On August 27, AEW is scheduled to host their grandest event to date, All In, at Wembley Stadium. With a seating capacity of approximately 90,000, it remains to be seen how many seats will be made available following the event configuration, but AEW has set its sights on smashing attendance records. ## Interestingly, this will be the first wrestling event at the modern Wembley Stadium. Back in 1992, WWE managed to attract a crowd of 80,355 for SummerSlam at the old Wembley Stadium. FTR recently expressed their aspirations of headlining a dream match that would attract a massive audience and propel AEW to new heights, as revealed during an interview with Raj Prashad from Uproxx. ## “CM Punk and FTR versus the Elite,” Dax Harwood said. “That’s gotta be it, right? If you want to sell 50,000 tickets and take this company to the next level, that’s it, that’s me dreaming. That’s the dream match. That six-man tag in Wembley Stadium could help launch AEW to the next level.” ## Since his victory over Jon Moxley for the AEW World Title at AEW All Out 2022, Punk has been absent from AEW Television due to an injury. However, he made headlines for airing his grievances with The Elite (comprised of Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks), Hangman Page, and Colt Cabana during the post-show press conference. Punk's remarks triggered an altercation involving himself, Ace Steel, and The Elite, resulting in the suspension of both Punk and The Elite, while Steel was terminated from the promotion. ## Wheeler continued, “Wembley Stadium is huge for AEW. AEW has to be ambitious right now. We’ve done so much as a company over the past three years that everybody said we couldn’t do. When Tony said we’re going to sell 20,000 (tickets at Arthur Ashe Stadium), that seemed ridiculous to people at the time. Everybody wants to keep moving the goalposts. Everybody wants to keep saying you can’t do this. I love that we’re going to Wembley because even if it’s not completely to the brim full, 50-, 60-, 70,000, whatever it ends up being, that’s huge for this company. As a company that’s only a couple years into its existence. You can’t play it safe all the time. The roster right now is so deep, why not go for it?” ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

Here are the full results for AEW Rampage which takes place on April 7, 2023, from Ryan Center in Kingston, RI. ## AEW Rampage airs every Friday at 10 pm ET on TNT in the United States. It is AEW's second weekly television show, positioned behind their flagship show, Dynamite. ## AEW Rampage Results April 7, 2023 ## FTW Rules Match: Hook (c) Vs Ethan Page ## This intense matchup featured no-disqualification rules and a falls-count-anywhere stipulation. The two wrestlers immediately brawled into the crowd, unleashing their fury on each other. Hook displayed his strength early on, executing a powerful T-Bone suplex on Page, causing him to crash to the floor. ## As the match progressed, Page retaliated with a vengeance, slamming Hook through a table at ringside. However, Hook proved to be a resilient opponent, dodging Page's chair shot and countering with a Twist of Fate onto the chair for a close two-count. Page tried to regain control with a brutal pump kick, but Hook refused to back down. ## In the end, it was Hook who emerged victorious, locking Page into his signature submission hold, the Redrum (formerly known as the Tazmission), forcing Page to tap out. Hook's dominance didn't end there, as he continued his assault, T-Boning Page through a table in the corner. The crowd was left in awe of the brutal and hard-fought contest between these two fierce competitors. ## WINNER: Hook via submission ## Jericho Appreciation Society & The Acclaimed Vs LSG, Bobby Orlando & The Infantry ## As JAS made their way to the ring, Jake Hager accompanied them, creating a formidable presence. However, Max Caster didn't hesitate to take a jab at JAS, rapping about them being more annoying than Marjorie Taylor Greene. ## During the match, The Acclaimed showcased their impressive teamwork, executing their signature "Scissor Me Timbers" double-team move on Orlando. Caster sealed the deal with a Mic Drop, a frog splash elbow drop, securing the victory. ## But their triumph was short-lived, as JAS, alongside Jake Hager, launched a surprise attack on The Acclaimed during their post-match celebration. The ambush left The Acclaimed battered and bruised, with JAS and Hager standing tall in the ring. ## Despite the underhanded tactics employed by JAS and Hager, The Acclaimed refused to back down, ready to seek revenge and prove themselves as true contenders in the ring. ## WINNER: Jericho Appreciation Society & The Acclaimed ## Darby Allin Vs Lee Moriarty (w/ Big Bill) ## Jim Ross and Excalibur reported that Darby Allin had been hit by a car while skateboarding in New York City the day before. Despite this, he was cleared to compete in the match. The crowd in Rhode Island showed their support for Allin with a loud "DAR-BY!" chant before the match even began. ## During the match, Allin started off strong, locking in a headlock and coming close to a pin with a La Casita maneuver. The crowd erupted into another chant for Allin. However, Moriarty began to gain momentum, targeting Allin's midsection and slamming him into the barricade outside the ring. ## When the program returned from a break, Allin received yet another chant from the crowd as he made his comeback, delivering a shotgun dropkick to Moriarty in the corner. But Big Bill Morrissey appeared once again, distracting Allin and causing him to crash onto the ropes. ## Moriarty seized the opportunity and lifted Allin up for a vertical suplex, dropping him stomach-first over the top rope. He followed up with a superplex attempt, but Allin held on and countered with a small package pin for a near fall. Moriarty also tried a wrist-clutch pin but could only get a two count. Allin regained control with a Code Red on Moriarty before taking out Big Bill with a dive through the bottom rope. Allin then finished off Moriarty with a Coffin Drop for the win. ## WINNER: Darby Allin ## Singles Match: Anna Jay vs. Julia Hart ## Before Hart could finish her introduction, Jay launched an attack, and the two fierce competitors tumbled to the floor, grappling and scrapping for the first few minutes. In a sudden turn of events, Hart whipped Jay into the barricade as the match spilled back out onto the floor. With a display of raw power, Anna Jay hoisted Hart up in a power bomb, holding her upside down in mid-air before slamming her head-first into the barricade. The program then cut to commercials, leaving viewers on edge. ## During the break, Jay maintained her offensive momentum, but when the show returned, Hart had regained control of the match. The youngest wrestler in AEW, according to Jim Ross, Hart executed a running basement elbow to Jay's back, followed by a standing moonsault that earned her a close two-count. ## Jay managed to turn the tide again, almost sealing the victory with the Queenslayer sleeper hold, but was unable to apply it fully. Hart battled back, fighting Jay into the corner before placing her on the top rope, where she was hanging helplessly in the Tree of Woe position. Hart then pulled herself up to grab Jay and throw her back into the ring, before executing a beautiful moonsault press that earned another near fall. ## Jay attempted to apply the Queenslayer sleeper hold once again, but in the midst of the struggle, the two wrestlers tumbled out of the ring. As they fought for leverage, Jay rolled back into the ring, leaving Hart almost counted out. Seizing the opportunity, Hart used a dirty tactic and spit poison mist into Jay's face when the referee was not looking. With Jay disoriented and blinded, Hart capitalized by rolling her into an inside cradle for the controversial win. ## WINNER: Anna Jay ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.
