MATCH 1: CMLL INVASION- TWO OUT OF THREE FALLS-ROCKY ROMERO VS MISTICO

Romero is hot right now. Romero absolutely smashes Mistico from behind and tosses him outside the ring. Romero follows it up by tossing him into the steel steps before tossing him back into the ring. Romero trying to tear the mask off of Mistico as the referee tries to step in. I really don’t like this. It happens way too often in matches with a masked wrestler now. Cheap heat. Not for me. Romero him with a series of clotheslines and irish whips. Romero goes for a half camel clutch. Series of swings and misses as Mistico capitalizes with a takedown arm drag from walking the ropes.

Mistico frees himself as Romero kicks him in the back of the head before following up with slice bread to pick up the win. That’s the leveller. One fall a piece and were in to sudden death. No real surprise. This happens in every 2 out of 3 fall match.

Mistico with a beautiful crossbody from off the side ring ropes. Serious hangtime as Mistico gets the near fall. Mistico with a scoop slam as he heads for the top ropes again.

Romero sent into the corner as Mistico tried looking for an avalanche suplex. Romero counters with an avalanche slice bread as somehow Mistico kicks out. Mistico catches Romero from the top rope as he connects with the Spanish fly. OMG!! Somehow Romero kicks out as Mistico can’t believe it. I cant either to be fair. Romero with a jawbreaker, and a swing and miss as Mistico gets him with the destroyer, followed by a swinging hurricarana turned La Mistica for the submission victory!
Your winner : Mistico
What. A. Match. If you do nothing else this weekend just make sure you try and catch this match. What a showing from both these men. As I said at the start this should have been your main event. No pressure to whoever has to follow this one.
Stokley Hathaway is with Jay Lethal and Eddie Kingston. Lethal wants a shot for the ROH WORLD Championship. Stokley suggests the idea of Kingston vs Jeff Jarrett in a Memphis street fight on Collision. Rules are if Jeff wins then Kingston will have to defend the title against Lethal

MATCH 2: NO. 1 CONTENDER FOR AEW INTERCONTINENTAL CHANPIONSHIP-BROTHER ZAY VS KIP SABIAN VS JOHN SILVER
Sabian attacks Zay from behind as Zay comes right back with a dropkick that connects straight to the mouth. Zay with a tope between the ropes on Silver who had rolled out of the ring at the start of this one. Zay tries going for Sabian, but Sabian clocks him in the face. Zay almost picked up a near fall on Sabian while Silver is down in the corner. Zay tries looking for the twist of fate as Sabian counters. Zay lands into Silver who kicks him as Silver also connects with a suplex onto Sabian for a near fall. This comes after Silver connected with a tornado launch of Sabian into Zay. YAMBAG CITY. That was fun. The strength of John Silver is ridiculous. Brother Zay launches over the ropes into Evil Uno, the rest of Dark Order and Sabian. Zay gets Sabian back in the ring and tries for a pinfall as Silver breaks it up by punting Zay in the head. That looked nasty. Sabian is moved out the way as Silver pins Zay for the win.
Winner: John Silver
This should have been given more time. Three excellent wrestlers but this just felt like a filler match. Fans couldn’t really get behind this. John Silver will now face Orange Cassidy at battle of the belts. Certainly see Cassidy coming out on top in that one.
We Finally get the announcement that next week the two former proud and powerful members will be going one on one. It will be Ortiz v Santana on next week’s rampage. I cannot wait for that one.

MATCH 3: CLAUDIO CASTANOGLI & WHEELER YUTA VS EXODUS PRIME & “THE BOUNTY HUNTER” BRYAN KEITH
Keith starts things with Yuta as he comes out hot! Chops to the chest, strikes to the head, and a running clothesline. Exodus tags himself in as Yuta plants him with the Manhattan drop. Claudio follows up with a clothesline. Claudio with another clothesline to Keith who’s sent over the top rope. Claudio with a running uppercut on Keith as he goes back in the ring for the giant swing on Prime. Yuta with the dropkick to the head and it’s followed up with the fastball special to end this one.
Your winner: Blackpool Combat Club
One word for this one. Squash. Nothing else to add. Building Yuta and Claudio strong but this was nothing more than a squash.
Backstage with the former JAS. Arguments start but Hager and Anna Jay tell them they need to squash the beef if they want to win the trios titles. Menard tells Garcia he hates his dancing but loves him so it’s squashed. This one is not done. Expect to see Garcia moving on alone after this feud.
HungBucks with an open challenge for any trio for the ROH trio titles.

In the words of Mark Henry; It's time for your main event!
MATCH 4: SKYE BLUE VS RUBY SOHO
Chop to the chest of Skye who demands more chops. Ruby obliges but it doesn’t faze her as Skye comes back with chops of her own. Ruby with the back-heel trip on Skye, followed by a short arm lariat. Swing and miss by Ruby as Skye capitalizes with a thrust kick. Skye with a kick to Ruby’s head as Ruby comes back with a kick to the midsection. Skye sent face first into the ring apron.

Ruby with the rollup for the victory.
Your winner: Ruby Soho
Another defeat for Skye Blue. Surely only a matter of time before we see the full turn of Skye Blue. I know ive said it before but I am all in for Skye joining the house of black. I feel like it is coming. I may be wrong but a guy can dream. Could this be the perfect time to introduce the womens tag team titles for Skye and Julia Hart.
Post-match, Ruby and Saraya jump Skye but Kris Statlander comes out for the save. They clear the ring as Kris tries to check on Skye. Skye Blue isn’t having any of it as she turns her back on Statlander and walks out.
Not a bad episode of Rampage this week. An incredible opening match and then build up for Battle of the belts and the continuing story of Skye Blue. Thanks for reading guys and ill be back tomorrow for Collision.
