AEW Rampage Results 2/23 - Roderick Strong Vs. Jake Hager, Mariah May Vs. Anna Jay & More

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results for "AEW Rampage" on February 23, 2024, coming to you from the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma!

Jake Hager will be returning to action for the first time since January 12 edition of "Rampage" as he collides with Roderick Strong. The two men came face-to-face this past Wednesday on "AEW Dynamite" after Hager prevented Strong and his Undisputed Kingdom teammates Matt Taven and Mike Bennet from attacking AEW International Champion Orange Cassidy following his title defense against Bennett.

Penta El Zero Miedo and Komander will be teaming up with Bryan Keith for the first time ever in trios competition. However, it won't be just any ordinary trios match, as they go head-to-head with two other teams rather than just one: Private Party and Matt Sydal, and Top Flight and Action Andretti.

Mariah May hasn't competed in an AEW ring since defeating Lady Frost on the January 27 episode of "AEW Collision". Tonight, she will be making her return to action as she squares off with Anna Jay. Jay herself came up short to Queen Aminata during last week's "Rampage".

The Young Bucks look to emerge victorious once again tonight as they return to in-ring competition. Matthew and Nicholas Jackson previously picked up wins over Mondo Rox and Robbie Lit and the aforementioned Top Flight on the February 9 episode of "Rampage" and February 14 edition of "Dynamite" respectively.

Additionally, Sammy Guevara has something on his mind to share.

We are live! Excalibur, Tony Schiavone, and "Daddy Magic" Matt Menard greet audiences at home as Penta El Zero Miedo, Komander, Bryan Keith, Private Party, Matt Sydal, Top Flight and Action Andretti are all waiting in the ring.

He apologizes for Schiavone "tripping over his shoe" when him and Matthew landed the EVP Trigger on him, and Matthew hands him a $25 Amazon gift card. He apologizes to him for their suits, and Schiavone asks if they'll rescind his fine. The Bucks refuse to do so, and Matthew tells Schiavone about what him and Nicholas will do to Sting and Darby Allin at AEW Revolution. He then sends a direct message to Sting.

Back from the break, Sammy Guevara makes his way down to the ring.

Tony Schiavone Speaks With Sammy Guevara

Tony Schiavone asks Guevara about The Don Callis Family, and Guevara. Guevara says while he's happy that he got to face a childhood hero in Jeff Hardy. Powerhouse Hobbs still put him through a table. He says Hobbs is a star on his own, but it's too late for him to figure that out. He then calls him out to the ring.

Don Callis appears instead, and says all Guevara has done in the last six months is have a baby. He says he shouldn't be proud of that, and says he used to be a great athlete. He says he used to be a guy he wanted in The Don Callis Family, but he's weak and pathetic.

Hobbs tries blindsiding Guevara, but Guevara sees him coming and flies over the top rope to level him. He grabs a chair and cracks it across Hobbs' spine, then hits him with it in his midsection back in the ring and across his spine a second time. Hobbs turns him inside out with a clothesline. He follows it up with a pair of spinebusters and a slam.

Back at ringside, Anna Jay makes her way down to the ring. Mariah May follows.
