AEW Rampage *SPOILERS* taped 7/19/23

[Chris]

The following are live spoilers for this Friday's AEW Rampage, taped after Dynamite in Boston on Wednesday night.

In the featured match, Darby Allin won the 20-man Royal Rampage match to earn a TNT title shot at September's All Out.

Allin, beaten down for the majority of the bout, and Swerve Strickland were the final two men in the match. Allin survived several near eliminations by Strickland, including one after getting power bombed on the wheels of his skateboard (brought in by Prince Nana earlier), and eventually hit a flying spear that sent both men to the floor. Because Strickland's back hit first, Allin won.

There was one true surprise entrant for the crowd: Minoru Suzuki.

Here's the order of entrants and eliminations. Note that the match started with four men in the ring with others entering every few minutes:

Entrants:

1. Darby Allin
2. Swerve Strickland
3. Jay Lethal
4. Nick Wayne
5. Minoru Suzuki
6. Brian Cage
7. Ethan Page
8. Komander
9. The Butcher
10. Big Bill
11. The Blade
12. Brother Zay
13. Toa Liona
14. Matt Sydal
15. Bishop Kaun
16. Matt Hardy
17. Matt Menard
18. Jeff Jarrett
19. Angelo Parker
20. Jake Hager

The match had several callbacks to recent and past AEW angles including a staredown between Allin and Page, and Strickland and Wayne. Hardy, Menard and Jarrett all got back-to-back-to-back loud ovations when they came out.

Eliminations:

1. Lethal by Page
2. Page by Suzuki
3. Suzuki by Butch
4. Zay by Cage
5. Butch by Kaun
6. Blade by Liona
7. Sydal by Cage
8. Hager by Komander
9. Komander by Bill
10. Menard by Liona
11. Parker by Kaun (Menard and Parker were eliminated at the same time by Liona and Kaun while they were on the apron)
12. Jarrett by Hardy
13. Hardy by Bill
14. Bill by Swerve (thanks to momentum by Wayne)
15. Kaun by Allin and Wayne
16. Cage by Wayne
17. Wayne by Strickland
18. Liona by Allin
19. Strickland by Allin

Quick results:

• Darby Allin won the 20-man Royal Rampage match to earn a TNT title shot at All Out
• TBS Champion Kris Statlander defeated Marina Shafir to retain
• The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn defeated QTV (QT Marshall, Aaron Solo & Johnny TV)

Notes:

• After the post-match speech and handshake between the Blackpool Combat Club and The Golden Elite that was off air, the breakdown of Blood & Guts to Rampage took about 15-20 minutes. Rampage started around 10:30 PM with the Royal Rampage match going between 40-45 minutes including intros.
• In the night's lone dark match, Kip Sabian (w/ Penelope Ford) defeated Serpentico (w/ Luther).

I do wonder if the All Out TNT title shot is an error or not, because that's a long ass time for OC to still hold the belt. If it's for real, I could see Swerve taking the belt before that somehow

So that way you can have Darby vs Swerve again and maybe have the final match of their rivalry. That is what I am assuming and what I was thinking.

I totally misread that, my apologies and this makes way more sense regardless when the match is
