7/14 Rampage Spoilers (plus dark matches)

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

Before Dynamite began, AEW had two dark matches:

- Taya Valkyrie defeated Ava Lawless
- Kip Sabian defeated Jason Geiger

AEW Rampage:

- Taya Valkyrie defeated Izzy McQueen. After the match, Toni Storm and Saraya came out and confronted Valkyrie. Valkyrie challenged Storm to an AEW Women's title match for Battle of the Belts. Storm eventually agreed to the match, saying she would embarrass Valkyrie in Calgary in front of all her countrymen and family members.

- Lance Archer (with Jake Roberts) defeated Trent Beretta (with Chuck Taylor). After the match, Archer laid out Taylor and challenged Orange Cassidy for the AEW International title at Battle of the Belts. Archer said if Cassidy didn’t come out, the Best Friends were going to die. Cassidy came out. Archer went to chokeslam Cassidy, but Roberts encouraged him not to as he wouldn’t be able to win the title that way.

- Konosuke Takeshita defeated Mentallo

- Willow Nightingale defeated Athena to advance to the finals of the Owen Hart Foundation women’s tournament. She will face Ruby Soho in Calgary.

Congrats to Ruby for winning the Owen Cup this Saturday(seems obvious to me that Athena will help Ruby beat Willow after the Outcast are banned from ringside again).

As much as I love Willow, I REALLY think Ruby should win. Having Ruby go to the finals two years in a row (the first two years in fact) just to lose, would be so lame. Also it’d actually be the THIRD tournament in AEW that she’s been in that she would hav lost in the finals.

Why did Tony Khan give an unlimited title match cheat code to Taya Valkyrie

Why aren't they just having the Statlander/Taya TBS Title match on BotBs? That match and the FTW Title match would have at least offered some unpredictability.

TWO WOMEN'S MATCHES! A true miracle is upon us!

I'm waiting for Taya to eventually snap tbh, all these title shots she's unable to win, I think she's fast approaching the record for it

Lance Archer vs Orange Cassidy probably main events BOTB, and it'd be a damn great match. If Archer beat Orange I wouldn't even mind, dude's been terrific in Japan lately

Can't wait to see Willow and Athena's match tbh, definitely sets up a match at Death Before Dishonor

[asuka007]

It is a bit weird that Taya can just keep getting title matches despite losing so much. But I assume it’s leading somewhere.

Honestly her in the Outcasts might be fun?

[Hypnosis]

I'm guessing the first match was a squash, but still, nice to see two women's matches for Rampage this week.

[stevescorpio]

Two women's matches? Is Tony feeling OK?

That being said, I could do without Taya getting yet another title shot even if it's her hometown.

[The Summer of Muskrat XVII]

I am so f***ing happy Willow won, was pissed when that match got postponed in Regina. Hopefully she wins the tournament and then wins the ROH Women’s Championship.

[asuka007]

I’d rather Athena cost her the match.

Ruby FINALLY gets a big win (in a heelish way).

Set up an ROH Women’s Title Match for Willow, which she can hopefully win.

What happened to the Naturally Limitless vs. 2.0 match that was announced?
