Rampage kicked off live with the four-way tag team match between Aussie Open, Blackpool Combat Club, Dark Order, and Top Flight. Dark Order jumped Claudio and Yuta to kick off the match. Ringside was The Kingdom members Maria Kannelis-Bennett, Mike Bennett, and Matt Taven. Then during the match, LFI was shown watching with intent as well. John Silver then executed a WWE Cesaro-style run:

 

After the match, Dark Order attacked BCC and the two teams brawled. 

Next Jack Perry said there were going to be grave consequences – and since Christian is such a big fan of Luke Perry Jungle Boy is going to give him a chance to say hi to him to which Perry called the match “The Final Burial”

Next, Riho challenged and defeated Emi Sakura in 9:31.

Next, we got a promo featuring Saraya, Jamie Hayter and Ruby Soho.

Powerhouse Hobbs with the Brass Ring in tow was next to squash Serpentico. The idea here was that Hobbs would be waiting for the winner of Somoa Joe vs. Wardlow. 

Takeshita was interviewed backstage and he said he might have to go back to Japan. Don Callis interrupted asking to give him some time to see what he could do with him. 

Mark Briscoe was interviewed and he was joined by the Lucha Bros who extended a challenge for this Sunday at Revolution.

In the main event, Keith Lee & Dustin Rhodes defeated Parker Bourdeaux and Swerve Stickland in 11:02.

During the Excalibur Revolution match review began, Ricky Starks attacked Chris Jericho at the commentary desk which lead to the show going off the air. 

Announced for Revolution this Sunday:

  • Mark Briscoe & Lucha Brothers vs. Varsity Athletes & Ari Daivari 

Announced for Dynamite Next Week in Sacramento, CA:

  • Powerhouse Hobbs vs. Winner of Wardlow/Somoa Joe
