Battle royale for Tag Team title shot set for AEW Rampage
While FTR will defend the AEW Tag Team titles against Adam Cole & MJF on Saturday’s edition of Collision, the next challenger will be determined on Friday’s AEW Rampage.
Announced on Wednesday’s Dynamite, eight teams (16 men) will compete in a tag team battle royale with the winner earning a future Tag Team title shot.
The teams are Matt & Jeff Hardy, Matt Menard & Angelo Parker, The Butcher & The Blade, Brian Cage & Big Bill, Christopher Daniels & Matt Sydal, Serpentico & Luther, Ethan Page & Brother Zay, and Jay Lethal & Satnam Singh.
While they won’t be in the match, The Kingdom (Matt Taven & Mike Bennett) will be in action against opponents to be named.
A long rivalry will be renewed as former AEW Women’s Champions Hikaru Shida and Nyla Rose will clash. Shida defeated Rose in a no DQ match at 2020’s Double or Nothing to kick off her first title reign.
After returning to action recently on Collision after a lengthy absence, Scorpio Sky will take on Kip Sabian. It’s Sky’s first match on the show since June 2022.
