AEW Rampage Results: Jon Moxley and Blackpool Combat Club battle top faction; Major title match in the main event
Welcome to this week's edition of AEW Rampage results. The show featured four matches, including a title bout.
So without further ado, let's head straight to the results:
Blackpool Combat Club vs. Private Party and Rush on AEW Rampage

Claudio Castagnoli and Marq Quen started the match for their respective teams. Castagnoli slammed Quen and then shoved his opponent into the corner. The Private Party responded by hitting a dropkick on Castagnoli.
Wheeler Yuta and Isiah Kassidy were tagged in. The latter started the offense with some kicks, but Yuta applied a submission move to slow things down. Kassidy went for a hip toss, but Yuta rolled him up for a two-count.
Rush and Jon Moxley were tagged in and the two exchanged some heavy strikes on each other. Moxley hit a clothesline on Rush to get the advantage. The latter recovered to tease the Bull's Horn, but hit a stomp on Moxley's face before posing in the middle of the ring. A miscommunication between Rush and Kassidy allowed Claudio Castagnoli to get the upper hand.
At one point in the clash, Castagnoli had both members for the giant swing, with Marq Quen on the Swiss star's shoulders. Towards the end, The Purveyor of Violence took out Rush outside the ring as Wheeler Yuta and Quen battled inside the ring. Yuta then applied an armbar to pick up a submission victory.

Post-match, Mark Sterling entered the ring and said that he has trademarked the term 'varsity.' As a result, Varsity Blonds can't use that name, and the duo of Tony Nese and Josh Woods will be known as Varsity Athletes. Sterling then took a shot at The Acclaimed for their attack on National Scissoring Day.
