[0.0] "You have so much talent, and somehow you book the worst combinations, OC facing another jobber for the title, Darby facing another jobber, and Private Party jobbing Double J and Lethal, this show have the debut of CM PUNK!"
[6.0] "Rampage needs to be a bit stronger, but this one was solid. Karter had a good showcase while the Lumberjack was a funny moment. A thought for Private Party, poor guys had to job for Jarrett, ugh."
[7.0] "The action kicked off with a solid back-and-forth bout b/w Darby & Karter. This is the grudge that begun his downward spiral & it was settled in a strong way. Karter wasn't giving up that easy & if he improvises the other fundamentals, he'll become a pretty good breakout star. The Acclaimed had their fun moment with a rap & their next challenge in FTR as well as future options in Gunn Bros and Lethal & Jarrett. The latter had a decent start as a regular team despite being unliked by most fans. I'm disappointed to see them rise up as a duo at the expense of the highly talented Private Party. Athena's rage continues towards Final Battle which raises my hope on her trajectory in the brand moving forward. The main event was worth a chuckle as two entertainers did their best in terms of character cementing & in-ring action. Sabian standing out to almost cost Cassidy the title signals the next pathway for him until he possibly drops the ball to Malakai who's rejuvenated to an even violent self. Just like last week, this was a solid rush hour which meant little to nothing newsworthy. I hope this is the final run-of-the-middle Rampage as the promise is given by management to enhance the quality of this show. 6.5 out of 10 points!"
[6.0] "Definitely not a must-watch show but they turned a lackluster card into an entertaining hour of TV. I don't understand why TK doesn't book better matches for Rampage tho."
[3.0] "Probably the definition of an episode which is "Just there". Having a gimmick match in the main event maybe makes this a little more interesting than it would be otherwise but nothing here truly felt worth seeing. That's down to the matches being basic whilst also having no interesting build. It's essentially a series of so-so matches wrapped around a promo for Final Battle. I feel like this episode is more of a '4' in terms of quality but, as I've said too many times about Rampage recently, a one-hour show shouldn't be able to feel this boring. It does feel like there was some more effort compared to a month or so ago just by having a Darby match and a gimmick main event, but we're still not seeing something which really clicks."
[4.0] "Yet another episode of "Matches that were too mediocre for Dynamite so we chucked them onto this B show nobody cares about" AKA Rampage. Nothing on here is worth tuning in for, just a big ol' waste of time."
[6.0] "Although this was an overall solid show with decent matches, I genuinely don't understand how its so hard for TK to make an above decent card for Rampage. You have arguably the best wrestling roster in the world right now and the absolute best you can come up with is QT Marshall in the main event? I don't know, it just seems silly to me."
[8.0] "Really? This was a pretty good Rampage episode that managed to overdeliver despite having a filler card. The opening match with Cole Karter vs Darby Allin was good, and the former actually impressed me in the ring (since Karter hasn't done much for me in the ring over the last several months up until now). The tag match with Private Party vs Jeff Jarrett/Jay Lethal was decent and harmless. Athena got to kick that enhancement talent's ass a lot here, which was pretty fun to see her violent side. The main event with Orange Cassidy vs QT Marshall was a good Lumberjack match that had a fun ending to the show with House of Black arriving to destroy everyone. Honestly, the overall score deserves to be higher. I'm giving this an 8 since I really enjoyed last night's show."
[6.0] "Decent show overall. Athena needs to watch herself because if she keeps going after referees she is liable to find herself out of AEW/ROH altogether. It is one thing to be aggressive, it is another to be psychotic. Athena may be bordering on that line. House of Black seems to be making a statement by declaring war on the entire AEW locker room. With them involved it may be hell to pay."
[5.0] "This is probably one of the most bittersweet AEW shows I've seen in a long time. Pretty average wrestling and we could highlight the Main Event at best."
[2.0] "I am so sick and tired of what AEW has been doing lately. I am not some troll, if you saw some of my past reviews, I am typically very high on this promotion. But this week was a bit of a breaking point for me. Rampage was AWFUL this week. I'm not sure there was really one thing I could say I really enjoyed this week. The matches were just there and most of the rest was cold setups for the ROH PPV next week. The build for that PPV has been HORRIBLE, by the way. Yeah, great, Athena is showing more intensity and becoming a good heel - hasn't really made me excited for her match next week. The SioG/STP tag match build was out of nowhere and cold. And the situation around the AEW tag titles is laughably bad. Not only is the FTR/Acclaimed match made on 5 days notice with hardly any prior build, but you insert The Gunns and Lethal & Jarrett! ? What a joke. Just an absolute fumbled job from beginning to end. The only reason this score isn't lower is because it was more competent of a show than Vince's RAW at its worst."
"AEW is basically using Rampage as another episode of Dark and it? s extremely disappointing to see. There never seems to be any must see matches on here which is disappointing considering the first episode was so strong with the Omega vs Christian banger"
[6.0] "Allin vs. Carter was pretty good. Lethal and Jarrett vs. Private Party was pretty forgettable. Athena looked pretty good in her squash match. Cassidy vs. Marshall had some moments, but it felt like what was happening with the lumberjacks overshadowed the in-ring action for large chunks of the match. As for setting up future matches, I'm happy to see Shane Taylor setting up a tag match at Final Battle. I'm happy that we'll get FTR vs. The Acclaimed. Also happy to hear that Juice Robinson is with the company now, and seeing him fight Joe should be fun."
[5.0] "The show is the epitome of "transitional". Basic and ugly, in my opinion, matches, with some funny thing here and there but with an overall sensation of not important thing."
[6.0] "An OK episode this week, slightly better than feared when reading the spoilers. The matches weren't great, with Darby Allin and Cole Karter being a fine standout. The Acclaimed vs. FTR got made official for next week's Dynamite, and Samoa Joe will be kept busy, facing Allin on Dynamite for the TNT Title, and then Juice Robinson (newly signed) at ROH Final Battle for the ROH TV Title. They also referred to the Preston Vance turn when Dynamite didn't, and they just about squeezed in a House of Black attack to close the show."
