*A special Saturday Rampage emanating from Independence, MO. 

(1)  Powerhouse Hobbs def. Penta…retains his TNT Championship…although QT Marshall interjected himself a few times early & Aaron Solo tried to interfere but ran into a Fear Factor from Penta…it wasn’t until Hobbs blasted Penta with the TNT title belt behind the ref’s back that the cheating led directly to the ending…Hobbs gets Penta up for the Torture Rack Slam for the win (11:18)…AFTER…when Hobbs & Marshall put their hands on Alex Abrahantes, it brings Rey Fenix racing down to the ring with the timekeeper’s hammer to make the save & clear the ring.
