AEW Rampage – Episode 22 “New Year’s Smash” (12.31.2021) (Wrestling Review)

Singles Match
Anthony Bowens (w/Max Caster) vs. Darby Allin (w/Sting)

Wasn’t super impressed by this. Can’t really get into Bowens and Darby is always good in the ring and willing to put his entire body into it. Was a good match but just didn’t do a lot for me. 

2.5 / 5

Tag Team Street Fight
Penelope Ford & The Bunny vs. TayJay (Anna Jay & Tay Conti)

Penelope moonsault off the top to Tay on a table only for the table to not break and Penelope to land knee first on Tays face was pretty rough. Some of the tables spots didn’t work great and the fake glass bottle was pretty bad. The Bunny and Tay both bleeding was great, The Bunny in particular bled like her life depending on it and visually it looked impeccable. This ended up as a really fun, physical match, and something we don’t get the see the AEW womens division do much of so it came off as important in their feud. 

3.5 / 5

AEW TNT Title Match
Cody Rhodes (w/Arn Anderson) (c) vs. Ethan Page (w/Dan Lambert & Scorpio Sky)

Just an okay match. Both men telling a story and working the others injury throughout the match was good. It went a bit long and Ethan Page hasn’t been built up at all in AEW so there felt like almost no stake here. 

2 / 5
