After Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite episode went off the air, All Elite Wrestling taped another episode of AEW Rampage that aired last night on the TBS Network. One of the main events of the night featured a huge battle royal to determine the new and first challenger for the Interim World Champion Jon Moxley.
The opening contest of AEW Rampage from the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan featured this match. Brody King (of House of Black) won this Royal Rampage match by eliminating Darby Allin, in the end, to earn an Interim AEW World Championship match against Jon Moxley. There’s no update is available on when this match will take place. PWInsider has already provided the spoiler following Wednesday Night.

As seen on AEW Rampage, the two rings used for the Blood & Guts match were redesigned for the inaugural Royal Rampage where ten competitors featured in each ring for this over-the-top-rope challenge, with new competitors entering the fray every minute.
Initially, there was some confusion about the rules of the two final men in the match, and if they’d engage in a traditional singles match or if the match will continue with battle royal rules. As seen on AEW Rampage, the match concluded with regular battle royal rules where King threw Allin over the top rope and cement himself as the new number-one contender to Moxley’s championship.
