AEW Rampage Results (10/14) - The Pinnacle Vs. The Embassy, Ethan Page Vs. Isiah Kassidy, Blackpool Combat Club In Action
Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results for "AEW Rampage" on October 14, 2022!
Shawn Spears and FTR of The Pinnacle will reunite to take on The Embassy's Brian Cage and Gates of Agony. This will be Spears' first match back since making his shocking return to the company this past Wednesday on "Dynamite" in his home country of Canada in order to help FTR, Wardlow and Samoa Joe take down The Embassy. Will he be able to take home the win in his first match back?
The Firm's Ethan Page (with Stokely Hathaway at ringside) will take on Isiah Kassidy (with mentor Matt Hardy and tag team partner Marq Quen in his corner) in a high stakes match. If Kassidy wins, then Private Party are officially free from The Firm's grasp to do as they please, but if he loses, then Hardy must become a member of The Firm. With so much on the line, who will come out on top?
AEW World Champion Jon Moxley and former ROH World Champion Claudio Castagnoli of Blackpool Combat Club will face The Butcher and The Blade (with The Bunny in their corner) in tag team action. Butcher and Blade look to seek vengeance for their boss, RUSH, after the two men and Wheeler Yuta defeated him and Private Party in tag team action last week. Will they be able to do so?
"The Native Beast" Nyla Rose (with manager Vickie Guerrero and Marina Shafir by her side) will square off with Jericho Appreciation Society's Anna Jay A.S. (with "Daddy Magic" Matt Menard and "Cool Hand" Angelo Parker in her corner) in single's action. Rose recently stole the TBS Championship from current titleholder Jade Cargill and has been calling it her own. Will the self-proclaimed 'new TBS Champion' be able to score the win?

We are live! Blackpool Combat Club, The Butcher and The Blade are waiting in the ring as Jim Ross, Excalibur and Tony Schiavone greet audiences at home.

Butcher tags in and Castagnoli hits a delayed vertical suplex. Blade tags back in and Castagnoli hits a running uppercut. He tosses Blade into the corner and charges at him, but Bunny inserts herself between the two. This allows Blade to attack him from behind.

After the match, Moxley grabs a mic and asks Castagnoli if they care who they get in the ring with. He says no. Castagnoli then tells Page on Moxley's behalf that he'll get stepped on next week.
We then head backstage to Renee Paquette and Swerve In Our Glory. Paquette asks what's next for them and Swerve says their next goal is to get championship gold. He says he thinks it's hilarious that The Acclaimed can't use the term "scissoring" anymore after "Smart" Mark Sterling announced he trademarked the term. Keith Lee says he cheated to win and that means nothing. He tells Swerve he's "swerving into the wrong lane."
Back from the break, Dark Order is standing by with Paquette. Paquette asks what's next, but before they can answer, Jose The Assistant walks in. 10 says that his attempts to get him to join LFI are not just affecting him, but the rest of Dark Order. He then challenges RUSH to a match next week and if he wins, then LFI has to leave him alone for good. They all put their hands in the middle before a 5th hand appears and we zoom out to see that it's Stu Grayson!
We Hear From The Jericho Appreciation Society
The Jericho Appreciation Society then makes their way to the ring. Angelo Parker grabs a mic and says the family is back together. Menard says that the JAS will be together forever before Anna Jay A.S. introduces Daniel Garcia.
Garcia says people want to know why he did what he did on Wednesday and says Jericho has always said sports entertainers are superior. He says fans told him otherwise and he believed them, but ultimately he will never be a pro wrestler. He says Bryan Danielson taught him about heart and guts, but Jericho taught him how to win by hitting him in the head with his title. He says sports entertainers beat pro wrestlers every time and calls himself a sports entertainer. Jericho says he is the greatest ROH Champion ever.
Dalton Castle's music hits before he and The Boys appear. Castle calls Jericho a "naive, silly little goose." He says he broke his back for the title and he's willing to break Jericho's back to give the viewers the champion that they deserve. He calls himself a power peacock and says the energy in the arena is fueled by the electricity in his veins. He challenges Jericho for his title on next week's "Dynamite" and Jericho accepts. Jericho says he will pull out Castle's feathers one by one and that the Ring of Jericho era is here.
