This week AEW’s Rampage on TNT saw more action in the Owen Hart Foundation Women's Tournament, and also featured another defense of the TNT Championship as Scorpio Sky takes on the man whose name is written next to his in the history books as AEW’s first tag team champions in Frankie Kazarian.
Winner: Death Triangle
Despite some after-match mind games from their adversaries that honor The House Of Black, it was a great Friday night for the reunited Death Triangle. Fenix is now a few matches back from his horrendous arm injury that happened a few months ago during a tag title defense against Jurassic Express, and he continues to look as if he hasn’t lost a step. Continuing to wrestle the fast-paced daredevil style that endeared him to AEW fans from the start. With the return of Pac to the fold as well, we finally see a full-strength Death Triangle just in time for a potential climax in their war with the House.
Loser: Bear Boulder
This week Bear Country's Bear Boulder was simply a placeholder, a punching bag for which Shawn Spears could take out his “Wardlow” based frustrations. That just so happens to be a very large amount of frustration. He lost the match despite the weight and height advantage, and was then beaten upside the body with a steel chair after the fact. Not a good night in Bear Country
Winner: Ruby Soho
Ruby Soho continues her winning ways with a huge victory over a former AEW Women’s World Champion. Riho hasn’t lost many singles matches in AEW, and a first-round loss to Soho is probably an upset of sorts in the grand scheme of things. Riho herself continues her endless streak of quality matches and looked good here even in defeat. Soho will move on to take on the winner of Red Velvet versus Kris Statlander this coming week on Dynamite.
Loser: SCU
The final nail in the coffin of the forgotten SCU faction was squarely hammered home this week. While fans likely didn't hold out much hope for an eventual reunion, this week showed it was a long way off if ever possible. Kazarian would lose in his attempt at Sky's TNT title in a match that saw Sky pretend to not want Lambert & Page ringside as if he wanted a fair fight. Later it was revealed Sky was happy to cheat to beat his former tag partner and would hit Kaz again with the gold himself after the match. Scorpio wouldn't have long to celebrate though, as Sammy Guevara would chase him and his cohorts
