Fuego Del Sol, whom has been the target of the House of Black in recent times, will get some reinforcements this week. This past Wednesday on Dynamite, Dark Order\u2019s Evil Uno &amp; Preston Vance (10) walked in on Fuego talking about his dealings with House of Black. They said the \u201codds have been evened.\u201d Later, the six-man tag match was announced.<\/p>\n<p>Death Triangle is likely not too far behind. The House of Black appeared last week after they defeated Butcher &amp; Blade and Marq Quen last week<\/p>\n<p><em>Frank\u2019s Analysis: There\u2019s not much to analyze here other than the expectation of a House of Black win. They\u2019re likely setting something up for Double or Nothing with Death Triangle, but hard to know what they\u2019ll do. They are likely doing Gang Rules five-on-five match with Jericho\u2019s guys against Blackpool Combat Club, Eddie Kingston, and Santana &amp; Ortiz.<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Women&#8217;s Owen Hart Cup Quarterfinal: Red Velvet vs. Kris Statlander<\/h4>\n<p>Red Velvet was originally scheduled to face Hikaru Shida in the quarterfinals of the Owen Hart Cup tournament. Last week, while TBS Champion Jade Cargill was being interviewed, she was informed that Shida could not participate and was replaced. That replacement turned out to be Kris Statlander. Kris and Red Velvet were teaming on a frequent basis, especially during the time where \u201cLegit\u201d Leyla Hirsh turned on Kris. Red Velvet recently had a change in heart, joining Cargill as one of her Baddies.<\/p>\n<p>The winner faces Ruby Soho, who defeated Riho last week. Both women talked to Tony Schiavone this past Wednesday. Kris showed off a new look.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Things are different, but it&#39;s &quot;strictly business&quot; before TOMORROW&#39;s <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AEWRampage?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AEWRampage<\/a> with a SPECIAL START TIME of 7pmET\/6pmCT\/5pmMT\/4pmPT on TNT when <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Thee_Red_Velvet?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Thee_Red_Velvet<\/a> stands against <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/callmekrisstat?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@callmekrisstat<\/a> in the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/OwenHart?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#OwenHart<\/a> Foundation Women&#39;s Tournament Quarterfinals! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/h2DZuv8M9v\">pic.twitter.com\/h2DZuv8M9v<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; All Elite Wrestling (@AEW) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AEW\/status\/1527363463282032640?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 19, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em>Frank\u2019s Analysis: I promise I\u2019m not cheating looking at results.

This past Wednesday on Dynamite, Chris Jericho pointed out the issues between the five men including Moxley and Santana, and Danielson and Kingston. Referencing Wade\u2019s Dynamite report from Wednesday, he highlighted how Danielson called Kingston \u201clazy\u201d while Kingston called Danielson a \u201cjudgmental prick.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a backstage segment, Matt Sydal and Dante Martin caught wind of what was going on. They pointed out how the Blackpool Combat Club couldn\u2019t get along and challenged them to a match on AEW Rampage.<\/p>\n<p><em>Frank\u2019s Analysis: This is a good match but there aren\u2019t any real stakes involved. I look forward to it regardless. There\u2019s not much else to expect other than a Moxley &amp; Danielson win.<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Shawn Spears vs. \u201cA Giant\u201d<\/h4>\n<p>Shawn Spears and his leader MJF gave Wardlow 10 lashes this past Wednesday. This was a condition Wardlow had to meet in order to get a match against MJF at Double or Nothing. For all intents and purposes, Wardlow\u2019s AEW career will be on the line. If Wardlow wins, MJF lets him out of his contract. If MJF wins, Wardlow could never work for AEW again.<\/p>\n<p>Things got out of hand during the segment when the last lash was coming. MJF kicked Wardlow in the business and then he and Spears choked Wardlow with a belt. MJF then punched Wardlow with the Dynamite Diamond Ring, who then got treated to a slam by Spears. Spears is due to face Wardlow in a steel cage match, but this week he faces \u201ca giant.\u201d He calls himself the \u201cGiant Killer\u201d on Twitter. (Not like Kevin Nash\u2019s \u201cBig Sexy the Giant Killer.\u201d)<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I\u2019m going to kick the shit outta \u201cA Giant\u201d. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AEWRampage?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AEWRampage<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AEW?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AEW<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AEW?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@AEW<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/GSiEEoF5sC\">https:\/\/t.co\/GSiEEoF5sC<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Shawn Spears\u2122\ufe0f (@ShawnSpears) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ShawnSpears\/status\/1527361932084162576?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 19, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Non-Wrestling Segments Announced<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Reigning TNT Champion Scorpio Sky demands the return of the TNT Championship<\/strong>. Last week, Scorpio retained the TNT Championship over Frankie Kazarian with help from Ethan Page. After the match, Scorpio attacked Frankie after appearing to be upset with Ethan. Later, Sammy Guevara and his girlfriend Tay Conti came into the ring after being goaded by Dan Lambert. Scorpio, Page, and Lambert cleared the ring while Sammy &amp; Tay made off with the title belt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hook and Danhausen<\/strong>. An undefined segment involving <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ShopAEW\/status\/1527457624052191248\">Hook and Danhausen<\/a> will be shown. They are slated to take on \u201cSmart\u201d Mark Sterling and Tony Nese on the pre-show of Double or Nothing. After weeks of Hook rejected Danhausen\u2019s friendship, they finally shook hands on Dynamite last week after Nese made quick work of Danhausen.<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Frank on Twitter @FrankPeteani.
