All Elite Wrestling delivered an action-packed show with the August 25 episode of AEW Rampage.
Tonight, the AEW International Championship will be on the line, when Orange Cassidy defends his title against Aaron Solo. QT Marshall will also defend his AAA Latin American Championship in a title match against Gravity.
Britt Baker and AEW Women’s World Champion Hikaru Shida will also team up, where the duo will face Saraya and Toni Storm in a tag team bout. The match will be a prelude to the AEW Women’s Word Championship match at AEW All In.
Elsewhere in the night, Luchasaurus will be in action, and QT Marshall will take part in an interview with Jim Ross.
The results are as follows:
Match 1: Orange Cassidy defeats Aaron Solo via pinfall
In an opening AEW International Championship match, Cassidy walked out with a big win over Solo to retain his title. Although Solo was able to gain some momentum early in the match, Cassidy would go on to come out on top.
After Harley Cameron tried to distract Cassidy late in the match, Cassidy was able to kick out of a big double stomp from Solo, and even kick out of another attempted cheating move after Solo hit Cassidy with Harley’s boot while the referee wasn’t looking. In the end, Cassidy would eventually hit the Orange Punch for the pin and win.

In a sit-down interview with Marshall, Jim Ross spoke with the reigning AAA Latin American Champion. Marshall said he was sick of how many false narratives there were about him, like how his relationship with Tony Khan is the only reason for his many matches in All Elite Wrestling. Marshall said that his title proves he’s the best, and he will get the respect he deserves by defending it.
Match 2: QT Marshall defeats Gravity via pinfall
Marshall proved his words to be correct by taking down Gravity in a AAA Latin American Championship match.
The superstars traded punches and slaps early, but it was Marshall who would eventually walk out on top. Late in the match, Marshall hit a big Diamond cutter before hitting his finisher on Gravity for the win.
Match 3: Luchasaurus defeats local talent via pinfall
In a relatively quick match, Luchasaurus retained his TNT Championship with a big win, all while Christian Cage held the belt backstage and watched.
Match 4: Saraya & Toni Storm defeat Britt Baker & Hikaru Shida via pinfall
In the final match of the night, Baker and Saraya began things with a brawl, before Ruby Soho would help out Saraya by distracting Baker with a grab of her feet. The match continued for a bit before things continued to break down, and everyone began fighting with everyone. In the end, Baker would hit Saraya with a big neckbreaker, but Storm came rushing in to stop the pin.
Storm then spray painted Shida, who couldn’t see and inadvertently hit Baker with a pair of wild swings. This allowed Saraya and Storm to capitalize and pin Baker for the win. After the match, the pair each tried to hold up the AEW Women’s Championship in celebration, before eventually holding it up together at the same time.
