Winner: Shingo Takagi

Rating: **3/4. Man, I love Shingo. The match was fine, but similar to the last match, it was done to introduce the fans to Shingo ahead of the PPV.

Saraya and Harley Cameron are here. Saraya has a country that’s waiting for her to come home as champion and both women have a toast to the “Smitten of Britain.”

Final Thoughts: Not the pre-PPV Rampage we’re used to, more of just a filler show. None of the matches were bad, they were just… there. 6.5/10.
