Welcome to Bleacher Report's live coverage and recap of AEW Dynamite and Rampage on March 20.

This week's Rampage is airing right after Dynamite instead of its usual spot on Friday, so AEW packed the card to make it feel like a special event.

Here is a look at the advertised card for Wednesday's three-hour block:

• Hook vs. Chris Jericho
• Eddie Kingston vs. Kazuchika Okada
• Adam Copeland vs. Christian Cage
• Toni Storm and Mariah May vs. Thunder Rosa and Deonna Purrazzo
• Willow Nightingale and Kris Statlander vs. Julia Hart and Skye Blue
• Orange Cassidy and Trent Beretta vs. Don Callis Family

Let's take a look at what happened on this week's Dynamite and Rampage.

Eddie Kingston vs. Kazuchika Okada

Tony Schiavone wasted no time kicking things when he introduced Mercedes Moné. She spoke about coming to AEW after nearly being forced to retire from an injury.

She spoke for less than 10 minutes and almost ended her promo uninterrupted, but the lights dropped in the arena. Moné blocked an attack from Skye Blue and almost took out Julia Hart before they left the ring to get chairs. Willow and Stat made the save.

The first match of the night saw Kingston defend the Continental Championship against Okada. This was not for all three of Kingston's titles, so he only carried the one belt.

They were a bit slow engaging but once The Mad King got upset, he unloaded on The Rainmaker. This match was more about building a story than packing in as many spots as possible, so they were selling every big move for a long time.

It almost felt like Kingston was trying to prove he was as good as Okada by using a few moves he doesn't utilize regularly. They told a great story and put on a solid match that left room for them to improve in future encounters.

After delivering a Rainmaker, Okada scored the pin to win the Continental Championship.

Result: Kazuchika Okada defeated Eddie Kingston

Grade: B+

Notable Moments and Observations

• The CEO chants during Moné's entrance sounded piped in, but the chants once she got in the ring were real. 
• The misunderstanding between Moné and Willow seemed a bit contrived. 
• Okada was using a lot of good, classic heel tactics, but the crowd rarely booed any of it because he's still too popular after his recent debut. 
• The way Okada sold Kingston's first big chop was great. His chest was beet-red after several more. 

Chris Jericho vs. Hook

Following a win in a recent tag match, Jericho decided to test himself against Hook. As soon as they locked up, Hook hit a high-angle suplex that kept Jericho down for a long time.

Once Lionheart was back on his feet, The Coldhearted Handsome Devil unleashed a flurry of strikes to beat him down.

Jericho kept trying to make a comeback, but Hook kept dumping him on his head to put a stop to it. The young man wasn't able to win with Red Rum, but he did get a pinfall to earn the victory. Except for a couple of rough moments, this was a decent performance.

Result: Hook defeated Jericho

Grade: C+

Notable Moments and Observations

• Jericho has not been coming out to Judas lately. It's been a nice change of pace.
• The first suplex Hook hit looked really good. Jericho landed perfectly. 
• Jericho tried to throw Hook and he almost landed on top of his head. Hook ended up hitting face on the mat trying to save it. 

Toni Storm and Mariah May vs. Deonna Purrazzo and Thunder Rosa

Will Ospreay gave a brief interview with Schiavone before May and Storm took on Purrazzo and Rosa.

The match started with all four women brawling in and out of the ring, but they eventually started observing tags and cycling in and out.

This bout had a steady pace and lots of action, but there were moments when selling a big spot should have taken a second or two longer.

La Mera Mera was able to steal a win for her team with a jackknife cover, but Purrazzo did not look happy about it. This match was fine but it felt like it was missing something that could have made it memorable.

Result: Purrazzo and Rosa defeated May and Storm

Grade: C+

Notable Moments and Observations

• Rosa once again had amazing face paint.
• May did a good job hitting Storm's signature headbutt. 

The Butcher vs. Swerve Strickland

Swerve Strickland issued an open challenge that was answered by The Butcher, but it didn't seem to phase him to see such a big opponent.

Strickland nailed him with a headbutt and beat him down, but the powerhouse didn't go down without a fight. However, it only took Strickland a few minutes to defeat him by submission.

Result: Swerve defeated The Butcher

Grade: C

Notable Moments and Observations

• Swerve's smile when he saw Butcher was a nice touch. It made him look a bit unhinged. 
• Samoa Joe and Swerve had a confrontation after the match. 

Christian Cage vs. Adam Copeland

Two Canadian legends met in the main event for an I Quit match for the TNT Championships when Copeland and Cage squared off.

