AEW Rampage 8-27-21 - Jurassic Express vs. Lucha Bros


 

Jurassic Express starts out and Taz says he won't sing because that's a Dark exclusive and Jericho says HE YELLS BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT HE DOES. Lucha Bros get no intro here before the Bucks come out. DROPKICKS. SUPERKICKS! Fenix gets a hot tag and run-up spin kicks Luchasaurus to prevent a hot tag. STEREO DIVES BY JUNGLE BOY AND FENIX! Luchasaurus runs on through the Bros. Stacking chokeslam to Fenix and a standing moonsault gets 2. 

RUN-UP SOLEBUTT by Fenix! FENIX FROG SPLASH GETS 2.9! Snare trap to Fenix and Penta gets a buzzsaw kick to break that up. Torture rack/back cracker and a Made in Japan gets 2! Fear Factor broken up by Jack, who goes up and gets rope-walk rana'd TO THE FLOOR BY FENIX!




AIR HARDY-STYLE DESTROYER BY PENTA TO JACK!BILLION SUPERKICKS TO LUCHASAURUS! Wheelbarrow attack gets 2! Fear Factor ends it and the Lucha Bros win it. THIS WAS AMAZING. This may be the best sub-15 minute match ever - or at least since Rey vs. Angle. Bucks jump them in the post-match. The cage match at All Out gets hyped up by Jericho and Miro is NEXT. 



BUT FIRST, an epic Punk vs. Darby video package that truly places the Punk return in a point in history while asking the honest question of "can Punk still go?" in a compelling manner. MIRO is out with a revamped graphic for his belt and then beating up Fuego on the way down. Miro rips his mask off and then Kingston comes down and kicks Miro's ass with a big exploder while Jericho buries Fuego.



Bunny jumps Tay, who gets a brief flurry before chokes take over. Bunny eats a few corner brogue kicks before Penelope Ford helps distract Tay after the Tay-KO and Bunny uses Blade's knucks to win it. This was greater than the sum of its parts as Bunny's faces and Tay's moves were good - but the connecting tissue was lacking. Dynamite hype up with some All Out hype too. 



Darby faces Danny Garcia next week on Rampage. Mark chats with the main eventers tonight. Callis buries Cutler and Cage says he isn't trying to take out Omega - but he's already beaten him and he'll win the AEW World Title too. Kaz and Christian vs. Kenny Omega and Brandon Cutler - I like Cutler's chances tonight! Cutler COLD SPRAYS THE BELT!


Kaz and Omega have FANTASTIC chemistry together. Omega gets the rolling senton/moonsault on Kaz for 2 after a bunch of comedy with the stooges. Cutler does a dabbin' elbow and misses! Christian gets 10-count punches on both guys in the corner before the falling reverse DDT on both guys. V Trigger attempt to Cage, but he ducks and Cutler eats it! Omega avoids the killswitch and bails. Spear and the Killswitch take out Cutler! DAMMIT! I had $20 on Cutler to win!
