Fantastic showing by Jeff Cobb. He was one of my favorites when I watched Ring of Honor on the regular. They gave him a great and strong AEW RAMPAGE in-ring debut here. Tony Khan and crew did this man right as they are sticking with the original blueprint that made Cobb likeable among fans. He is such a versatile big man. Cash Wheeler continues to put out classic and solid singles matches just like Dax Harwood. If you’re keeping track at home the past couple of months now FTR has been stepping up, and taking their game to another level.

Post-Match Great-O-Khan comes out to celebrate as Dax comes from behind him and attacks! Aussie Open comes out to attack Dax as Orange Cassidy and Ropangi Vice come out as it’s all chaos! Eddie Kingston comes from out of nowhere to attack Chris Jericho as he’s stabbing Chris Jericho with a pen from the announcers table. The action is spilling all over the place as this episode comes to an end.
