4. Cash Wheeler Echoes His Partner

FTR are obviously one of the best tags in pro wrestling, but they've been showing off their skills in some nifty singles matches recently. Rampage featured the latest chapter in those spin-off stories; Cash Wheeler vs. Jeff Cobb was quite the fun little main event.

Special mention for Caprice Coleman on guest commentary. His ROH context for Cobb was very welcome, and it's actually something AEW doesn't do enough of. Guys land in the company willy nilly, but they rarely take the time to explain where they've been, or why fans should care.

Coleman scratched that itch.

Both Wheeler and Cobb put together a solid story here. Cash had to dig deep the longer the match went (he's a tag guy, after all), and Jeff's power game was overbearing for him near the end. Oh yes, Mr. Wheeler just matched Dax Harwood's solo efforts with this one.
