AEW Unified World Trios Champion Jay White def. Dante MartinBang Bang Gang beat Top Flight and Action Andretti to retain their tag titles last Saturday on Collision, so I don't know what purpose this was supposed to serve other than to get White on the show. Don't get me wrong, they had a quality contest, but I'd much rather see White involved in something more important than being relegated to Rampage. Unfortunately, I don't see that happening as long as he's one-third of the Trios champs. Kyle O'Reilly def. Rocky Romero This was a battle of respect between two guys who have had an issue with Roderick Strong recently. I have no idea what's next for them, but this did give O'Reilly a nice rebound win after failing to beat Strong for the AEW International Championship at Dynasty. It was the well-wrestled affair you'd expect from them and they were given an ample amount of time. I can't blame the crowd for being quiet due to the babyface vs. babyface dynamic, though. AEW TBS Champion Willow Nightingale def. Skye Blue in a Manitoba Massacre MatchNightingale and Blue had a tag team Street Fight on Rampage not that long ago, and I believe that also aired immediately after Dynamite. They needed a hot main event to give this crowd something worth waiting around for and they delivered. These women are obviously familiar with the extreme environment and they brought the brutality. It was a very entertaining main event, even if the outcome was never in doubt. Overall ShowI'm sure Rampage is only bouncing right now due to the NBA Playoffs and not because AEW is actually considering a three-hour block of television on Wednesday nights. That'd be terrible, but it was tolerable tonight. The Winnipeg crowd was dead for Dynamite, too, but it ended up being an adequate episode on the whole with an above-average main event. The three-match format worked well with nothing being shortchanged, though the main event may have been cut for time due to the final segment on Dynamite bleeding into Rampage.
