Cope vs. PAC announced for next AEW Dynamite
The feud between Rated FTR and the Death Riders will continue on next Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite as Cope takes on PAC.
It will be their first time sharing the ring in their long careers.
The former TNT Champion made his return at last month’s Worlds End by putting his focus on AEW World Champion Jon Moxley, PAC, Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta. After Moxley retained his title over Powerhouse Hobbs Wednesday, the Death Riders attacked Hobbs before Cope and FTR ran out to make the save.
The 51-year-old defeated Big Bill last Saturday in his first singles match since breaking his tibia in a May 2024 barbed wire cage match with Malakai Black.
PAC, a former AEW All-Atlantic/International Champion, has won two out of his last three singles bouts. He holds the AEW Trios titles with Castagnoli and Yuta.
Here’s the current lineup for next Wednesday in Knoxville, Tennessee:
