Welcome to this week's edition of AEW Rampage results. The show featured four matches and a few major segments.
So without further ado, let's head straight to the results:
Darby Allin vs. Matt Hardy on AEW Rampage
Both stars squared off in the middle of the ring to start the match. Matt Hardy charged towards Darby Allin, but the latter evaded and sent the WWE legend to the outside. Allin went for a bottom rope suicida, but Hardy hit an elbow strike to stop him.

Hardy then whipped Allin into the turnbuckles and followed it up with a sit-out powerbomb for a two-count. Darby Allin reversed another whip into a rollup pin attempt and got a two-count. Allin tried for a Coffin Splash, but Hardy caught him with a Side Effect instead.
Towards the end of the match, Hardy went for a brainbuster, but Allin got out and hit a Scorpion Death Drop instead for a two-count. Darby Allin went for a Coffin Drop, but Hardy stopped him. The latter then went for a moonsault and missed it.
