AEW Rampage for Friday, August 19

• ROH World Champion Claudio Castagnoli came out with Wheeler Yuta. He gave a shout out to Ricky Steamboat, who was in the front row. He issued an open challenge for next week’s show. Dustin Rhodes came out to accept the challenge.
• Keith Lee and Swerve Strickland defeated Private Party to retain the AEW World Tag Team titles.
• The Factory were playing cards backstage when Powerhouse Hobbs arrived, flipping the table. QT Marshall promised that they would take care of Ricky Starks.
• Hook defeated Zack Clayton to retain the FTW Championship. A promo aired after the match with Angelo Parker and Matt Mernard talking about challenging for the FTW title.
• Buddy Matthews (with Julia Hart) defeated Serpentico. Miro came out after the match as he and Matthews brawled.
• Athena defeated Penelope Ford with the eclipse. After the match, Red Velvet and Kiera Hogan attacked Athena and held her as Jade Cargill appeared and destroyed Athena’s ring gear with a sledgehammer. She then came to the ring and attacked Athena with the sledgehammer.
• Best Friends (Trent Beretta, Chuck Taylor, and Orange Cassidy) defeated The Trustbusters (Ari Daivari, Slim J, and Parker Boudreaux) to advance in the AEW Trios Tag Team title tournament. Sonny Kiss interfered during the match, and Danhausen appeared to curse the Trustbusters. Best Friends won after Cassidy jumped off of Taylor's and Beretta's shoulders with a splash on Slim J.
