AEW Rampage debuted on August 13th, 2021! And the new program started with Christian Cage vs Kenny Omega for the IMPACT World Wrestling Championship title.

As the bell went off, Omega, and Cage took their time to start the match. Finally, Omega dropped the first move but immediately Christian Cage gained control and shoved Omega to the corner. The referee had to break them up!

Next, Cage put Omega in a chokehold, and took him down after bouncing Onega off the ropes. To rub salt on the wound, Cage showed Omega he was number one in this match.

Right when it seemed Cage had control, Omega started attacking Christian Cage. Unfortunately, he couldn’t keep his dominance for long and stepped out of the ring to recover. Instead of waiting in the ring, Cage chased him around the ring before both pro-wrestlers resumed the in-ring match.

A brief while after this, Cage executed a brutal Drop Kick on Omega when the champion was out of the ring. Cage climbed the ropes to jump on Omega, but Don Callis distracted him and Omega pushed him off.

Kenny Omega and Christian Cage attempted several pins

The first pin attempt was from Omega’s end. He bounced off the ropes and dropped on Cage and tried to pin him. But, Cage kicked out at the last moment.

The second pinfall attempt was by Cage who almost got the win. Unfortunately for Cage, Omega kicked out.
