During Sunday night’s AEW Dynamite and Rampage taping at the Hammerstein Ballroom in Manhattan, New York, fans are reporting Tony Khan has confirmed that the Rampage taping will be the last one for the “foreseeable future.”
AEW Rampage debuted on TNT back on August 13, 2021. The premiere episode featured Christian Cage defeating Kenny Omega to win the IMPACT World Championship, as part of the working relationship both promotions had at the time.
The second episode, billed as The First Dance, aired live August 20, 2021 on TNT from the United Center in Chicago, Illinois featured CM Punk’s return to wrestling after a seven year absence. That episode was the highest rated ever, which drew 1.126 million viewers.
Rampage averaged under 300,000 viewers for most of 2024.
