This past Wednesday night was another epic evening in the annals of AEW history as DYNAMITE emanated from the brand-new Fishers Event Center in Fishers, IN! Not only did fans witness two amazing Continental Classic bouts pitting Claudio Castagnoli against Brody King and Kyle Fletcher against Shelton Benjamin, but they also saw a hard-hitting fight between Anna Jay and Penelope Ford, as well as watched Orange Cassidy, Jay White, and Hangman Page unite (even if just for a moment) to rock AEW World Champion Jon Moxley and The Death Riders!
Tonight on RAMPAGE fans will see the 2024 Continental Classic continue with three huge match-ups, one in the Gold League with Ricochet facing Komander in the latter's first C2 bout as Juice Robinson's alternate, and two in the Blue League with TNT Champion Daniel Garcia facing The Beast Mortos and AEW Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada versus Mark Briscoe! Plus we will see The Vendetta of Deonna Purrazzo and Taya Valkyrie in tag team action for the very first time, and so much more when RAMPAGE gets underway at 10pm ET/9pm CT on TNT!
It's one of the most loaded editions of AEW's Friday night delight that's ever aired, so get ready for it all with a to visit AEW's official YouTube channel to watch highlights from DYNAMITE, as well as previous editions of RAMPAGE and COLLISION! Then Join us Saturday night at GalaxyCon in Columbus, OH for a special night of COLLISION where Willow Nightingale and Serena Deeb compete in their WRESTLE DYNASTY 2025 International Women's Cup Qualifier, and THREE Continental Classic matches are set to go down!
CONTINENTAL CLASSIC...
Gold League
Ricochet (0) vs. Komander (0)
Unfortunately Juice Robinson has sustained an injury necessitating him stepping down from competing in the Continental Classic, but where his door closes, one has opened for high-flying sensation Komander! Tonight, as part of the RAMPAGE taping, he steps into the 2024 C2 for his first match while Ricochet attempts to rebound from his loss last week against Claudio Castagnoli. Can the first alternate shake things up with a victory in his first Gold League match, or will Ricochet be able to score his first points after last week's loss? We've already seen one draw in the first round, so there's also that third possibility that these two denizens of the sky will balance each other out and go the distance!
Blue League
TNT Champion Daniel Garcia (1) vs. The Beast Mortos (0)
Speaking of that draw, TNT Champion Daniel Garcia is back in action after going to a stalemate with AEW Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada, and now faced with the monstrous Beast Mortos as his second opponent in the Blue League! Last year Garcia proved himself more than capable of taking down a powerhouse when he bested Brody King, so can he do it again in this first-time match? We know Mortos is ready to bring the pain after falling to Kyle Fletcher in his first league battle, can he put his first points on the board at the TNT Champion's expense? And if he does defeat Garcia, could that put Mortos in line for a title fight as well?
AEW Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada (1) vs. Mark Briscoe (0)
As for the other champion in the Blue League, this week Kazuchika Okada is set to face-off with a man he's shared a ring with nine other times over the last nine years, yet never once met in a singles match: former ROH World Champion Mark Briscoe! From 2015 and 2017, “Chicken” and “The Rainmaker” were both ally and enemy for six matches between Ring of Honor and NJPW, splitting their two matches as foes while going 1-3 in their bouts as allies. Since coming to AEW, the two men have been in the same ring on three occasions, once inside Blood & Guts, once as part of the Casino Gauntlet at ALL IN: LONDON 2024, and finally in the 4-Way AEW Continental Championship bout at ALL OUT 2024 where Okada pinned Orange Cassidy to retain.
That brings us to tonight where, as part of the RAMPAGE taping for this Friday night, the two men meet one-on-one for the first time with crucial points in the Blue League on the line! Okada netted a single point last week in that draw with Daniel Garcia while Mark posted zero after losing to Shelton Benjamin in their clash. Can Mark bounce back to avoid repeating his 2023 Continental Classic performance, or will the reigning Continental Champion get his first victory of the tournament?
