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



Naturally Limitless ("The Natural" Dustin Rhodes and "Limitless" Keith Lee) beat The Jericho Appreciation Society ("Cool Hand" Angelo Parker and "Daddy Magic" Matt Menard).



It's time for QTV. QT Marshall says he will fix things with Powerhouse Hobbs, then mentions that Harley Cameron's diss track has been doing well. We then see footage of Johnny TV telling The Acclaimed ("Platinum" Max Caster, Anthony Bowens, "Daddy Ass" Billy Gunn) that Harley Cameron burned them and that he wants them in a six-man tag match against himself, Aaron Solo and QT Marshall next week.

Taya Valkyrie quickly beats Izzy McQueen. After the match, Toni Storm and Saraya head to the ring. Toni congratulates Taya on her win and notes she has not been winning a lot lately, and tells her that she has been losing so much because she is a loser and that she is a loser because she is Canadian. Taya asks Toni if she has something else to be worried about, like her championship, but Toni says she is not worried because she has beaten everyone. Taya reminds Toni that they have never even touched, much less wrestled each other, and Toni says she has never had the opportunity. Taya says she will give her that opportunity in a first-ever match-up with the AEW Women's World Championship on the line at Battle of the Belts VII. After some teasing from Taya that she is worried, Toni snaps and tells Taya that she will embarrass her in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.



In footage from the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York, Hook accepts "Jungle Boy" Jack Perry's challenge for the FTW Championship next week.

Lance Archer beats Trent Beretta. After the match, Archer attacks Chuck Taylor when he checks on Beretta, then calls Orange Cassidy out to challenge him for the AEW International Championship at Battle of the Belts VII, and tells them to get in the ring or else Taylor and Beretta die. As he is about to choke slam Taylor and Beretta, Orange Cassidy shows up and the match is made official before Orange gets in the ring and gets grabbed by the neck. Archer grabs Orange by the neck, but Jake "The Snake" Roberts tells Archer to let him go, telling him not to "screw the pooch" and that "the golden goose comes Saturday" before walking off with Orange's backpack and telling Orange that he will have to beat Archer on Saturday if he wants his title back.



We hear from Sonjay Dutt, Jay Lethal, Jeff Jarrett, Satnam Singh, Karen Jarrett, "All Ego" Ethan Page, Matt Hardy and Brother Zay. We find out that everyone will be in the Royal Rampage this year.

Before the next match, Don Callis introduces Konosuke Takeshita's opponent, Mentallo, as not just any wrestler, and says he is here because he is the childhood friend of Kenny Omega and that he was Omega's first training partner. He then says that is not his fault, and that he is here because Kenny Omega has a fundamental weakness in his need to be surrounded by "his idiot friends." He then tells Mentallo that this is not his fault before he sics Takeshita on him.

Konosuke Takeshita beats Mentallo.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews The Dark Order (Evil Uno, Alex Reynolds, John Silver). Silver says they turned on "Hangman" Adam Page because he deserved it and because people leave them and they do nothing about it, and that they made Hangman a World Champion and yet they abandoned us. Alex Reynolds says that while Hangman was a world champion, The Dark Order became soft when they should have been the lions of AEW, and their turning on Hangman became their resurrection. Evil Uno says they will no longer waste time on fake friends, and asks the fans whether or not they are Dark Order.

Willow Nightingale beats Athena to advance to the finals of the women's Owen Hart Foundation Tournament after using Athena's momentum against her to pin her shoulders to the mat.
