You knew the Tables Match between The Hardys and The Butcher and The Blade was doomed early when Jeff failed to actually go through a table in what was meant to be his elimination from the match. As always, an entertaining promo brimming with conviction. The trio of babyfaces called out their foes for a six-man tag team match next week in New Orleans. "If I were you, I would get my affairs in order," Page told his top contender to hammer home the seriousness of the hell Cole is about to enter.Įddie Kingston, Santana and Ortiz brawled with the Jericho Appreciation Society, chasing them out of the arena. Cole sold it perfectly, both dismayed and concerned. Page challenged Cole next Friday night on Rampage.in a Texas Deathmatch.Cole failing to put Cage away with The Boom and Excalibur claiming it was because he did not lower the kneepad, just like he failed to do against Page at Revolution, was a great callout by the play-by-play commentator.Cage leapfrogged the ring post only to crash and burn on the arena floor as Cole retained control of the bout.Cole spit at Cage, attempting to sucker him into chasing him, only for Captain Charisma to see it coming and cut him off with a big right hand on the floor.There will be no such thing as cheating next Friday in Texas when he challenges Hangman Page for the AEW world title in a Texas Deathmatch. He is a traditional heel who talks a big game and has to cheat to secure victories. It would be nice to see Cole win one of these matches clean, without having to resort to underhanded tactics, but it is a major aspect of his character right now. The sequences were great and the psychology was strong.Ĭole hooking the rope with his leg to counteract an attempted Killswitch, then poking the eyes and following up with a Boom (no kneepad this time) for the win made for a great finish that put over his in-ring awareness and ability to cheat like hell and go undetected. The pay-per-view-quality match was a great way to kick off the show in front of a red-hot Boston crowd. Whether 28 or 48, Christian Cage remains the smoothest professional wrestler in the business, something that was on full display Wednesday night as he battled Adam Cole in the night's opening contest.
