“The Real Deal” Jake Slater & “WildChild” Joey Kidman defeated Officer Chris Jacobs & Jacob Ashworth via pinfall
Referee: Stan Robinson
Match starts with Kidman and Jacobs chaining leading to an early advantage for Jacobs and Ashworth. After taking a beating for a bit, Kidman tags Slater in, who initially doesn’t get much better treatment, but catching Jacobs with a neckbreaker from the turnbuckle turns the tide of the match. Slater and Kidman lay the heat on Jacobs, with Ashworth suck in the corner looking on. Kidman amusingly throws a fit after Jacobs continues to kick out of his pin attempts. After fighting back, Jacobs rolls passed Kidman to make a hot tag to Ashworth, who goes to town on Slater and the WildChild. Kidman and Jacobs end up fighting on the outside, with Kidman overcoming Jacobs just in time to help Slater secure a dirty pin using the ropes. Looks like Slater and Kidman’s rough start isn’t going to slow them down in RPW.
AJ Steele defeated The Ninja via pinfall
Referee: Danny Star
This match looks to be a squash from the get go. After Ninja delivers some kicks which didn’t seem to phase AJ, it all seems to go downhill for him. The referee seems to have a lot of trouble controlling the match as AJ continues to ignore him. As AJ seems to be ready to shoot Ninja off the corner, a “Chops” chant from the crowd comes up and AJ delivers. AJ plants Ninja with a standing black hole slam for the finish.
J-Rod defeated “Untouchable” Jeremy Vain (w/ Manager Charlie Cash) via pinfall
Referee: Dustin Robinson
J-Rod mimics Vain’s entrance and mocks Vain’s lack of a Heavyweight Title before the match. With a quick distraction by Cash, Vain takes control early on with a very aggressive offense. J-Rod wastes no time to show some aggression on his end and quickly takes back control, adding a little humor resembling Colt Cabana. Vain regains control and lays some heat on J-Rod, with Cash getting a cheap shot in. This “new and improved” Jeremy Vain, as Cash refers to him, is a very nice contrast to the cowardly champion we’ve seen at Rampage for the past year (taking into account that he held the TV title for almost a year and almost immediately won the Heavyweight Title after). After some huge fist exchanges, J-Rod takes over the match and lands the Superman Knee for the win. After the match, Judge comes out and lays the claw on J-Rod much to Cash’s approval. Valentine rushes to the ring with a chair in hand to ward off Judge and save J-Rod.
Sal Rinauro makes his way to commentary, meaning a high potential for a Jimmy Rave Approved match is about to come up.
Officer Chris Jacobs & Anthony Henry & Tommy Daniels defeated Jimmy Rave Approved (Mike Posey & Corey Hollis & Patrick Bentley) via pinfall
Referee: Stan Robinson
Hollis is back from his very short-lived suspension, and starts the match off with Henry with some impressive technical wrestling. Hollis shows some tension with the Approved members throughout the match, obviously not on the same page since his suspension at the hands of Chip Day. Posey is tagged in unwillingly and takes some punishment from Jacobs and Daniels, before tagging Hollis back in the same way. Hollis tags Posey back in and decides not to do some of their usual double-teaming shenanigans, and Posey eventually just tags Bentley into the match. Approved shows a bit of unison when Hollis capitalizes on a distraction by Posey to keep the advantage. The crowd gets behind Daniels in hopes for him to make a tag, but are shut down when Hollis plants Daniels and makes another chest-slapping tag to Posey. Daniels takes down Posey and gets a huge pop from the crowd to tag Henry in. Posey goes to make a tag just to see his fellow Approved members leave the corner. Henry forces Posey to submit with his partners standing right next to him watching.
Posey goes to say that he wants Anthony Henry in a 1 on 1 match and says that it would not only be Jimmy Rave Approved, but Mike Posey Preferred. Doc Gayton comes out to say that Posey will have what he asked for at the next show. Bentley and Hollis look on unimpressed at the gesture. Posey leaves alone while Bentley and Hollis leave in unison.
NWA Rampage Pro Wrestling Television Title Match
“Do Or Die” Chip Day defeated Frankie Valentine(C) via pinfall to become the new NWA RPW TV Champion
Referee: Dustin Robinson
A lot of tension fills the ring with Valentine and Day pushing each other before the belt is even raised and the match finally starts. The match itself starts at a fast pace with neither man holding a clear advantage. Valentine manages to come out with the advantage by constantly slowing Chip down with submissions. When the action goes to the outside, a missed vaulting crossbody puts Valentine at Chip’s mercy. A lot of chops, fists, elbows, and kicks are exchanged. After using the ropes to save him from a falling knee facebuster, Chip delivers a nasty kick to the face of Valentine to secure the win.
Approved comes out to help Chip Day celebrate. Doc Gayton comes out to congratulate Chip Day. Chip Day goes on to say he’ll be the “fightingest champion” and that he’ll take on anybody. Doc Gayton goes on to bring out Drew Adler and tells Chip that he’s gotta defend the title immediately.
