It was a squash match to make Athena be a threat to Jade.
And maybe setup an AEW Women's Tag Title scene.
Not a great match, but I get why it was there.

They could've at least had Jade beat down Kris and Kiera beat down Athena. Either way that was a bad post match beatdown.
On one hand: Asuka alone is eclipsing the entire AEW women's division (but i mean, Asuka's super great so)
on the other: I watched Indi Hartwell vs. Lash Legend this week
Gresham vs. Moriarty was really damn good. Moriarty is excellent at this. A workhorse and star for years to come. Just special watching that man work, and Gresham played his part well as a tactical heel. Loved so much about that match with every move feeling like it meant something.
Claudio vs. Gresham is such an interesting matchup. I could even see Claudio winning it! Gresh has defended the ROH title quite a few times already outside of AEW TV.

Stat and Athena walked to that ring like total bosses and steamrolled their competition. I dug it, but yeah, they got taken out a bit too easily in the post-match.

What the hell was that match? Rush bumps into Bryce, he looks dead at him, and acts like he didn't see anything.
And fucking hell, Fenix seems to be injured again.
I'm not gonna lie, Rampage is starting to lose it's "must-see" appeal to me. I know a lot of it is due to all of the injuries, but it's starting to feel like an extended episode of Dark imo. I'll still watch it, but I just haven't been digging it much as of late.

This one felt particularly bad. Just a bunch of random tag matches, an awful womens match, and a solid Gresham/Lee match that made way for Claudio.
Rampages are... interesting
I've always- even at it's peak- felt it's all auxiliary. It's a extra hour of television filmed after the main show, and it shows: crowds gotta be sweetened, and even then reactions can be outright bleh, and booking has been inconsistent since it's inception imo.
So eh, it's good background watching at worst, and at best you get insane quality that can dwarf a dynamite even.

Decent main event, but I preferred the opening tag match. Definitely one of the more inconsequential Rampages in a minute, but I still largely enjoyed it.
Gresham vs. Moriarty was very, very good.
HOB and Silver and Reynolds smacked the hell out of each other.
Got to see Kris and Athena look totally dominant.
Miro!
Christopher Daniels maybe showing up in ROH in the future?
Isaiah Kassidy popped me numerous times with his antics.
The Acclaimed as babyfaces are going to go places. And soon.
Not gonna speculate on any potential injury to Fenix. The limping looked quite real, though, so we'll see soon enough.

I find a lot of Rampages to be really solid hours of great wrestling. Tonight though, extremely meh. Definitely a throwaway episode. Although Gresham vs Moriarty was very good.
It's one-hour duration makes for some stupid good pacing, so throwaway eps pretty much go by in a snap at least
Some fun stuff in that Rampage, plus some wonky stuff too
Show Rating: C+
Two good to great matches. A fun Acclaimed/Gunn Club segment as well. Some messy things as well. Slightly above average show but completely unimportant.
Kings of the Black Throne vs John Silver & Alex Reynolds - ***1/2
- Great match
- My MOTN
- Silver & Reynolds are a great team and I hope they'll be used more
- Lots of fun sequences in this match
- Liked the angle with Darby/Sting & House of Black
- Miro is hiding his eye. Interested to see what happens. A feud between Miro & Malakai is money. Or maybe he joins the House of Black?
ROH World Championship: Jonathan Gresham © vs Lee Moriarty - ***
- Good match
- I've been impressed each time I've seen Gresham
- Gresham vs Claudio will be great. Wonder if they'll take the belt off Gresham?
- The Athena & Kris Statlander squash was quick but fun
- The beat down after the match not so much. Need a direction for this feud fast
- Looks like Stokley might be recruiting more people to his stable. Lee Moriarty will benefit greatly from him.
- Looking forward to Dante vs Lee next week
- Loved everything about the Gunn Club/Acclaimed segment.
- Acclaimed are one of the most popular acts in AEW right now and this will only help them get more over
- The Gunn Club will also benefit from this. Great little feud
Private Party vs Lucha Bros - **1/2
- Messy but average match
- Some miscommunication and botches brought this down
- Hope Fenix isn't injured again. Dude can't catch a break
- Weird ending with Rush. Maybe an audible was called?

A fair rating. I'd say the below-expectations main and the weak post-match to Athena/Stat put this one down a bit. Otherwise, I REALLY enjoyed the opening tag match and the post-match staredown between Malakai and Sting, and Lee vs. Gresham.
Definitely looking forward to ROH getting their own TV soon, though.
Caught up on Rampage this morning and I was dying at Jericho referring to himself and the painmaker as "we" like the fucking Venom symbiote lmao
- Dark Order vs HOB was good. Darby and a Sting/Black staredown! Conflicted Miro.
- Moriarty vs Gresham (c) was my MOTN. Top notch selling from both. Cage back on TV. Claudio! Death Before Dishonor looking stacked.
- Renegades vs Statlander & Athena was a fun squash.
- Acclaimed as babyfaces should be interesting.
- Private Party vs Lucha Bros was solid. Not used to Quen without colored hair.

lol I think that was Chris referring to him and Eddie then having to think on his feet to cover it up.
Fyter Fest Week 2 Dynamite Card
I'll take a six-woman tag match. That should be a good one.
But they could've cut that Blondes match in favor of something like Thunderstorm vs Britt & Hayter.

Waiting for the surprise sixth match announcement unless Jericho and Kingston are going 40 minutes.
That's a pretty great card. Not feeling the Christian/Varsity Blonds beef as it seemed just like an excuse to have Christian comments on Brian's dad. I guess they could redeem this match/segment if Jungle Boy shows up but we'll see.
Hoping Leila Grey makes a good showing as its a good sign that women from Dark/Elevation are starting to get more opportunities on TV (Marina Shafir being the other recent one). I know the results with Shafir have been mixed but they'll never find other talent if they don't give them a chance.
Also, Willow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a big gimmick match, so that could very much be a 40 minute block set for that.
Same. Same. though the outcome of that match is a foregone conclusion cause even if Jade doesn't take the fall, that would still by AEW logic count as a loss towards her streak. I still wanna see it though.
TONIGHT
ANOTHER GREAT NIGHT OF AEW ACTION IN THE GREAT STATE OF GEORGIA FANS
Last I heard, this wasn't sold out yet and neither was the last Dynamite held in that arena in Duluth. Why they wouldn't just hold it in State Farm Arena, I don't know.
AEW's booking of locations is absolutely baffling, and it sucks that no one will straight up ask TK about it.
Cheap arenas that aren't lccked in with WWE, preferably on college campus's.
