A special late-night edition of AEW Rampage featured four bouts on March 18.
After TNT’s broadcast of NCAA basketball, Keith Lee, Darby Allin, and the House of Black, among others, performed on Rampage.
The results are as follows:
Darby Allin (with Sting) vs. The Butcher (with The Blade)
Allin takes the fight to The Butcher, but the big man overpowers him and sends his opponent to the outside. The former TNT Champion rallies with a dive to the outside, but The Butcher continues to use his size and strength to control the bout. He grounds Allin for several minutes and powerbombs him into the barricade. The fan-favorite rallies with a Code Red on the outside and a Coffin Drop on the floor. The Butcher is unable to beat the ten count, so Allin wins by count-out.
Winner via count-out: Darby Allin
Andrade El Idolo comes to the stage to distract Allin and Sting. Private Party attacks the duo, but The Hardys make the save. Matt Hardy challenges Andrade’s forces to fight them fair and square. Andrade and his allies get on the apron, but they back away. Hardy then challenges the quartet to an eight-man Texas Tornado Tag Team Match on AEW Dynamite.
