AEW Rampage Results 8/25 - Hikaru Shida And Britt Baker Vs. The Outcasts, Two Title Matches

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results for "AEW Rampage" on August 25, 2023, coming to you from the Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky!

Before they collide in a Four-Way match for the AEW Women's Championship at AEW All In, current titleholder Hikaru Shida will be joining forces with Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. to take on The Outcasts' Toni Storm and Saraya during Night Two of Fyter Fest. Baker and Saraya secured their spots in this Sunday's bout after defeating The Bunny and Skye Blue respectively while Storm received a bye and Shida ensured she would be heading in as champion after retaining against Anna Jay on August 2.

Not only will QT Marshall talk with Jim Ross tonight, but he will also be putting his AAA Latin American Championship on the line against Gravity. Marshall became the new titleholder after defeating Dralistico, Penta El Zero Miedo, and El Texano Jr. in a Four-Way match at AAA TripleMania XXXI: Mexico City on August 12.

Another title will be up for grabs tonight, as Orange Cassidy defends the AEW International Championship against Aaron Solo. Cassidy's last successful defense came last week against Wheeler Yuta during Night One of the Fight for the Fallen special. Meanwhile, Solo last competed on television on the July 21 episode of "Rampage", during which he teamed with the aforementioned Marshall and Johnny TV in a losing effort to The Acclaimed and "Daddy Ass" Billy Gunn.

Additionally, TNT Champion Luchasaurus will be competing against an opponent who has yet to be named tonight in a non-title matchup.

We are live! Excalibur and Tony Schiavone greet audiences at home as Orange Cassidy makes his way down to the ring. Aaron Solo and Harley Cameron follow. 

The bell rings and Cassidy looks to put his hands in his pocket. Solo stops him with a kick to his midsection before the pair go back and forth locking one another in submission holds. Cassidy then delivers an arm drag that sends Solo crashing to the outside and follows him. Cassidy hits a back elbow and looks to take another shot, but Cameron gets in between the two men before he can. Cassidy delivers his signature kicks to her, then delivers a tope suicida to Solo and gets him back in the ring. He ascends to the top, but Cameron pulls him down and Solo delivers a suplex.

Back from the break, Solo delivers a forearm in the corner. Cassidy then sends him crashing into the top turnbuckles face first and ascends to the top. He delivers a crossbody and Stun Dog Millionaire, then follows it up with a Tornado DDT and sets up for Orange Punch. Cameron distracts Cassidy with a song, allowing Solo to deliver a Corkscrew Kick and plant him shoulder first. He ascends to the top and delivers a diving double stomp.

Winner (and still): Orange Cassidy

We then head over to a video of Jim Ross interviewing with QT Marshall. Ross asks Marshall what's next, and Marshall says it's time for him to get the respect he's earned. He says he's not the one aligning himself with people like Cody Rhodes and Powerhouse Hobbs because they're the ones aligning themselves with him. He says he's never complained about that assumption because he's a professional. He says he was taught to be a good soldier so he can get opportunities, then questions why people assume he gets chances as a result of his relationship with Tony Khan when he had to go to Mexico for a chance at championship gold. He complains about not having his own action figure, then says he will defend his AAA Latin American Championship with honor and prestige.

Back from the break, Gravity heads down to the ring. QT Marshall and Johnny TV follow, and the latter joins commentary.

Before the match begins, Marshall grabs a microphone and mocks Gravity. He tells him that he should just leave, but Gravity slaps him.

The bell rings and Gravity delivers an arm drag off the ropes. He lands a second one, then follows it up with a dropkick that sends him crashing out of the ring. Gravity goes flying over the top and levels him, then gets him back in the ring and ascends to the top. Marshall catches Gravity with a right hand mid-air, and the action spills back out of the ring. Gravity lands a tijeras and looks to go flying off the apron, but Marshall catches him and powerbombs him onto the apron.

Back from the break, Gravity delivers a pair of chops to Marshall. Marshall sends him crashing to the mat with a right hand, but Gravity responds with a Canadian Destroyer. He follows it up with a clothesline in the corner and looks for a crossbody off the ropes, but Marshall catches him with a backbreaker and plants him. He looks to plant Gravity, but Gravity counters into a tijeras. He follows it up with a series of kicks and a German suplex.

Marshall sits Gravity on the top rope and looks for the Diamond Cutter. Gravity fights him off and escapes, then delivers a chop and an uppercut. He climbs up to the middle rope and gets Marshall up on his shoulders, then delivers a modified Fallaway Slam. Marshall fires back with a Diamond Cutter and the DSD for the win.

Winner (and still): QT Marshall

We then head over to a video from Dark Order, who say they are looking to rebuild with other angry and selfish people like them.

Back at ringside, Luchasaurus heads down. Ren Jones is already waiting in the ring.

The bell rings and Jones delivers a right hand. He follows it up with an uppercut, but Luchasaurus catches him with a kick and plants him with a chokeslam. He then delivers a lariat to the back of his head for the win.

Winner: Luchasaurus

We see Christian Cage holding Luchasaurus' TNT Championship backstage, having watched what just happened.

The Outcasts then head down to the ring. Hikaru Shida and Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. follow. 

The bell rings and The Outcasts waste no time going after Shida and Baker. Shida and Storm brawl on the outside as Baker delivers a Sling Blade to Saraya. She runs the ropes, but Soho grabs her ankle from the outside, opening the door for Saraya to send her into the top turnbuckle face first and tag in Storm.

Saraya fires off knees from the apron as Storm distracts the referee, and Storm delivers a Hip Attack that sends her crashing to the outside. Soho fires off right hands and stomps, but Kris Statlander appears out of nowhere and drags Soho to the back on her shoulders.

Back from the break, Saraya and Storm take turns holding up the AEW Women's Champion. Saraya then wears down Baker on the outside, and dumps her back in the ring. Storm tags in and goes back and forth with Baker as the two land several forearms. Baker manages to deliver a neckbreaker, then tags in Shida. Shida fires off strikes on Storm, then delivers a running knee and gets her up on her shoulders. She sends Storm crashing into the mat and suplexes an interfering Saraya on top of her.

Storm delivers a chop before Shida catches her with an enziguri. Storm catches Baker with a German suplex and Saraya tags in. She chucks Baker across the ring before Baker officially tags in The Outcasts then level her with a double powerbomb.

Saraya and Baker begin brawling as Shida and Storm do the same. Baker levels Saraya with a forearm, and Shida plants her. Baker then plants her with a neckbreaker and goes for a pin, but Storm breaks the fall. Baker then calls for the Lockjaw, but Saraya grabs the referee's leg. Storm sprays Shida in the face with the spray paint, and a blinded Shida accidentally hits Baker with a forearm. This opens the door for Saraya to hit Baker with a Night Cap for the win.

Winners : The Outcasts

Saraya then grabs the AEW Women's Championship, but Storm looks to grab it from her. The pair start arguing about who gets to hold the title, but decide to hold it up together.
