AEW Rampage‘s inaugural Royal Rampage kicked off tonight’s show, and in a spectacular performance, it was Brody King who would go on to earn a shot at the Interim AEW World Championship against Jon Moxley.
For those unaware, the rules of the match saw 20 men competing in two separate rings, one red and one blue. Each minute, a new wrestler will enter alternating rings until 10 men have filled up each ring. Then, the winners of each battle royale in their respective rings move on to face off against one another. By the end of things tonight, it was down to both Brody King and Darby Allin after all had been said and done.
After eliminating both Butcher & The Blade, Allin was absolutely ambushed by King, who had already cleared his side of the king and was simply waiting to see who would win on the other side. Allin was able to briefly fight back and nearly knock King down and out of the ring, but King ended up winning by locking in a sleeper hold on the outside of the apron and simply dropping Allin onto the floor.
