Grade: B+
This was a fun opener and a good showcase for all three teams. Taven and Bennett winning suggests that they might be getting heated up for a title shot. Gates of Agony remain underrated, especially Kaun, as he really looks like a star. It’s always good to see Taylor and Moriarty on AEW television, but it’d be nice if they won more.

Grade: B
The outcome was never in doubt here, as Jay is challenging for the AEW Women’s World Championship next weekend. This was a solid showing regardless, but maybe it would have been more effective with someone who had been built up more than Grey.

Grade: B
On paper, the outcome was never in doubt, but BEEF got a lot of offense in. This match felt like a way to build him up, even in defeat. Between that and the backstage segment with JD Drake, it looks like we’ll be seeing more of him. Mortos continues to impress; they don’t call him “beast” for nothing. The pairing of him and RUSH remains intriguing as well, as they’re both brutal powerhouses.

Winner: Ricochet
AEW International Champion Konosuke Takeshita comes out and stares down Ricochet to end the show.
Grade: A
This match went a long way in reminding viewers about how good Nick Wayne is. It seems like it’s been a while since he had a standout singles match like this on AEW television. Some of that goes to Ricochet, given his caliber, but Wayne held his own with one of the best in the game today. This was a good main event to cap off the show and another quality win for Ricochet. The brief post-match angle with Takeshita kept their feud going, and it’s a safe bet that they’ll clash at AEW Full Gear.
Grade: B+
AEW Rampage has a pretty set formula in that you get quality matches where the outcome is never in doubt, and this week was no exception. The opening tag and the main event were worthwhile by themselves, and BEEF’s bout against Mortos was much more competitive than expected. Ricochet’s presence was a boost, given his name value. Special shout-out to the fun “Fright Night Dynamite” video package, as it leaned into the Halloween vibes of the show.
