Rampage is an easy watch.

What's that? No, not sure this writer has ever mentioned that. At the risk of being predictable, it's worth repeating: AEW RAMPAGE IS SUPER-EASY TO SIT THROUGH. Those 60 minutes fly past, and there's typically enough of a teaser for next week's Dynamite to make it a mini-preview show for the flagship too.

This week, All Elite featured young stars like Darby Allin and Jungle Boy. In the women's division, they put an emerging heel over strongly. There was even enough time for some veterans to get their shine on; Billy Gunn, Christian Cage and Sting all looked good to varying degrees, and the Superkliq continues erm...clicking (or should that be 'kliq-ing'?).

Not everything was balls to the wall great though. One moment during the opener threatened to derail it, and the general feud Allin and Sting are being tasked with working feels like a bit of a letdown after some hot issues with the likes of CM Punk and MJF.

It says everything about Rampage that even the 'Downs' are mild though. Here's all the good and bad from the latest edition.
