Nashville, Tennessee, get ready to rumble! AEW is rolling into town this week with the annual “Blood and Guts” edition of “AEW Dynamite.” Imagine a steel cage, two rings, and more wrestling action than your granny’s bingo night. It’s like a family reunion, but with less potato salad and more body slams!
AEW President Tony Khan, the wizard of wrestling wonder, announced the grand return of the Royal Rampage match for this Friday’s “AEW Rampage.” Picture this: Two rings, 20 wrestlers, and more top rope tosses than a pancake flipping contest! The winner gets a shot at the AEW World Championship during the “Grand Slam” edition of “Dynamite” in September. High stakes? You betcha!
Here’s how it goes down. Think WWE’s Royal Rumble, but with a twist. Twenty wrestlers enter at staggered intervals, aiming to hurl their opponents over the top rope like yesterday’s leftovers. Split into two rings, 10 in each, the last wrestler standing in each ring then dukes it out until only one remains, much like a cage match between two house cats over a comfy blanket.
The Royal Rampage made its debut in 2022 when Brody King of the House of Black eliminated Darby Allin to snag a shot at Jon Moxley’s Interim AEW World Championship. Last year, Allin took it a step further, tossing Swerve Strickland out of the ring to earn a crack at Luchasaurus’ TNT Championship at All Out.
