CM Punk vs Daniel Garcia kicked off AEW Rampage
The match started off with a test of strength between CM Punk and Daniel Garcia. Punk transitioned into a headlock but Garcia quickly reversed it. Punk broke out and took Daniel down with a shoulder tackle.
In the corner, Garcia hit Punk with a couple of chops before the veteran retaliated with a slap across the face. Punk then hit a bodyslam before attempting the GTS. 2point0 immediately got involved from ringside and pulled Garcia down. As Garcia distracted the referee, 2point0 inflicted punishment from ringside, slamming Punk's legs into the ringpost.
Back from the commercial break, Garcia was still in control of the match. Punk quickly hit a running knee strike. Punk then hit a boot to the head to get a nearfall. Punk was favouring his right leg at this point as Garcia charged at him. The Straight Edge Superstar hit a spinning kick. 2point0 tried to get involved again but Punk tossed Garcia into them, sending all three men out to ringside. Punk just headed to the top rope and leapt out of the ring, wiping out Garcia and 2point0. Back in the ring, CM Punk locked in the Anaconda Vice, forcing Daniel Garcia to tap out.
Result: CM Punk def. Daniel Garcia

Lucha Brothers (C) vs The Acclaimed (AEW Tag Team Championship Match)
The Acclaimed attacked the AEW Tag Team Champions Lucha Brothers while they were still making their entrance, quickly taking control of the match. It didn't last long as the Lucha Bros caught Max Caster with a double superkick before turning their attention to Anthony Bowens.
Fenix went for a dive out to Bowens, who caught him with a boombox to the face. The Acclaimed now briefly took control of the match before Penta eliminated both men. Fenix then came in and was all over Bowens with kicks, followed by a spinning kick to Max Caster before hitting Bowens with a cutter.
Anthony then took down Fenix mid-handspring before Penta hit him with a superkick. Caster then came in and took out Penta with a superkick. After this, the Lucha Bros were still in control of the match, taking out Caster to isolate Bowens in the middle of the ring. The AEW Tag Team Champions then planted Bowens with a double-team move in the middle of the ring, pinning him to retain their titles.

Ricky Starks vs Brian Cage (AEW Rampage main event)
Ricky Starks immediately tried to bring a steel chair into the ring with him but Cage stopped him in his tracks and tossed the champ into the turnbuckle. Cage then took the chair and smashed Starks across the back, forcing him to roll out. The match headed out to ringside as Starks rolled out of the ring. Cage continued to inflict punishment by tossing Starks into the barricade.
Cage then took out a trash can from under the ring as well as some kind of pipe. Starks tried to hit Cage with a Spear when he entered the ring but was blocked. He instead took the pipe and smashed The Machine with it and followed it up with a Tornado DDT.
