1 Up & 6 Downs From AEW Rampage (Aug 26)

Downs...

6. House Of Blah

House Of Black AEW

You can't defend The Dark Order getting a 'surprise roll-up' win over House Of Black. Who cares about Miro's interference giving them an out? Malakai Black's crew were made to look like idiots here, and there's no justifiable excuse for why they continue to struggle against teams much lower on the food chain than them.

Brody King was challenging for the AEW World Title a short time ago, and now he can't even outmuscle 10? Come on now. This is a sad state of affairs for the group - they huff and puff against lesser teams whilst commentary pretends that nothing of the sort is happening and hypes them up.

Also, who has interest in seeing Dark Order or Best Friends (a match that'll happen next week) in the Trios Title tournament final against either The Elite or United Empire? It's gonna be Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks anyway, and they're not jobbing to either babyface threesome.

Rampage's opener was another that did HOB no favours.
