Besides, that post-match was nifty.

Claudio Castagnoli and Konosuke Takeshita popped up to cost The Bucks and Hangman their match vs. Dark Order. Then, the BCC pair threatened to bash everyone's heads in with steel chairs. That prompted Kenny Omega to sprint out with a chair of his own to fend them off as the crowd cheered.

This was the kind of angle you'd usually see on Dynamite (not Collision though, because big nasty CM Punk works there and folks don't get along!), so there's no way it was ever getting anything other than an 'Up' for happening on Rampage. More of this focus on major feuds would be lovely.

'Blood & Guts' is coming up, but few actually believed they'd see any build for that match on episodes of Rampage. Fingers crossed there's a little more of that next week too. In fact, why not just turn next week's show into a preview piece for the bloody brawl?
