Following the June 15 episode of Dynamite (Road Rager edition), AEW taped this week’s episode of Rampage.

The show, which is set to air on June 17, featured Jon Moxley vs. Dante Martin, Max Caster and The Gunn Club in action, a TBS Title match between champion Jade Cargill and Willow Nightingale, and Darby Allin vs. Bobby Fish.

It’s Sting!

Of course, Bobby Fish wasn’t alone on Rampage. He tried to get Kyle O’Reilly in on the action but a familiar face put a stop to that.

Sting made his return to even the odds for Darby. O’Reilly had put “The Icon” out of commission after placing his ankle through a chair and crushing it with a diving knee drop last month.

It’s clear that Sting is back for revenge.

Sky is the reigning TNT titleholder but his gold was destroyed by Sammy Guevara and Frankie Kazarian. Sky turned his back on Kazarian at the conclusion of the May 13 episode of Rampage.

This led to Kazarian’s alliance with Sammy and Tay Conti.

The custom championship had been expected ever since the TNT Title was destroyed.

Perhaps Sky will be getting a purple and gold spin on the championship given he’s a huge LA Lakers fan.

Shawn Spears faced Bear Boulder on this week’s Rampage. It was Bear Boulder’s first singles match in AEW. Spears taunted Boulder with the “10!” pose and Bear threw Shawn across the ring. Boulder charged but Spears got out of the way and Bear crashed into the turnbuckle. Spears then raked Boulder’s eyes and planted him with the C4 for the pinfall victory.

On next week’s episode of Dynamite, MJF will give Wardlow 10 lashes. If Wardlow can deal with that, he will battle Shawn Spears in a Steel Cage (presumably on the go-home episode of Dynamite before Double or Nothing) with MJF as the special referee. If Wardlow wins the Steel Cage match, he will battle MJF at Double or Nothing with a chance to get out of his contract with Maxwell Jacob Friedman.

However, if Wardlow loses at Double or Nothing, he cannot sign a contract with AEW. Shawn Spears hyped up the cage match during his appearance on Busted Open and suggested that he’d leave AEW if the cage match is not the main event on Dynamite.

A top WarnerMedia executive who championed AEW programming is on his way out.

Brett Weitz has found himself out of WarnerMedia thanks to the Discovery merger. Kathleen Finch of Discovery has cut off Weitz’s General Manager of TNT, TBS, and truTV position, so he is now out of the company.

He issued the following statement (via Deadline).

“These past 14 years have been the most fulfilling of my career.

“I’ve had the great fortune to create and launch Emmy-winning fan-favorite entertainment, to be a part of powerful life-changing initiatives, and most importantly to have had the privilege to lead the most talented, dedicated, altruistic, and innovative team at the TNets.

“We made huge profits for shareholders and brilliant content for fans while having the most fun and being better partners with talent than any team I’ve ever been a part of. I will for sure continue to root for you all.”

Weitz was a big supporter of AEW TV, calling it an “overperformer.”

Many had feared for the future of the relationship between AEW and WarnerMedia as a result of the merger with Discovery. Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter recently reported that the merger is unlikely to impact AEW.
