Verdict: FIRE 🔥
Editors Take: As much as I dislike Best Friends, I can’t give this a bad grade. This was a good match.
Group that I don’t know (or care) what it’s called with Jay Lethal and Mark Briscoe vs Enhancement Talent
Headline: “Mark Briscoe hits unknown wrestler with an elbow drop to earn a victory”.
Hey, @NylaRoseBeast
A gift

Result: Taya Valkyrie wins via pin fall
Verdict: Mid
Oh S***@Jade_Cargill sent a MESSAGE on #AEWRampage pic.twitter.com/71xwyxD3mn
— AEW on TV (@AEWonTV) April 15, 2023
Editors Take: This wasn’t a squash match by any means. Emi came to fight. I like Taya Valkyrie but she does not feel like a credible challenge for Jade Cargill. I will maintain what I’ve been saying for about a year, the woman who will eventually dethrone Jade is Mercedes Mone’ aka Sasha Banks, I don’t know when, I don’t know how. Outside of maybe Britt Baker, there isn’t a woman on the AEW roster that I would give a shot versus Jade.
Jungle Boy Jack Perry vs Shawn Spears

.@Boy_Myth_Legend faced one hell of a challenge from the returning @ShawnSpears#AEWRampage pic.twitter.com/CMLiw8OY9Y

Result: Jungle Boy Jack Perry wins via pin fall
He’s got my vote.
A special talent.
Go for it all man. @AEW #AEWRampage pic.twitter.com/FoDKYkWSpK
— Shawn Spears™️ (@ShawnSpears) April 15, 2023
Verdict: FIRE 🔥
Editors Take: I had to give this a FIRE for being a good pure wrestling match. I don’t think Spears should have went back to the Perfect 10 gimmick. He’s a hell of a wrestler and should have left that tarnished gimmick in WWE.
Overall verdict for AEW Rampage 4/14/23: MID
