AEW Rampage Results: Winners, Grades, Reaction and Highlights from November 26

The day after Thanksgiving usually involves eating leftovers, trying to get relatives out of the house before they overstay their welcome and standing in long lines for a slightly bigger discount on a TV. Thankfully, it also means there is plenty of pro wrestling on television.

This week's special Black Friday episode of Rampage had three interesting matchups on the card to help get us through that turkey hangover.

After it was discovered that Riho was never eliminated from the Casino Battle Royale, AEW President Tony Khan gave her a match against Britt Baker with the stipulation being if Riho won, she would earn a future title shot.

Following their backstage confrontation on Dynamite, Daniel Garcia went up against Eddie Kingston on Friday's show.

We also saw Orange Cassidy and Wheeler Yuta take on Adam Cole and Bobby Fish in tag team action. Let's take a look at everything that happened.

This week's show opened with the tag match between Cassidy and Yuta of Best Friends and the duo of Cole and Fish from The Superkliq.

Fish and Yuta started with a nice technical exchange of grappling takedowns and counters. Fish hit a knee to the gut to kick off a string of strikes that backed Yuta to the corner.

Cassidy got the cold tag and hit a lazy double-team move before Cole was brought in. They did their signature poses in each other's faces. Cassidy took him down with a quick arm drag. Cole used a full nelson to keep him from putting his hands in his pockets.

Fish was able to take control of Yuta. We returned from the break to see Yuta hit a kick out of desperation, but Cole yanked Cassidy off the apron before he could tag in.

OC finally got the tag and came in hot to take out both opponents. He spiked Fish with a DDT and hit Cole with a suicide dive while Yuta took out Fish with a crossbody. Yuta hit Cole with a high splash for a two-count.

Cole and Fish almost took out Cassidy, but Yuta was able to make the save. Fish was able to get the win with a huge falcon arrow to Yuta.

Grade: B

Analysis

Mixing comedy and good technical wrestling is not the easiest thing to do, but these four guys managed to pull it off, especially during the first half of the match.

This bout had great energy, a hot crowd and some fun spots. It was a great way to kick off the show and highlight three newer stars and one who has been there since AEW launched.

Yuta and Cole were the standouts in this match. Let's hope a singles bout between them is in the cards.

Baker and Riho locked up and got right to work. They used a series of wristlocks and arm drags before D.M.D. hit a knee to stop their exchange.

Riho was able to avoid the Lockjaw and ended up taking out both Baker and Rebel with a crossbody from the top rope to the floor. Jamie Hayter saw to Rebel while Riho brought Baker back in for a running elbow in the corner.

We returned from a break to see Baker in firm control. She put Riho in the corner and stomped her to the mat. Riho recovered and started to go on a roll with a headscissor takedown and a running knee to the face.

Baker planted her in the corner with a suplex to stop her momentum. The former women's champion countered her into a dragon suplex. She scored a near-fall with a northern lights suplex.

Riho ended up pinning Baker out of nowhere to get a surprise win and earn a future title shot.

Grade: B

Analysis

This was a surprisingly competitive match that made Riho look better than she has in any match since losing the title, other than possibly her encounter with Serena Deeb.

Even though Riho came into AEW with a lot of praise for her work, she has improved quite a bit since the company launched. If you look at her early matches compared to this one, she has a much better flow to her work. The same can be said for Baker.

D.M.D. has also slowly added muscle over the past several months, so the size difference between them was a little more pronounced than usual. It helped make Riho more of an underdog.

The main event saw Kingston take on Garcia after 2.0 and Garcia threw coffee in his face and attacked him during Wednesday's Dynamite. During their pre-match interview, Kingston laughed at the idea of Garcia beating him.

They locked up, and Kingston knocked Garcia down with one shot. He backed the 23-year old to the corner for some more strikes, but a distraction by 2.0 allowed Garcia to get the upper hand.

Garcia received a little help from 2.0 during the break to regain control of the match. He slowed the pace down a bit and started being more methodical with how he went after The Mad King.

Kingston started to favor his knee after taking a lot of damage, but when Garcia tried to close in on him, Kingston grabbed him for an exploder suplex to give himself some breathing room.

At one point, Garcia and Kingston started trading open-hand strikes and punches. It took a big knee from Garcia to put an end to the scuffle. The Mad King was able to rally and hit a huge backfist to get the win. He was immediately attacked by 2.0, but Chris Jericho ran down to make the save.

Grade: B+

Analysis

The first two matches were competitive but much more traditional in their presentation. This bout was more like a fistfight, which is exactly what it needed to be.

Garcia and Kingston both used some standard wrestling maneuvers, but they were much more aggressive in the way they went about dishing out punishment. They did a great job making it feel like they really hate each other with a passion.

It was smart to put this match in the main event spot because it was unlikely anything was going to beat it.
