They're On A Rampage - Rampage recap for April 22, 2023

Jon Moxley beats "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels with a bulldog choke into a sleeper. Amazingly, Moxley and Daniels shake hands after the match.



Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Jade Cargill and "Smart" Mark Sterling. Sterling says Jade will get rid of Taya Valkyrie next week, and emphasizes that Taya cannot use the Road to Valhalla or else she will be disqualified.

Hook, Isiah Kassidy and The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) head to the ring. Jeff Hardy says he has worked so hard to get to this moment right now and that he is trying really hard to love himself again, and that the smartest thing for him to do is retire. Jeff Hardy then declares that he will leave AEW at an extreme high than a depressing low. As Matt Hardy gets on the microphone, Stokely Hathaway shows up on the video screen saying that he is pissed and that Matt refuses to get in contact with him regarding their match. Matt says Stokely will know when the time is right, then Stokely teases leaving by saying he is working on being a better man and that he is working on having some patience when The Firm ("All Ego" Ethan Page, Big Bill, Lee Moriarty) suddenly attacks Hook, Kassidy and The Hardys from behind. This does not last long, as The Firm retreats after The Hardys chase after them with chairs.



We hear from Naturally Limitless ("Limitless" Keith Lee and "The Natural" Dustin Rhodes). While Keith Lee has a modicum of respect for Chris Jericho, he would have won had it not been for Swerve Strickland. Dustin Rhodes says that next week on Rampage, they will be in action.

Julia Hart beats Kiera Hogan with Hartless. After the match, Anna Jay A.S. runs into the ring and brawls with Julia Hart, and referees have to restore order.



Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Christopher Daniels. Daniels says he is not here for just respect, but for victory and championships. Suddenly, Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta show up, but Jon Moxley shows up and says Daniels "is cool." After Daniels says that Moxley still has some honor in him, Moxley attacks Daniels, then says that The Blackpool Combat Club (Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, Jon Moxley, "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson) never changed and that everyone else is "out of their damn minds."

Jeff Jarrett, Jay Lethal and FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) beat Slim J and The Varsity Athletes ("The Premier Athlete" Tony Nese, Ari Daivari, "The Technical Beast" Josh Woods) despite Jarrett inadvertently punching Dax when Dax grabs "Smart" Mark Sterling from behind. After the match, Mark Briscoe, who has been watching from backstage, has to play peacemaker between both sides.



We see a video package of Orange Cassidy's reign as AEW All-Atlantic and International Champion.

We hear from The Butcher, The Blade and Kip Sabian. The Blade says that if Kenny Omega and Konosuke Takeshita want to walk around like a couple of tough guys, they will have to get through them first.

El Hijo de Vikingo retains the AAA Megas Championship against Dralistico after Jose the Assistant, Rush and "El Perro Peligroso" Preston Vance get ejected for putting their hands on Vikingo. After the match, Rush, Jose the Assistant and Preston Vance return to attack Vikingo.
