CM Punk debuts in AEW
AEW Rampage kicked off with CM Punk making his debut. The rumors were true, and Punk is All Elite! The former WWE star looked emotional as he walked down the ramp, and the fans were at the top of their voice.
CM Punk had the mic in his hand and said that he had not planned for what he was going to say because he didn't know how he would feel until he was in front of his beloved fans.
Punk added that he had heard the "CM Punk" chants for the last seven years. He added that he was back now, and although he couldn't say everything he wanted at the moment, he was had all the time in the world going forward.
CM Punk stated that he couldn't stay in the place he was before this. He added that it was in 2005 when he actually left pro wrestling. And now, in August 2021, he was back. Punk pointed out he was back for both the fans as well as for himself.
Fans were crying in the area as Punk cut his promo. It was incredible to see Punk back inside the squared circle.
CM Punk also called out Darby Allin, who was hanging with Sting in the rafters. Punk said that Darby was someone who had impressed him, calling him tough. Punk said he wanted to face Darby Allin first, adding that he knew Darby loved danger, and there was nothing more dangerous than wrestling CM Punk in Chicago.
CM Punk will face Darby Allin at All Out. One last thing, Punk told fans that everyone in attendance would get free ice cream on the way out.
Welcome to the new Summer of Punk in AEW.
Christian has a message for The Young Bucks on AEW Rampage
Christian Cage was backstage on AEW Rampage with Jurassic Express. He warned The Young Bucks that Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus would win the tag team eliminator tournament and then beat them inside the steel cage, regardless of how many of their childhood chums the EVPs hired to help them out. Cage then addressed Omega and told him that he had his number.
Jurassic Express vs Private Party (AEW World Tag Team titles eliminator tournament semi-finals) on Rampage
Jungle Boy and Isiah Kassidy started things off, with the former getting the better of his opponent early on. Quen quickly tagged in and Jungle Boy went for the tag, but made it when the referees back was turned thanks to a distraction from Isiah. Quen cut Jungle Boy off and Private Party had him backed up in their corner during the ad break.
Back on AEW Rampage, Jungle Boy fought back and wiped Isiah Kassidy out with a clothesline and finally tagged Luchasaurus in. The giant was all over both members of Private Party, tossing them across the ring before hitting a double clothesline.

The AEW Tag title eliminator continued with Luchasaurus, who tagged in Jungle Boy before placing Isiah Kassidy on the top rope. Jungle Boy headed to the top rope, but their plans were put on hold by Marc Quen. Isiah Kassidy then hit an insane Canadian Destroyer to Jungle Boy while he was on top of Luchasaurus' shoulder.
Marc Quen then wiped out Luchasaurus with a Shooting Star Press from the top rope. Matt Hardy was on the apron to try and create a distraction, and Kasidy almost managed to roll Jungle Boy up. Private Party then went for the Gin and Juice, but Jungle Boy hit Quen with a spinning DDT.
Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus then finished off Isiah Kassidy with their powerbomb finisher to win the match.
Result: Jurassic Express def. Private Party

Jade Cargill vs Kiera Hogan on AEW Rampage
The next matchup on AEW Rampage saw Jade Cargill taking on former IMPACT Wrestling star Kiera Hogan.
Jade Cargill overpowered Hogan during their first exchange. However, Kiera quickly hit back with a boot to the head, followed by a running strike in the corner.
Hogan's Rampage debut ended quickly as Cargill took her out with a boot before finishing her off with the Jaded. And it was over as fast as that. Jade Cargill is one to watch out for in the AEW Women's division.
Result: Jade Cargill def. Kiera Hogan
Grade: C
Jon Moxley and Daniel Garcia speak before the AEW Rampage main event
Daniel Garcia was backstage on AEW Rampage with 2.0. Daniel Garcia said that he had already beaten Matt Sydal and now needed to go through Jon Moxley to really make his mark in AEW.
Moxley said he was in a bad mood and was about to go out and commit a felony. He said he was moments away from bouncing Daniel Garcia's head like a basketball and squeezing his neck until his eyes popped out.
Jon Moxley vs Daniel Garcia (AEW Rampage main event)
Next up, we had the main event for AEW Rampage: The First Dance with Jon Moxley taking on Daniel Garcia.
Moxley was all over Garcia during the opening moments of their match. It looked like the bout would end quickly, but the young AEW star soon hit back. Garcia had a plan, going after Moxley's leg, trying to immobilize the former AEW World Champion.
Garcia was impressive, but Moxley soon hit back with a clothesline. Both men traded shots before Moxley went after his younger opponent with headbutts. Moxley then dropped Garcia with a release vertical suplex. Mox tried to follow it up with a Paradigm Shift, but Garcia countered and locked in his modified Boston Crab. Mox countered back, and he locked in the Bulldog Choke. This forced Daniel Garcia to tap out.
Result: Jon Moxley def. Daniel Garcia
Grade: B+
After the match, Daniel Garcia attacked Jon Moxley, and 2.0 joined him, outnumbering the former AEW Champion and Eddie Kingston.
This led to Darby Allin and Sting coming down to the ring as they helped turn the numbers game around. Mox was in no mood to play and took out Garcia with a Paradigm Shift.
Sting then hit the Stinger Splash to 2.0 in the corner. The WCW Legend then hit Jeff Parker with a Scorpion Death Drop. Darby Allin then hit a double Coffin Drop to 2.0 to finish things off.
What a night! Thanks for joining us on Sportskeda Wrestling for our coverage of AEW Rampage!
