AEW<\/strong> continues its stay at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota for AEW Rampage<\/strong><\/em>. Pre-taped and back in its original timeslot for tonight. A little over 23 years ago, WCW<\/strong> presented Monday Nitro<\/strong><\/em> on February 28th, 2000 here.<\/p>\n

Four titles were on the line that night. And surprisingly despite it being 2000-era WCW, only one title changed hands\u2014the WCW Hardcore Championship. And…. Well, the whole trio of 3 Count<\/strong>: Shane Helms<\/strong>, Evan Karagias<\/strong>, and Shannon Moore<\/strong> won it from Brian Knobbs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Also in the show, The Mamalukes<\/strong> defeated the team of Idol<\/strong> (the former Lodi<\/strong>) and Lenny Lane to retain the WCW World Tag Team titles.<\/p>\n

Jeff Jarrett<\/strong> retained the WCW United States Championship against Vampiro<\/strong> and the main event saw Sid Vicious<\/strong> defeating Tank Abbott<\/strong> to retain the WCW World Heavyweight Championship in the main event of the show. With that in mind, let’s see what’s in store for AEW Rampage<\/em> tonight.<\/p>\n

Returnhausen!<\/h3>\n

This week’s Rampage is set to have THREE Trios matches and one Atomicos (that’s the Mexican wrestling term for 4 vs 4) match. That would be this match.<\/p>\n

After weeks and weeks of vignettes, a seeming absence due to controversy that was then debunked, and a couple of weeks in silence, Danhausen<\/strong> finally made his return to TV on the Thanksgiving Eve edition of AEW Dynamite<\/strong><\/em> in the corner of Orange Cassidy<\/strong>, Hook<\/strong>,\u00a0and Katsuyori Shibata<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

His promos hyping his return were originally exclusive to AEW Rampage<\/em> and sticking to that, his in-ring return is set for Rampage<\/em>. He teams with Cassidy and Hook as well as Trent Beretta<\/strong> to take on the mix of two teams: ‘Daddy Magic’ Matt Menard<\/strong>, ‘Cool Hand’ Angelo Parker<\/strong>, and the Dark Order’s Alex Reynolds<\/strong> and John Silver<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As Danhausen makes his return, the other side of the ring as Cool Hand Ang who seems to be constantly distracted with his very “Romeo & Juliet” styled romance with Ruby Soho<\/strong>. She nor her partner Saraya<\/strong> may not be in the match. But, let’s be honest.<\/p>\n

We seem to get one weekly interaction in that story. Can Danhausen, Trent, and their Champion partners persevere?<\/p>\n
