It’s Friday Night and you know what that means. It’s another edition of Rampage and WrestleTalk has all your live coverage right here. Having attended this show in person, I’m excited to watch how they put it together on television.
Tonight’s show features:
- Trent vs. Adam Cole
- Jurassic Express vs. John Silver and Alex Reynolds
- Red Velvet, Layla Hirsch, and Kris Statlander vs. The Bunny, Penelope Ford, and Nyla Rose
- Andrew Everett vs. Shawn Spears
This should be a fun show. Don’t expect much from the crowd though…
It's time for the main event!
We get the typical Rampage dual-screen promo. Silver and Reynolds are their usual goofball selves. Christian fires back. Silver’s response to Christian and mimic of “It’s time for the main event” gets Jungle Boy to break character slightly and laugh.
Jungle Boy and Reynolds start us off. When Luchasaurus gets in, the intensity picks up. Silver gets a hot tag and he is a spark plug. He hits kicks and throws. He packs so much power in his short frame.
At one point, he catches a Jungle Boy Suicide Dive to the outside. He then holds him in a delayed suplex until Reynolds hits a suicide dive of his own. This sends Jungle Boy crashing to the floor.
We get a Tower of Doom spot. Luchasaurus power bombs Silver who back suplexed Jungle Boy who suplexed Reynolds. Silver and Reynolds hit their finishing combo. Near fall.
Jungle Boy hits a huge clothesline. Then the pace goes nuts. Too much to write. At one point, they hit a combo Canadian Destroyer for a near fall. In the end, Jurassic Express get the win after hitting the finish. The champs celebrate in the ring to close the show.
Nice main event there. Silver and Reynolds are a lot of fun to watch.
And now @boy_myth_legend is on the attack! He wipes out @EvilUno with a ‘Rana on @SilverNumber1!

6-woman tag
The frustration between Layla Hirsch and Kris Statlenader is continuing as they both tag themselves in. Red Velvet gets tagged in and takes the beat down leading to the hot tag from Statlander.
Statlander seems next in line for Baker. So, it is a bit jarring for her to be involved in another program with Hirsch.
Statlander had the match won, but Vickie Guerrero distracts the ref. Bunny breaks up the submission move.
Hirsch tags herself in. Statlander and Hirsch argue. Hirsch gets rolled up and Bunny gets the win.
The Bunny, Ford, and Rose gets a big win.
We get a promo from Sky who talks about Sammy and Cody. We cut back to the arena Ricky Starks is talking about Jay Lethal. Jay Lethal comes out and wants to challenge for the FTW Championship.

Shawn Spears
Shawn Spears is here and so is Wardlow. Wardlow had a bad night on Wednesday and looks very angry. Spears is taking on Andrew Everett. Everett is a good one, but he’s not in the shape he once was.
Real quick one. Everett goes for a quick top rope move. This leads to Spears hitting his finisher and getting the win. Nice squash. Then Spears cuts a promo. He talks a lot about his match next week. The crowd does get a Wardlow chant going. Spears says Punk isn’t in the ring with a green guy with less than a year’s experience. Wardlow’s facial expression in the background was fantastic.
Spears promises to win and they move out of the ring.
We then get a dis track from The Acclaimed. After the video, the ladies are in the ring and no entrances for the ladies.

Adam Cole, Bay Bay
Adam Cole is out first and he’s got quite the entourage. The Young Bucks, Redragon, Britt Baker, and Brandon Cutler are all out to the ring. Trent Beretta is coming down to the ring. The Best Friends are down as well.
Trent gets the upperhand early. He sends Cole to the outside. As the match goes on Cole and Trent head back outside. Trent goes for a spear on the outside. Cole steps out of the way and Trent drills the barricade. This lets Cole get back on top.
Cole works over Trent’s neck during the picture in picture. Trent quickly counters and hits a twisting DDT. He follows up with a Superplex. Both men look bad after that one. Cole with a Backstabber and sets up for a superkick. Trent counters with the half and half.
Adam Cole hits the patella brainbuster. Trent with a piledriver on the apron. This has been back and forth. Canadian Destroyer from Cole. Finally, a cover. Near fall.
Cole goes for Panama Zero. Trent counters into Strong Zero. Nick Jackson gets on the apron. The schmoz is on. Everyone is fighting. The ref gets distracted and hits a low blow. He lowers the Boom and gets the pin.
That was a fun, fun match. Up next, Shawn Spears takes on Andrew Everett.
And the final blow is delivered. @AdamColePro takes the win!
