowd investment. On a meta-level, I am really impressed […]
