Miro Crushes Fuego Del Sol to Retain TNT Championship on AEW Rampage

Tonight is the very first edition of AEW Rampage from the Petersen Events Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. A show which was hyped for a few weeks and it has certainly delivered. The second match on the card was a title match where the TNT Champion Miro had to defend his title against Fuego Del Sol. But there was a catch, if Del Sol won this match he would get a full-time contract with AEW.

However, Del Sol’s dreams came crashing down when Miro squashed him under five minutes and took away his hoes. After retaining the championship, Miro tore the contract in front of Fuego.

Before the bell rang, Del Sol surprised everyone when he delivered a huge hurricanrana as Miro was still doing his entrance in the ring, the referee called for the bells and he nails another tornado DDT off the top rope, but Miro rolls out to the floor.

Now, with Miro out of the ring, the referee had no choice but to count. Mir almost lost his title as the referee reached the count of nine, but he slid back into the ring.

Sol then delivered another one when Miro came back to the ring, and this time covered him for a two count; however, the momentum changed when Del Sol attempts a move off the top rope and Miro catches him.

Miro then delivers a Samoan drop on the challenger following it up with a big kick to the face. He locks in the game over, wrenches back hard and Sol taps out; hence Sol’s dream of becoming the ‘All Elite’ shatters.

Soon, Sammy Guevara and Tony Khan came out where the AEW’s President hands out a fresh contract to Guevara and went back. Guevara then says sometimes there’s victory in defeat, and hands out a full-time contract for Del Sol.
