4 Ups & 2 Downs From AEW Rampage (Oct 29)

1. Eddie Kingston Is P*ssed off

Then, Kingston got angry.

First, he refused a handshake from Danielson post-loss. Then, he ranted and raved behind the curtain before gatecrashing CM Punk's interview time. Irked by the chirpy nature of Punk, Eddie threatened to wipe the smile from his face. That grin faded, and Punk also got p*ssed.

This was good stuff. Wrestlers being happy after losing important matches makes those losses mean less. So, for Kingston to get ticked off about his elimination from the World Title contender's tournament, then get in someone else's face? That's priceless booking.

They'll have another fun match together too. Whilst it might not move the ratings needle skyward, it'll appeal to AEW hardcores who want to see Punk wrestle some more veterans rather than younger guys. A certain 'Straight Edge Saviour' should be eyeballing that Danielson match to see what's possible.
