All Elite Wrestling delivered a live episode of AEW Rampage on May 27, just two days ahead of AEW Double or Nothing.
The results are as follows:
Bryan Danielson vs. Matt Sydal
Danielson and Sydal feel each other out with some technical holds. “The American Dragon” gains the upper hand, but Sydal fires up and takes him down. Danielson drops his opponent with a backbreaker and grounds him with a few submission holds. Sydal rallies with a leg lariat, but Danielson drills him with some stiff strikes. He suplexes Sydal on the ropes and hits a diving knee while he’s hung over the ropes. Sydal perseveres with a few kicks and drops Danielson with a hurricanrana. Another kick to the head earns Sydal a two count. Sydal hits a Meteora, but Danielson rolls through and locks in a single crab. Danielson kicks him again, but Sydal hits an innovative sunset flip powerbomb for a two count. Both men trade blows, and Sydal gets a two count with a backslide. Danielson hits the running knee, elbows Sydal and chokes him out for the win.

Owen Hart Foundation Women’s Tournament Semifinals: Ruby Soho vs. Kris Statlander
Soho and Statlander feel each other out, and they’re evenly matched early on. Statlander overpowers Soho and drops her. She hits an impressive stalling vertical suplex and slams Soho again. Statlander slams Soho one more time, but “The Runaway” rallies and gets some breathing room. They trade strikes, and Statlander showcases her strength by catching Soho and throwing her. Soho drills her with some elbows to the head and hits a hurricanrana off the ropes. Statlander gets a two count with a powerbomb.
