5 Ups & 3 Downs From AEW Rampage: Fyter Fest Week One (July 15)

2. Such A Waste

Wow, this sucked.

The Renegades aren't in any position to do so, but they'd be forgiven for marching into Tony Khan's office and asking what the point of killing it on Dark is if they're treated like jobbers on the main shows; Robyn also had a fun bout vs. Ruby Soho on this show several months back.

That, apparently, counts for nothing. They were sacrificial lambs for Kris Statlander and Athena (who aren't even a proper team!), and they deserve so much more than this utter tripe. Honestly, AEW should've switched the first two tags and had HOB run straight through Reynolds/Silver instead.

Worse, All Elite instantly negated the point of the squash by having Jade Cargill and Kiera Hogan run out to dispatch the victorious babyfaces with ease. Thanks for coming, Renegades. Maybe half-ass it on Dark next time and thumb your nose at Tony.
