Rampage – Dec 30

Listen to The Daily Wrestling News Show: 

*Emanating from Broomfield, CO

(1)  Orange Cassidy def. Trent Beretta…retains his All-Atlantic Championship…around the 10 minute mark Penelope Ford comes to ringside & momentarily distracts Trent…Cassidy with the Orange Punch for the win (11:26)…AFTER…Kip Sabian is at the commentary desk, basking in the fact that Trent & Chuck Taylor walked away from Cassidy & headed up the ramp without him.

*Darby Allin approached backstage by Schiavone…Darby is happy to be getting a TNT title shot next week in his home town, even though he doesn’t know if anyone believes he can get the job done…Sting tells Darby to stop worrying about who does or doesn’t believe…just shut your mouth & get it done.

(2)  Kip Sabian def. In Action (Atiffa?)…Sabian hits a top buckle double foot stomp, then puts on the elbow brace Penelope Ford stole from ringside during the Cassidy/Trent match to mock Cassidy by landing a (lefty) Orange Punch for the win (01:20).

*Preston Vance backstage with Lexi…tells her to call him by his new name, “Perro Peligroso”…he has his 1^st post-Dark Order match next week on Rampage but doesn’t know who he’s facing…but if he knew belittling a child was all he had to do to get some spotlight, he would have done it 3 years ago.

*Jon Moxley in the ring with Schiavone…he knocked Hangman out & slept like a baby himself…everybody gets hurt, he’s been hurt for 10 years…if Hangman makes it to LA on Jan 11, Mox will be waiting for him.

*Jay Lethal is pissed off & ready to take the tag team gold next week on Dynamite…Jeff Jarrett says he will end Caster’s career as revenge for that rap about him.

(3)  Jade Cargill def. Kiera Hogan…retains her TBS Championship…the fight goes to the floor, Leila Grey holds Hogan but Red Velvet stops Jade from slapping her…back inside, Hogan hits a high cross body for 2…Jade escapes a side suplex attempt & transitions into Jaded for the win (07:58)…to go to 46-0.

*Jamie Hayter promo…she doesn’t care who Saraya brings to LA…Hayter & Britt Baker will be ready…because Hayter hits harder.

*Mark Sterling & the Varsity Athletes backstage with Lexi…Sterling is pissed that Bryan Danielson has messed in MJF’s affairs…Tony Nese plans to take revenge by beating Danielson next week in front of his hometown fans.

*Swerve Strickland & Wheeler Yuta split screen interview with Mark Henry…IT’S TIME FOR THE MAIN EVENT!

(4)  Swerve Strickland def. Wheeler Yuta…Yuta fights off the JML set up with a back elbow, sending Swerve into the ref…as the ref’s back is turned, Swerve with a low blow punt on Yuta…Swerve follows with the JML Driver for the win (12:37).
