They're On A Rampage - Rampage recap for April 14, 2023



Aussie Open (Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis) retain the IWGP Tag Team Championships against Best Friends (Chuck Taylor and Trent Beretta).



Backstage, Sonjay Dutt gets with Mark Briscoe, saying that Mark and the rest of the team (Jay Lethal, Satnam Singh, Jay Lethal) are more alike than he knows, as Satnam Singh grew up on a farm and Jeff Jarrett is also a fellow country boy. He also produces a shirt of the entire team with Marc Briscoe in the corner before putting the shirt on Mark. After everyone leaves, Mark Briscoe takes the shirt off and throws it into the lockers.

Tony Schiavone interviews FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) in the ring. Wheeler says it took two years and five months to win the AEW World Tag Team Championships back, but they are finally tag team champions again. He then says there has been speculation about their future, then announces that they will be in All Elite Wrestling for the next four years. Wheeler says losing the AEW tag titles was the hardest climb they ever had, but the fans stood by them. He says that these four years will be FTR's last, but until then, they will give everything they have until the wheels fall off and they are not stopping until they are the greatest tag team of all time. Dax Harwood says they were not supposed to make it and that the fans were not supposed to like them, then says that this is their redemption story and that they have fought for this. Harwood says that the only difference between FTR and the fans is the fans and that the fans have been in their corner, and that it is time to repay them with one last ride for the next four years.



Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy, Isiah Kassidy and Hook. Jeff says it feels amazing to be hook, and for the last nine months, he has had to climb out of his personal hell. Matt says that they are ready for the match against The Firm, and when they win, they will be free. He also says that the match will take place at the Hardy compound and that The Firm will be deleted.

We see a video package chronicling the recent events between Wardlow and Powerhouse Hobbs.

Mark Briscoe, Jay Lethal, Satnam Singh and Jeff Jarrett beat "Man Scout" Jake Manning and The Spanish Announce Project (Luther, Serpentico, Angelico) in an eight-man tag match.

We see a video chronicling the recent events between The Elite (Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson) and The Blackpool Combat Club (Claudio Castagnoli, Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta, "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson).

Taya Valkyrie beats Emi Sakura as Jade Cargill and Leila Grey watch from the stage. After the match, Leila Grey tries to attack Taya, but Taya hits her with Road to Valhalla. Jade Cargill then gets in the ring and brawls with Taya, but Jade Cargill resists Road to Valhalla until Leila makes the save, then kicks Taya in the face and hits her with Jaded.



We hear from Jose the Assistant, who announces that Dralistico is openly challenging El Hijo del Vikingo for the AAA Megas Championship.

"Cool Hand" Angelo Parker, "Daddy Magic" Matt Menard and Jake Hager are in the ring. Through rap freestyle, Menard and Parker mock The Acclaimed ("Platinum" Max Caster, Anthony Bowens, "Daddy Ass" Billy Gunn) for not joining The Jericho Appreciation Society, while Hager raps about how he likes his hat. The Acclaimed then show up, and Max Caster forgoes the rap so The Acclaimed can brawl with the three of them. Bowens and "Daddy Ass" Billy Gunn almost get to see how hard Menard's nipples are with a pair of scissors, but Parker and Hager get Menard out of the ring in time. Bowens the challenges the three of them to a tag team match against The Acclaimed next week.



Mark Henry interviews Shawn Spears and "Jungle Boy" Jack Perry. Jungle Boy says he is here to move one step closer to challenging MJF for the AEW World Championship, and he is prepared for anyone in the locker room, including Shawn Spears. Spears says he has been gone for a while, as he has become a father recently. He says that he and MJF no longer talk and that they do not have a problem...yet. He then says that he and Jungle Boy have been chasing the same thing, but he has been chasing it for much longer, and tonight is not Jungle Boy's night.

"Jungle Boy" Jack Perry beats Shawn Spears after countering a La Magistral Cradle with a pinfall attempt of his own. Spears raises Jungle Boy's hand after the match.
