That Moxley promo is terrifying. Man was dripping blood on the stairs like a leaky faucet that needs maintenance.

Oops, turns out the winner of Face of the Revolution faces Joe at next week's Dynamite, not at Revolution.

Insane ladder match ends with Powerhouse Hobbs getting his shot at the TNT title, apparently he'll face whoever wins between Samoa Joe and Wardlow this Sunday. I've never seen Komander before, but I had been told he was an acrobatic prodigy (at 23 years old!) and he did not disappoint today, with his rope walking ranas and backflips. That whole ladder match was nuts, with pretty much everyone getting a star-making moment.

All except for Eddie Kingston and Ortiz, who just started brawling with each other all the way back to gorilla position and didn't figure into the match at all.

Danhausen & Orange Cassidy win the Tag Team Battle Royale, but will they actually show up or will they invoke the Freebird Rule to get Johnny and Alex in the match?

If we only get one women's match on Rampage tonight, Riho vs. Emi Sakura is a great choice, because it means we get a mini-joshi clinic.

Keith Lee entering in an honest-to-God wizards robe and cowl, so awesome. Swerve bringing back his old tag-team move of springboarding off of Lee's enormous chest, and the crowd got to see some of Lee's moveset that's been off television for a while, including the Big Bang Catastrophe and a very tall chokeslam. With so many of AEW's big meaty fellows slowly finding their way back to television (Wardlow, Keith Lee, Hobbs) I hope Miro won't be far behind to give Keith the hoss fight he needs. Or failing that, he can bounce Adam Cole into the crowd again.
