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.

Mark Briscoe beats Slim J.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Tony Deppen. Deppen produces a piece of paper which states that he, Tony Deppen, proclaims that he will do the unthinkable by beating Samoa Joe by pinfall or submission. He says he has either the STF that is better than Samoa Joe's or the classic chickenwing. he says that after sitting front row at Final Battle last year, he knows all of Joe's weak points and he will take full advantage to take back the ROH Television Championship and cement his legacy in Ring of Honor history.

Sterling tells Takeshita that his match tonight is not going to happen, and makes it clear that he does not like him and that "The Technical Beast" Josh Woods wanted his first ROH opponent to be of "a higher caliber." Sterling proposes that they cancel the match and split the winner's purse 55-45, then call it a day before handing Takeshita a contract. Ari Daivari also throws in an extra $10,000. Takeshita tears the contract up and leaves.

We hear from "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels, who talks about the founding of Ring of Honor and how it has come back with new owners, with the competition and his being in the thick of it being the only thing that have not changed. He warns the locker room that despite all that he has done, there is still more that he wants to, and if anyone gets in his way, they should say their prayers.

"The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels beats Rohit Raju.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Rhett Titus and "Hot Sauce" Tracy Williams. Titus says the path remains the same, and that path is back to the mountaintop. Williams says he has worked his entire life to get to ROH, as it is the professional wrestling that he loves and what he feels it should be. He talks about the success that he and Titus had a team that was snatched away from them, and that they will work harder than ever to restore honor to ROH. Suddenly, Aussie Open (Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis) show up. Kyle Fletcher says there is no better tag team right now than Aussie Open and challenges them to a tag team match. Titus and William accept.

Konosuke Takeshita beats "The Techinal Beast" Josh Woods.

Madison Rayne and Skye Blue beat The Renegades (Charlette and Robyn Renegade).

Next week: Dalton Castle is in action!

Ian Riccaboni interviews Wheeler Yuta in the ring. Wheeler Yuta says he is not a junior member, a rookie or a hot, young upstart, but a champion, and he became champion by surrounding himself with three of the greatest wrestlers of all time in Claudio Castagnoli, Jon Moxley and "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson. He then says that he is free next week, and if anyone wants to wrestle the ROH Pure Championship away from him, they should make themselves known right now. Timothy Thatcher shows up and introduces himself, then says he is not a big fan of talking but a big fan of fighting, and if Yuta is offering a challenge for the Pure Championship, he accepts.

Next week: Samoa Joe in action!

Willow Nightingale beats Lady Frost. After the match Ian Riccaboni interviews Willow, who says she has picked up a few wins as of late and has been on a roll, and the next logical step is challenging Athena for the ROH Women's World Championship. Suddenly, Athena shows up and congratulates Willow on her win, then says that Willow is happy to be here and says that if she were happy to be here, she would not be champion. Athena then "accepts [her] mediocre offer" of challenge, then wants to know that when she beats her ass all over the arena, she is nothing but porcelain and lucky enought to be in her division.
