The 100th episode of AEW Rampage featured the Elite versus the Dark Order, Hikaru Shida versus Marina Shafir, and more blind tag team eliminator action featuring Matt Hardy, Jeff Jarrett, Sammy Guevara, Daniel Garcia, Brian Cage, and Trent Beretta.
Highlights:
- The night kicked off with a six-man tag featuring the Elite‘s Young Bucks and Hangman Adam Page taking on the Dark Order‘s Alex Reynolds, Evil Uno, and John Silver. Fun six-man action playing on the ongoing feud between the Dark Order and their old friend. Dark Order steal the victory with some shenanigans from Konosuke Takeshita and Claudio Castagnoli.
- The first of the two blind-eliminator tag team matches featured Daniel Garcia and Sammy Guevara taking on the team of Matt Hardy and Jeff Jarrett with Jarrett’s minions at ringside. Match turned with Jarrett’s goons failing to get Hardy to cheat and win eventually leading to Garcia stealing a pin from Guevara with both teams showing some dysfunction. Post-match beatdown of Hardy with Ethan Page making the save.
- Hikaru Shida defeated Marina Shafir with the Katana. Shida was over with the crowd, but AEW still hasn’t found a way to get fans interested in Shafir.
- The night’s main event was another blind tag-team match featuring Matt Sydal and Trent Beretta against Brian Cage and Big Bill. Basic speedy versus beefy teams storytelling here, but a fun match that other than the opening match got the loudest reaction from the crowd. Eventual power overwhelmed the tag team moves of Sydal and Beretta allowing Cage and Bill to advance.
