5 Ups & 4 Downs From AEW Rampage (Dec 16)

2. Building Anticipation

Then, All Elite hit the repeat button.

That's not a diss - Hangman Page answering Moxley's challenge by coming out to throw fists was exactly what it needed to be, and even the security on hand did better than such extras normally do. Apparently, Mox and Page didn't smear themselves in butter before coming through the curtain, because security could actually hold them back.

Seriously though, this was another feather in Rampage's cap. Segments like this one are perfect for a show this length, and JR shouting: "When can we see this match?!" summed up viewer sentiment in one succinct question. Yeah, Tony Khan. When can we see a rematch between these men? It'll be some brawl.

Last time, Mox sent Hangman careening into the steel ring post to sell Page's concussion issues. Here, it seemed to be the 'Cowboy' who was getting the upper hand before security split the pair and hauled them off in different directions.
