3 Ups & 2 Downs From AEW Rampage (Aug 25)

1. Another Winner For Orange

Was this a step below most Orange Cassidy title defences? Sure. Was it still a solid outing? Absolutely. Orange has been on a tear for the longest time as International Champ. AEW will have to give someone else a turn with the belt someday, but nobody should be mad if Rampage keeps getting matches like this one.

It was fab.

Harley Cameron's importance to the QTV cause came to the fore when she handed Aaron Solo two rather convincing near falls near the end. Firstly, she grabbed a mic and started singing to grab Cassidy's attention. Then, following that singing interlude, she caused a boot-based distraction.

Spots like both of these hand Harley better importance to the faction's quest. She's a good fit for the kind of matches Solo wants to work too, because there will always be moments when both wrestlers are outside the ring on the floor.
