5 Ups & 1 Down From AEW Rampage (Nov 4)

4. Intrigue + Top Wrestlers = Good

Starks' speech wasn't the only good promo on the show. Blackpool Combat Club members Claudio Castagnoli and Bryan Danielson encouraged Chris Jericho to "take [his] pick" between them for an ROH Title defence. Later, Jericho had a rebuttal, and a strong one.

He suggested that they make it a Fatal-4-Way and include Sammy Guevara in the mix. Adding another layer to the story, Jericho said that he knew Sammy would "do the right thing" at Full Gear. The skit ended with Guevara looking rather confused; Sammy then put a bow on this after the fact by showing solidarity and challenging Danielson to a rematch.

The match will obviously be ace. Jericho, Claudio, Danielson and Sammy is quite the mix of talent, but it's the potential drama that elevates all of this. Seeing Guevara come up short in a bid to help Jericho, or maybe even trying to pin him to win the ROH belt, has legs.

Good stuff.
