Welcome back to the weekly episode of Rampage, which aired last night from the Wolstein Center in Cleveland. The highlight of the show will be the match between Claudio Castagnoli and Dustin Rhodes, valid for the Ring of Honor title.
But that's not all, there is also room for the tournament for the Trios titles! And after the usual opening greetings from Excalibur, Jim Ross, Tony Schiavone and Chris Jericho, we immediately jump into action with a 3 vs 3 match!

Claudio Castagnoli vs. Dustin Rhodes
It's main event time! At Dustin's corner, we find Arn Anderson and his son Brock. Claudio Castagnoli, on the other hand, is accompanied by Wheeler Yuta and William Regal, who sits at the comment table replacing Jericho.
Before the match the two opponents shake hands, respecting the code of honor. At the age of 53, the son of the American Dream proves that he can still speak out in the ring, deserving the "You Still Got It" chants from the audience.
At the end of the match Dustin accidentally hits Claudio with a low blow, but the Swiss win with a well-placed European Uppercut on the fly, keeping the ROH title. And on these images ends the episode of Rampage, see you next time!
