AEW Rampage delivered a thrilling main event tonight, as Darby Allin would have his first defense of the TNT Championship since taking it from Samoa Joe. Up first was The Kingdom’s Mike Bennett, who was out to make a statement and take down one of AEW’s biggest fan favorites. Bennett backed it up in the ring, punishing Allin at several points, including a run of slams into the barricade that took a toll on the Champion. Allin never stopped coming back though, and he was able to string together an impressive run of top rope moves that ended with a Coffin Drop and a thrilling win, retaining his TNT Championship.
