The Kingdom Debuts On AEW Rampage
The group confronted FTR
Maria Kanellis, Mike Bennett, and Matt Taven of The Kingdom debuted on Friday's AEW Rampage in Toronto, where they confronted ROH World Tag Team champions FTR.
FTR and Shawn Spears had just defeated Brian Cage and Gates of Agony in a trios bout when Kanellis, Bennett, and Taven came out on the stage.
Kanellis introduced herself as the First Lady of Professional Wrestling, and said that while FTR call themselves top guys, they've never faced The Kingdom. She added that Bennett and Taven were coming for both the ROH and IWGP Tag Team titles.
The Kingdom then joined Cage and Gates of Agony in an attack on FTR and Spears, before Samoa Joe and Wardlow ultimately made the save.
The Kingdom trio parted ways with Impact Wrestling alongside Vincent last week. The group teamed with Eddie Edwards, Kenny King, and PCO to comprise Honor No More, a collection of ex-ROH talents.
Together, Bennett and Taven have reigned twice as ROH World Tag Team champions, and once as IWGP Tag Team champions.
