4 Ups & 2 Downs From AEW Rampage (April 22)

2. …But Not For Long!

...that pesky Daniels had to go and ruin it.

Mox initially stopped BCC pals Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta from kicking lumps out of Christopher Daniels backstage, but then sh*t went south. Daniels said people were wrong about Moxley: "I guess you got a bit of honour about you". Oops! Cue Christopher's head being slammed into some lockers.

BCC wrecked shop, and this was a nice flick of the switch moment from Jon. His words after smacking Daniels around were great too; "We never changed - it's everybody else who's out of their damn minds". The best heels believe wholeheartedly in their actions, so more of this would be sweet.

Expect The Elite to eventually avenge what happened to Daniels here. Excalibur set the table for that mid-match by describing the on/off friendship Daniels has with The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega. Overall, this match-into-promo bit was a story well told.