NWA Rampage Pro Wrestling Television Title Match
Drew Adler defeated “Do or Die” Chip Day(C) via pinfall to become the new NWA RPW TV Champion
Referee: Dustin Robinson
Adler comes out and this squash lasted about a minute, with Adler landing his finisher early on and pinning Day with the Approved members right outside the ring watching. The Washington Bullets, Sal Rinauro, and Anthony Henry came out to celebrate with Drew. This makes Chip Day’s reign with the Television Title the shortest title reign in RPW.
Anthony Henry defeats Mike Posey via pinfall
Referee: Stan Robinson
Posey notably comes out alone. The match starts with some nice chaining until Posey goes to the ropes to get safe. Henry goes to lock in an early clover leaf but Posey quickly gets to the ropes to break it. Henry focuses on Posey’s legs and holds the advantage until a missed shoulder tackle sends him into the corner post. Posey then targets the shoulder of Henry with illegal rope ropes and submissions. Henry starts fighting back and gains advantage over Posey briefly before some back and forth. Posey sends Henry to the outside then calls for Approved to come out via hand gestures and then goes to distract the referee. Hollis and Bentley come out but do nothing to Henry. When Posey goes to ask why they’re not helping, Henry comes in behind him and rolls him up for the victory. Posey gets mad and pitches a fit in the ring while Bentley and Hollis leave. Sal Rinauro laughs with the crowd after leaving commentary and heads to the back.
Washington Bullets (Jon & Trey Williams) defeated “Marvelous” Michael Stevens & Adrian Hawkins (w/ Anthony Andrews) via pinfall
Referee: Dustin Robinson
Jon and Adrian start the match off, and Hawkins quickly tries to use some dirty tactics to come out on top. When Andrews grabs Jon’s foot when he’s going off the ropes, the referee catches him and sends him to the back. Hawkins slaps Marv in the face before the Bullets both take suicide dives to the outside to take them down. Hawkins quickly regains control with some help from Marv, and they start to lay in some heat on Trey. Trey attempts to fight back but is cut off by a knee followed by a neckbreaker from Hawkins. Jon hot tags in and goes to town on Hawkins and Marv. Everyone ends up in the ring together, with some impressive double team work by Bullets, landing a high leg lariat on Hawkins and a wheelbarrow + boot combo to take down Marv to pick up the win.
NWA Rampage Pro Wrestling Heavyweight Title Match
Kyle Matthews (C) defeated “Adorable” Anthony Andrews (w/ Michael Stevens) via pinfall
Referee: Stan Robinson
Andrews quickly finds himself using the ropes to get free of holds that Matthews goes to lock in. Doc Gayton comes out during the match to hand Marv a Verve energy drink, in which he immediately goes to drinking. Matthews shows a little bit of a comedic side during the match, taking Andrews’ headband and wearing it while holding him by his arms and legs and swinging his head into the bottom turnbuckle. Marv gets involved by pulling Matthews out of the ring to a loud thud while the referee was distracted by Andrews, and makes it a point to secure Anthony’s “Adorable” headband. From here, Andrews lays some heat on Matthews. The crowd gets behind Kyle Matthews, and he makes a comeback leading into a slurpy kick that sends Andrews to the outside. Matthews then chases with a suicide dive taking both Andrews and Marv down and even makes it a point to take back the “Adorable” headband and put it back on. When Andrews gets the jar that BFF has taken many competitors out with in the past, Matthews makes it a point to deliver a hard kick to it and send it back to Andrews, securing the win to retain the title.
NWA Rampage Pro Wrestling Tag Team Title Match
Cash Vault (“Hit for Hire” Bobby Moore & Rob Adonis)(w/ Manager Charlie Cash)(C) defeated Usual Suspects (AJ Steele & Murder One) via pinfall to retain the NWA RPW Tag Team Titles
Referee: Dustin Robinson
Murder One goes to town on Moore early on, obviously not tardy to this match. Moore takes a lot of punishment from the Suspects early on, with Adonis and Cash looking on. Adonis tries to come in after taking a hit from Murder One and the referee stops him, with Moore getting choked on the ropes and no 5-count to save him. Suspects definitely seem to be on the same page in this match. A poke to the eyes by Moore give Cash Vault an advantage, who then work on isolating AJ Steele from his corner. When Murder tries to run in and help AJ, the ref stops him and both members of Cash Vault and even Cash himself play their own hand in trying to keep AJ subdued. AJ comes back tags Murder One in, who takes on both members of Cash Vault for a bit before Steele comes back in and all hell breaks loose. With the ref trying to get AJ out of the ring and Murder distracted, Moore comes in from behind and rolls him up for the win.
Doc Gayton comes out to the ring for some damage control, with Murder blaming AJ steele for the loss. Murder gives AJ a few good fists before running off and it taking the Bullets, Adler, Jacobs, Sal, Henry, and referees Stan Robinson and Dustin Robinson to hold back AJ. The chaos spills backstage for the ending of the show.