The crowd was hot before the bell even rang. Everyone knew this would not just be a standard singles bout, and the competitors did not disappoint.

It took them less than two minutes to bring the fight into the crowd. They eventually made it back to the ringside area and began incorporating other things like ladders and various weapons. Blood was spilled, tables were broken and bodies were bruised. To see two guys who debuted in the '90s still able to go this hard was a lot of fun.

They only had the referee asking if they quit sparingly, so it never felt like the match gimmick was being overplayed. Shayna Wayne used a hockey stick to hit a low blow and give Cage the upper hand.

Nick Wayne and Killswitch interfered to prevent Copeland from winning, but Daniel Garcia and Daddy Magic came to help handcuff them to the ring. Cope retrieved Spike from under the ring. Cage finally quit to avoid being maimed.

Result: Copeland defeated Cage to win the TNT title

Grade: B+

Notable Moments and Observations

• Hearing the crowd keep singing Copeland's music was a cool moment. 
• The hockey fight was awesome. 
• The forward suplex into the ladder struts looked so painful for Cage. 
• No man would refuse to give up after repeated low blows. 

Best Friends vs. Callis Family

Cassidy and Beretta took on Powerhouse Hobbs and Kyle Fletcher in tag team action. This was the first bout as part of the Rampage part of the show.

Hobbs almost won immediately with a huge spinebuster. It took a desperate save from Beretta to break it up.

The Don Callis Family had a significant size and power advantage over Best Friends and made sure to use it at every turn.

This was a high-energy match with a lot of great spots. OC picked up the win with an Orange Punch to Fletcher.

Result: Best Friends defeated The Don Callis Family

Grade: B

Notable Moments and Observations

• We got a few non-wrestling segments to give the crew time to clean up the ring after Cage vs. Copeland. 
• It was nice not having to hear Callis on commentary. 
• Beretta had a great dive from the top turnbuckle to the floor. 
• Fletcher was bleeding from the mouth toward the end. 

Katsuyori Shibata Squash, Konosuke Takeshita vs. Rocky Romero

A local talent named Kevin Matthews stepped into the ring with Katsuyori Shibata and immediately regretted his decision. Shibata scored a very fast win and immediately left.

Result: Shibata won

Grade: Incomplete

The Don Callis Family was represented again on Wednesday when Takeshita faced Romero in a singles match to keep the Family vs. Best Friends feud going.

Even with a break in the middle, they didn't have much time to work. They packed a lot into the minutes they had to make this feel competitive, but five more minutes would have made this one of the best bouts of the week.

Takeshita earned a victory with a textbook falcon arrow.

Result: Takeshita defeated Romero

Grade: B-

Notable Moments and Observations

• Matthews had a nice clothesline. 
• Why would Romero put his face against Takeshitas's chest? It looked weird and made no sense. It didn't have the same effect of two men going face to face. 
• It sure was nice of Callis to stay off commentary for two matches in a row. 

Kris Statlander and Willow Nightingale vs. Skye Blue and Julia Hart

The Rampage main event was a Street Fight with Willow and Stat taking on Blue and Hart.

They didn't have a lot of time to work, so they tried to get right to the action. Tables, chairs and a metal spike were all used before we hit the five-minute mark.

We ended up getting an oddly placed commercial break toward the end of the hour, but since TBS allowed the show to go into overtime, it wasn't as jarring as it could have been.

Thanks to almost 5 minutes of overtime, this ended up being a fun Street Fight with some memorable moments. Having Hart get the submission win felt like the right call.

Result: Hart and Blue defeated Willow and Stat

Grade: B-

Notable Moments and Observations

• This match got started with roughly seven minutes left in the show.
• Stat picking up and slamming Julia with a chair wrapped around her was a cool spot. 
• Blue was busted open when Hart hit her with a spike. 
• Stat taking a powerbomb onto a pile of tacks was a wild moment. 

The Final Word

This week's Dynamite was supersized thanks to the addition of Rampage, so we got a rare three-hour block of AEW programming on one night.

The shows were filled with a mix of matches and non-wrestling segments. Most of what we got was housekeeping to keep the various storylines moving forward.

However, two big title matches occurred and both saw new champions emerge. Not only did Okada defeat Kingston for the Continental Championship, but we also saw Copeland win the TNT title from Cage.

Cage and Copeland easily stole the show, but both title bouts are worth watching. All in all, this was a fine way to spend a Wednesday night.

Grade: B
