All Elite Wrestling kicked off June with a star-studded episode of AEW Rampage on June 3.
In a buzzworthy tag team bout, the Young Bucks will face the Lucha Brothers. Plus, Scorpio Sky will defend the TNT Championship against Dante Martin. Plus, Athena will make her AEW in-ring debut against Kiera Hogan.
The results are as follows:
The Young Bucks vs. The Lucha Brothers
Matt Jackson and Penta Oscuro start the bout and square off with their respective taunts. Penta throws his glove at Matt, who dodges an early piledriver attempt. They trade counters as the match is a stalemate early on. Nick Jackson and Fenix tag in and trade fast-paced offense. Nick hits an acrobatic arm drag. They match each other step for step, knock each other down with a kick, and kip back up. The Young Bucks gain the upper hand and rock Fenix with stereo kicks. Nick dives onto Fenix outside the ring, and Penta takes flight with a dive onto the Jackson brothers. Fenix dives onto everyone outside the ring. Nick blasts Fenix with a kick and takes Penta down with a hurricanrana. Fenix plants Matt with a cutter at ringside.
The Lucha Brothers double-team Nick, who rallies and makes tag to Matt. He suplexes Fenix and lifts both Lucha Brothers for a double suplex. Fenix takes Matt down with a hurricanrana and kicks Nick. He hits a diving stomp on Matt for a two count and dives onto him at ringside. Fenix hits a perfect Frog Splash for another two count.
Nick dropkicks Fenix and makes him inadvertently drop Penta with a poison-rana. Fenix rocks Nick with a kick and dives off Penta onto Nick for a near fall. Fenix eats a superkick, and Penta gets invited to a superkick party. The Bucks catch a diving Fenix and hit the Meltzer Driver for a two count. Matt unmasks Penta, and the Bucks superkick him. The Bucks pin Fenix with the BTE Trigger.
Winner: The Young Bucks

Kiera Hogan (with Jade Cargill, Red Velvet, and Stokely Hathaway) vs. Athena
Hogan gains the upper hand with a stiff blow to the face. Athena tries to slam Hogan, but she reverses. Athena hits a springboard crossbody and dives onto her off the apron. She stares down Cargill at ringside, but Velvet pulls Athena off the apron and helps Hogan take control with a leg drop. Hogan keeps grounding Athena. The fan-favorite rallies with a flurry of offense. She stuns Hogan with a kick and an elbow strike. Red Velvet gets up on the apron, and Hogan capitalizes on the distraction by knocking Athena off the top rope. She gets a two count with a running boot. Athena hits the Eclipse for the win.
Winner: Athena

Cargill and Athena stare each other down after the bout.
In a promo, the House of Black comment om the addition of Julia Hart. Malakai Black says this is what it means when they say the house always wins, as this was a carefully executed plan. Hart says these are the fruits of your labor.
