AEW Dynamite and Rampage 3-20-24 - Cope vs. Cage III

 


Rampage is on after Dynamite, which is a loaded lineup. We see Cope and Cage walk in before Kingston and Okada. Tony is mid-ring and brings out Mercedes. She cuts the same promo as last week, but goes into more history with Willow. The lights go out and Julia and Skye come in, but Willow and Kris save. Okada meets with Alex Marvez and they demand that he speaks to Okada in Japanese. Nice recap of everything with Renee in front of the ring after Okada comes out looking so cool.


Okada DDT on the floor gets a bunch of replays as per the Jacksons' request. Kingston takes some disrespectful kicks and lands a ton of sick chops. Kingston lands a giant lariat for 2. Kneeling chops and headbutts! DISCUS LARIAT HITS FOR OKADA! Kingston partially blocked it though! Inoki enzuiguri hits for Kingston, but THE LANDSLIDE HITS! RAINMAKER ENDS IT AND OKADA IS THE NEW CONTINENTAL CROWN CHAMPION! THE BASTARD PAC IS HERE! He wanted competition and he'll get it! 


Backstage, Swerve chats with Renee. Willow talks about being in more street fights than anyone else in AEW after tonight. Kris thanks Mercedes for the save last week. THE HOOK SIGNAL is here and then Jericho is out after him with an ill-fitting Seagal-esque jacket. Jericho eats a beating and then goes up for an axehandle to meet a northern lights release. REDRUM IS ON but Jericho breaks the grip. Cradle off the walls gets the win. This went on too long. Cole buries Wardlow for losing and looks a decade younger with a shaved face instead of a grey beard.


Renee chats with Jericho about earning Jericho's respect and he wants to say something to him next week. Ospreay comes out and apologizes for being a prick before but says he needs some maple syrup! He says Danielson said he couldn't walk in his shoes and he did more than Danielson ever did in Japan. He wants Shibata and now he's got a mortgage to pay, a kid to raise, cats and dogs and a point to prove! HE WANTS SHIBATA NEXT WEEK! 



Mariah May and Toni Storm face off with Rosa and Deonna. Rosa half-speeds it up for a bit. Hip attack in the corner, but Toni's piledriver meets a jackknife cradle and that ends it. Swerve is out and we get Swerve versus THE BUTCHER! Now I was tired, but this is slick! Swerve busts out a BICEP POSE ALONGSIDE THE SHORTARM SCISSOR! Swerve wants to hang Joe with his chain! Joe warns him about wanting to box with a god and having that belief makes the fans believe, but they can't be champion and neither can you!



DON CALLS INTERRUPTS!? And he's so hated, he can barely be heard in his home country. Swerve has the same amount of wins as Takeshita and now he wants that match! Cope comes out in Toronto Maple Leaf gear and looks killer! Cope lands a baseball slide and Taz calls him Edge and then just says well it had to happen! Cope puts a Bruins jersey on Cage and beats his ass in Maple Leafs jersey. Cope makes an announce table ladder bridge. Ladder hinge to the balls by Cope! Very odd video game street fight vibe here for the blood feud - but it's a lot of fun. 



Cage dives onto Cope through a table! Frog splash misses, and Cope locks on the crossface - but Cage doesn't quit. Cope slams him on a hockey net. Shayna ballshots Cope with a hockey stick and Cage busts it over his back. Barb wire chair conchairto misses for Cage, who wants a killswitch on the barb wire chair and Cope goes for it. Cope goes for a stick assist, but can't hear a tap so he uses his drawstring like a gourot and the goons arrive. 

Menard and Garcia save! Wayne gets tossed over and he clips Killswitch with his foot! Cope dives on the pile off a ladder! The goons are cuffed and Cage eats punches and a spear! They tie him up in the corner and he goes for SPIKE! Cope hits a billion ball shots and spike to the balls, but Cage doesn't quit until he raises it overhead!
