Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results of "AEW Rampage" on February 10, 2023, coming to you from the El Paso County Coliseum in El Paso, Texas!

AEW All-Atlantic Champion Orange Cassidy will be putting his title on the line against The Firm's Lee Moriarty. Cassidy has been the titleholder since defeating PAC on the October 12 episode of "Dynamite". While Moriarty has previously challenged for the FTW and ROH World Championships, this will be his first effort at capturing the All-Atlantic title.

Ruby Soho will be squaring off with "The Problem" Marina Shafir for the first time ever. Soho has had a few encounters with Saraya and Toni Storm over the past few weeks, saving Willow Nightingale from an attack at the hands of the two women and checking on Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. last week after Storm and Saraya left her laid out.
