AEW Rampage New Year's Smash (12/29/2023).

  • Excalibur & Tony Schiavone welcomed the audience to the broadcast before transitioning into the opening segment.
  • Chris Jericho appeared to kick off the show with a promo. After some reflection on his 2023, Jericho told Sammy Guevara to come to the ring. After Guevara joined him, Jericho wanted to ask why Guevara betrayed Jericho at the AEW Dynamite Grand Slam, to which Guevara responded by saying that he was aiming to leave Jericho's shadow but then realized he was pulling himself back after bringing a child into the world & recovering from a concussion before apologizing to Jericho.
    Jericho accepted the apology, but Jericho also apologized to Guevara for being too much of a control freak and asked Guevara if he wanted to reunite Le Sex Gods to challenge Big Bill & Ricky Starks for the AEW Tag Team Titles. Guevara hugged Jericho, officializing the return of Le Sex Gods.
  • Daniel Garcia & Matt Menard were interviewed by Renee Paquette, where Menard called out The House of Black for attacking Garcia after Garcia's match against Brody King. Garcia said that he was tired of people like The House of Black and promised that he would get his vengeance.
  • Ruby Soho (w/ Saraya & Harley Cameron) def. Marina Shafir (w/ Nyla Rose).
  • The Don Callis Family (Don Callis, Powerhouse Hobbs, Konosuke Takeshita & Kyler Fletcher) & AEW Tag Team Champions Big Bill & Ricky Starks cut a promo backstage. The Callis Family promised to beat down Chris Jericho, Big Bill said that he would go for the win in New York, and Starks promised Sting that he would not make it before AEW Revolution. They will face the team of Sting, Darby Allin & the newly reformed Le Sex Gods.
  • Willow Nightingale & Kris Statlander were interviewed by Renee Paquette backstage, where they checked if they were cool before Willow offered to share the ring with Statlander on World's End in their hometown (Long Island, New York). Stokely Hathaway interrupted and offered a singles match between the two, which Statlander agreed to because she wanted to share the hometown moment with Nightingale.
  • ROH Pure Championship - Pure Rules Match: Wheeler Yuta (c) vs. Matt Sydal.
    • Christopher Daniels, Jimmy Jacobs & Sarah Stock were the judges for the match.
    • After the match, Danhausen came to the ring and called himself the "fourth judge" of the match and "disqualified" Yuta. Yuta punched Danhausen and told him to his ass before hitting the Anvil Elbows on Danhausen. HOOK made the save.
  • There was a video package of MJF losing the ROH Tag Titles against The Devil's Masked Men & Samoa Joe betraying MJF. Samoa Joe said that MJF should have been focused on Joe achieving his destiny and not on some "devil". MJF responded by saying that the only way Joe would win the title was if "Hell froze over" and if the world ended.
  • Action Andretti & Top Flight (Dante Martin & Darius Martin) def. CHAOS (Orange Cassidy, Trent Beretta & Rocky Romero).
