AEW Rampage: Death Before Dishonor card is full
This week’s AEW Rampage was the go home show before Death Before Dishonor. It will be ROH’s second pay-per-view since being acquired by Tony Khan.
Early in the show, Claudio Castagnoli came out to do something we rarely saw from him elsewhere: cut a promo. Clad in jeans and a Blackpool Combat Club jacket, Castagnoli stepped into the ring to talk about his title match with Jonathan Gresham. He got straight the point and said that winning a world championship has been “the one thing that has eluded me for my whole career.” He went on to day that “I believe I am the best because you guys support me, and because you guys believe in me.”

Jay Lethal faced Christoper Daniels in the main event. Daniels faced Lethal twice in 2017 when he was the ROH World Champion. Lethal went after “The Fallen Angel” before the bell even rang. Soon, they were back on equal footing. The men drew on their previous history to deliver a good main event. Lethal got the win with the Lethal Injection.
After the match, Satnam Singh and Lethal continued to use Daniels to send a message to Samoa Joe. Sonjay Dutt egged Lethal on and screamed into the camera to goad Joe.
At the conclusion of the main event of #AEWRampage #FyterFest, Jay Lethal makes a very personal statement directed at #ROH World TV Champion Samoa Joe, ahead of their Championship match at #DeathBeforeDishonor TOMORROW NIGHT LIVE on PPV! We will see you all there! pic.twitter.com/rGS3gmxbYm
