00:00Our main event tonight on Rampage, The Beast Mortos.
00:03A very real chance to take this match.
00:06This next match is set for one fall
00:08with a 20-minute time limit.
00:10Approaching the ring, Mina Shirakawa.
00:15She comes in wearing a lot of gold here.
00:17Yeah, she certainly does. It's Mina Shirakawa.
00:22Great to see Mina back.
00:25She's now the rep pro
00:26Undisputed British Women's Champion.
00:28That's right, winning the title
00:30the night before all in London.
00:32Last Saturday night at a rep pro event in London.
00:36How do you think Mina feels about Mariah May
00:38winning the title the way she did?
00:41And her opponent, Misa Kate.
00:45I think Mina Shirakawa, I mean, she was, we saw her.
00:48She was in the Royal Box at Wembley Stadium.
00:50She was torn between who she wanted to root for,
00:53whether it was Mariah May or Timeless Toni Storm,
00:55but it was Mariah May that won
00:59the AEW Women's World Championship
01:01at Wembley Stadium last Sunday.
01:03And it was Timeless Toni Storm that disappeared
01:06into the streets of London after the loss and took a hike.
01:09Timeless Toni Storm has had a,
01:13let's say a difficult mental state for the last few months.
01:18And I think that that loss to Mariah May,
01:20a woman that Toni Storm loved,
01:22may have finally pushed Toni Storm over the edge.
01:25And you know, I can understand that.
01:26I get it because, I mean, that was her protege.
01:31And she just absolutely turned on her.
01:32And then as we saw on Wednesday, I mean, the glamour has.
01:40I don't know why she would stop there,
01:42just smoke her in the back of the head.
01:44Nice leg sweep there by Mina Shirakawa,
01:46like right there, right?
01:47That's it.
01:49And fans, just a reminder, coming up one week from tonight,
01:51live on TNT, big night of action.
01:54It's Collision, special night and time,
01:56next Friday night, 8, 7 central,
01:58right here on TNT, immediately followed by Rampage.
02:00And then Rampage immediately followed by Countdown,
02:04the night before All Out, live on pay-per-view.
02:07Cover here by Mina.
02:09See how crisp and explosive
02:11that Russian leg sweep was right there.
02:13Misa Kate, by the way, in her seventh AEW match.
02:16So we've seen her before, a six-year vet,
02:18got a kickboxing background.
02:21She's got to use it here.
02:22Yeah, she sure does.
02:24Mina, oh, trying to neutralize those kicks
02:27by attacking the knees of her opponent.
02:31You gotta love how Mina just dances in between the moves.
02:34Gives you a little show, you know?
02:35Nope, Misa Kate backing Mina up off to the corner.
02:39And Mina, though, slipping between the ropes,
02:42connects with the elbow strike.
02:44And Mina, oh, big enziguri.
02:48As Mina Shirakawa, now perhaps thinking
02:54something off the top.
02:56Definitely going upstairs.
02:58Yeah, but wasting a little bit of time
03:01before she got there.
03:02And Misa's pretty far here.
03:03Oh, frog splash by Mina Shirakawa.
03:06Two, no, no problem.
03:11As Mina, longtime friend, longtime tag team partner,
03:16of our AEW Women's World Champion, Mariah May,
03:22as that Glamorous Driver, Mina avoided Misa Kate.
03:28Thrust kick, and now, there you go, cover.
03:32Man, that would have been a huge upset victory
03:35for Misa Kate.
03:36That was a great exchange, a great kick out.
03:38And then a near fall that time.
03:42Tell you what, guys, one kick in the face
03:44Tell you what, guys, one kick,
03:45and she's back in this thing.
03:46Absolutely.
03:47That's that kickboxing background
03:48that Tony spoke about, perhaps.
03:51As Mina finding herself in trouble,
03:54maybe dragging suplex in her future.
03:55Nope, Mina reverses.
03:57Great counter.
03:58Pitting predicament.
04:00Misa able to kick out, and Mina, roll,
04:02laying elbow strike.
04:04The back fist, and now, back heel kick.
04:07Okay!
04:11Mina Shirakawa, looking for that driver she's got.
04:16Keeps calling for it.
04:16Misa in her, and connects!
04:20One, two, three!
04:22False one.
04:24The winner of this match, Mina Shirakawa.
04:29Mina Shirakawa making short work of the competition
04:32tonight on Rampage.
04:34An impressive victory.
04:37But this past Wednesday, Will O'Nightingale
04:39picked the Chicago Street Fight for All Out.
04:41Let's hear from Chris Statlander and Stokely Hathaway.
