The main event of tonight’s AEW Rampage decided the final match in the Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, and after tonight either Kris Statlander or Ruby Soho would be moving on to face Britt Baker at Double or Nothing. They locked up and Statlander had control with a sidelock takedown, and when Soho reversed it she broke it and countered another move by Soho. Statlander knocked Soho down with a Shoulder Block and then flipped over Soho. Statlander then knocked Soho down again and went for the cover, but Soho kicked out. Soho dodged Statlander and then pulled the next punch, and the referee split them up. Soho sent Statlander into the corner and then Soho hit an Arm Drag. The next one was stopped by Statlander and then they traded blows until Statlander knocked Soho to the mat hard.
Statlander picked up Soho and held her in place for a while before finally slamming her down. Soho would mount a comeback but that was halted when Statlander caught her and hit a splash followed by a cover, but Soho kicked out. Soho would return the favor but Statlander would get the upper hand yet again.
