After the match the Young Bucks got involved and, with Cole, attacked the Hardys (Matt &amp; Jeff). Darby Allin &amp; Sting came out for the save. They were thwarted by Cole\u2019s cohorts Bobby Fish &amp; Kyle O\u2019Reilly (ReDRagon). Sting got treated to stereo superkicks by the Bucks, and then O\u2019Reilly leaped onto Sting\u2019s leg that was draped in a chair.<\/p>\n<p>This past Wednesday, Darby revisited that and challenged Fish to a match one-on-one for Rampage. He lost to O\u2019Reilly at Double or Nothing. Sting has not been on TV since the attack.<\/p>\n<p><em>Frank\u2019s Analysis: Darby has been losing a lot lately. I know the crowd loves him and I don\u2019t know how he\u2019d work as a face but, I can\u2019t see a jobber-to-the-stars babyface role for him. I avoided spoilers on this one. My guess is Darby got back in the win column.<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Jon Moxley vs. Dante Martin<\/h4>\n<p>Jon Moxley of the Blackpool Combat Club goes one-on-one with Dante Martin. This past Wednesday on Dynamite, Dante cut a backstage promo alongside Matt Sydal talking about being tired of everyone saying he has potential. He said he will be the one to \u201creplace Moxley\u201d one day.<\/p>\n<p>Dante has had an interesting run over the past year. He briefly spent some time in Team Taz and lost a world title match to then-champion \u201cHangman\u201d Adam Page several months ago. The Blackpool Combat Club consists of Moxley, Bryan Danielson, and Wheeler Yuta. They are managed by William Regal.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1459978523\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Ahead of the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ForbiddenDoor?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ForbiddenDoor<\/a> clash for the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AEW?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AEW<\/a> Interim World Championship against <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tanahashi1_100?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@tanahashi1_100<\/a> LIVE on PPV, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JonMoxley?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@JonMoxley<\/a> takes on high-flying <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/lucha_angel1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@lucha_angel1<\/a> TOMORROW on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AEWRampage?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AEWRampage<\/a>: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/RoadRager?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#RoadRager<\/a> at 10\/9c on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tntdrama?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@tntdrama<\/a>! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/WYbgvUgADi\">pic.twitter.com\/WYbgvUgADi<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; All Elite Wrestling (@AEW) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AEW\/status\/1537555626741604352?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 16, 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: Is Dante a candidate to join the BCC?

It\u2019s a good thing the camera was there, and Willow Nightingale knew Stokely was being interviewed because she sauntered right on in. Stokely offered her a spot in the Baddies, but she instead answered Jade\u2019s open challenge.<\/p>\n<p>Willow last appeared on Rampage back in April on the losing end of a trios match. Jade retained the title over Anna Jay at Double or Nothing, after which Athena made her first appearance for AEW.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">TBS Champion <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Jade_Cargill?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Jade_Cargill<\/a> issues an open challenge for the Title &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/willowwrestles?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@willowwrestles<\/a> happily steps up to the plate this FRIDAY on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AEWRampage?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AEWRampage<\/a>! <\/p>\n<p>Tune in NOW to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AEWDynamite?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AEWDynamite<\/a>: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/RoadRager?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#RoadRager<\/a> LIVE on TBS! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/8L72U59wij\">pic.twitter.com\/8L72U59wij<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; All Elite Wrestling (@AEW) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AEW\/status\/1537246855066791936?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 16, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/jade_cargill\/status\/1537422422743273472?s=21&#038;t=Phs3cxmyEhizOoA2sj7q9w<\/p>\n<p><em>Frank\u2019s Analysis: I expect nothing but another win for Jade. This is more about Stokely establishing himself as Jade\u2019s manager or representative or whatever you want to call him.

Trios action is in order when Max Caster of The Acclaimed continues his relationship with The Gunn Club as they take on Ruffin It. Leon Ruff was released several months ago by WWE as has performed mostly on Dark &amp; Dark Elevation. Bear Country have appeared sparingly on AEW television.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cWe hear from\u201d Swerve Strickland and \u201cLimitless\u201d Keith Lee<\/strong>. Apparently, we are going to hear from the team that unofficially or officially calls themselves Swerve in our Glory in Swerve Strickland &amp; Keith Lee. Things could get chippy as it was Swerve who eliminated Keith from the Battle Royal last week on Dynamite for the right to face Jon Moxley in the main event to qualify for the Interim AEW Championship match at Forbidden Door. Swerve &amp; Keith recently challenged now former tag team champions Jurassic Express at Double or Nothing in a triple threat match (or three-way, whatever they call it in AEW).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Time was requested.
