Golden 1 Center – Sacramento, CA

By: John Kleinchester

Rampage kicked off in-ring with Sammy Guevara vs. Action Andretti. The two had a competitive match with a number of impressive spots including Andretti hitting a diving splash off the top rope all the way onto Sami through the unmoved timekeeper’s table. 

BRUTAL DDT by @sammyguevara!

The finish saw Guevara feign an injury to distract the referee just long enough to allow Daniel Garcia to knock Andretti off the ropes. Sammy then put Action away with the GTH.

After a commercial break, a Jungle Boy Jack Perry promo package aired saying that his rivalry with Christian Cage was over but if Cage taught him one thing it was “how to pick your shot”. Perry went on to warn all titleholders that he would be seeing one of them very soon.

The Acclaimed were out to the ring next. Caster’s rap included a reference to Walgreens falling out with California. The Acclaimed defeated Starboy Charlie & Jack Cartwheel with the Mic Drop in under two minutes. After the match, Matt Menard and Angelo Parker came out onto the stage to seemingly challenge The Acclaimed.

Preston Vance was out next and wore a “necklace” of the masks he’s been collecting from other wrestlers. Konosuke Takeshita would be his opponent which also lead to Don Callis sitting in for commentary and admitting that he may have already talked to Takeshita backstage. Takeshita pinned Vance with a backslide to score the victory.

An incredible victory for @takesoup!

Swerve Stickland cut a promo backstage wondering if he had underestimated Keith Lee and said that Lee had put both of the Mogul Affiliates on the shelf. Swerve said he has something “bigger” in store for Lee and he would never see it coming.

The main event featured a rematch from the very first Dynamite in October 2019: Nyla Rose vs. Riho. Marina Shafir grabbed Riho’s foot causing a distraction but Riho was able to recover and get the roll up for the victory.

And RIHO scores the win with a last-second counter!

After the match, Nyla and Marina jumped Riho and beat her down, leaving her laying in the ring. Ruby Soho, Saraya, and Toni Storm came out and approached Marina Shafir. Shafir let them pass and the trio spray-painted their patented “L” on Riho in the ring with the announce team referring to them as “The Outcasts”. 

#TheOutcasts @realrubysoho @Saraya and #ToniStorm have declared war on the homegrown stars of the #AEW women's division!
