Even though Fuego Del Sol lost to Miro on the first episode of AEW Rampage, he still got an AEW contract. However, that loss is burning him up inside. He had Miro down after two Tornado DDT’s, he knows that’s the weak point in Miro. Fuego Del Sol offered up his new car as a wager for this match, and it was accepted. Miro just wants to smash both Fuego and the car, and that could be his plans for tonight.
Matt Hardy First Assaults A Fan
First, we’d see how Matt Hardy was feeling. In short – not good. After the Hardy Family Office dropped two big matches, Matt Hardy was pissed. He would declare that next week we have an eight man tag team match, The Butcher, The Blade & The Private Party taking on Lucha Bros, Santana & Ortiz. Also, Anna Jay will take on Penelope Ford.
However, first he needed to deal with a fan at ringside dressed as Orange Cassidy. Alongside Jack Evans he’d drag him into the ring and nail the Twist of Fate. They’d take out scissors and a razor, before shaving part of the fans head – what they want to do to Orange Cassidy. Cassidy hit the ring to save the fan, but the humiliation was done.
Ruby Soho Rips Into Britt Baker
Next week on AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam, Ruby Soho gets her shot at the AEW World Women’s Champion. Tonight, they’d meet face to face, in a segment moderated by Tony Schiavone. Soho got a great reaction, but Baker would get the first word. She’d ask why Soho is here, but she already knows.
Soho is here for herself, because she doesn’t know who she is. She’s been changing her name, getting more tattoos and dying her hair every color. Meanwhile, everyone knows exactly who Baker is – the AEW World Women’s Champion. However, Soho feels that Baker forces this, constantly having to remind them who she is. Soho wants to focus on Baker however, and there was a dueling chant.
Baker is entitled, self centered, and banging some dude in the back. Soho wants to figure out if there is anything more. Baker called the nickname of Soho into question, as The Runaway – when she got fired. However, getting fired was the best thing to happen to Soho as it brought her to AEW. Soho wants to show Baker exactly how good she is, and next week Baker will no longer be able to call herself a champion.
Fuego Del Sol Loses His Car, But Keeps His Head
Finally we get to the main event – Fuego vs. Miro. The only reason Miro took this match was to get a victory celebration with his wife, and doesn’t even care about the car. Miro is at 128 days as champion, and still looks unstoppable – even though Eddie Kingston came close.
Fuego would go behind Miro and get a leg kick, and would be picking away at the bigger opponent. He’d send him to the outside and dive, before being caught and looking for a slam. Miro was instead shoved into the post twice, before the fans would catch Fuego as he was thrown into the crowd – before taking a Fallaway Slam on the floor.
Back in the ring, Fuego was thrown across the ring with a Biel throw. He’d grab a sleeper hold, and Miro was fading. Miro broke free but took a moonsault before catching Fuego in a bear hug. Fuego broke out and hit a Pele Kick, before being swatted out of the sky.
Miro looked for a DDT but Fuego countered and hit a double stomp, before another to the neck. The tornado DDT was countered, Miro nailed a kick and beat Fuego into the corner. A set of pump kicks ended this one. Fuego had the keys to his car shoved in his mouth and Game Over applied.
A better match than their first, with Fuego really giving a gutsy performance. He’d pick away at Miro and really get some damage in. However, Miro fired up and won in the end. A solid match, but not one of Miro’s best. Match Rating: 3/5 (***)
Sammy Guevara made the save, and seems to be stepping up next. Will he be the next TNT Champion? Let us know what you think in the comment section down below.
