Switch: Surprise Turn Takes Place On AEW Rampage, New Title Match Set

To the other side. There are a lot of wrestling promotions in the world today and they all have their own talented stars. Some of these names are rather well known and you can see them on a regular basis, but sometimes you have someone who is more of a special treat. One of those stars was in action this week, but something happened that made a bigger impact than his match.

This week’s edition of AEW Rampage featured a tag team match between Ring Of Honor World Champion Jonathan Gresham and Lee Moriarty against the Gates of Agony. During the match, Gresham walked out on Moriarty and shook hands with Tully Blanchard, seemingly joining Tully Blanchard Enterprises, along with the Gates of Agony. Later in the show, it was announced that Moriarty will challenge Gresham for the title next week on Rampage.

Opinion: I’m not sure about this but it is a different way to go for Gresham and sets up Moriarty as his next challenger. We could be in for a very good technical match between those two and that is always a nice way to go. If nothing else, Death Before Dishonor needs a World Title match and while this wouldn’t headline, it would be a rather nice bonus for the card if the Rampage match doesn’t end clean. At worst, someone comes after Gresham after the Moriarty match, so at worst it is a means to an end.

What do you think of the angle? How will the title match go? Let us know in the comments below.
