Jade Cargill vs. Kris Statlander TBS title match set for AEW Rampage
Less than a week after making her surprise return on AEW Collision, Jade Cargill will challenge TBS Champion Kris Statlander in a rematch on this Friday’s AEW Rampage.
It will be Cargill’s first match since May’s Double or Nothing when she lost the title to the returning Statlander minutes after defending it against Taya Valkyrie. It was Cargill’s first career defeat.
Statlander, the second TBS titleholder in company history, will be looking for the tenth defense of the championship.
In an eight-man tag team match, The Lucha Brothers will team with the Hardys against Jeff Jarrett, Jay Lethal and The Butcher & The Blade.
AEW Trios Champions The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn will be in non-title action against opponents to be named while The Kingdom will take on Christopher Daniels & Matt Sydal.
Here’s the lineup being taped after Wednesday’s Dynamite in Cincinnati, Ohio:
- TBS Champion Kris Statlander defends against Jade Cargill
- AEW Trios Champions The Acclaimed (Max Caster and Anthony Bowens) & Billy Gunn vs. TBD in non-title action
- The Kingdom (Matt Taven & Mike Bennett) vs. Christopher Daniels & Matt Sydal
- Lucha Brothers (Penta El Zero Miedo & Rey Fenix) and Matt & Jeff Hardy vs. Jeff Jarrett, Jay Lethal, The Butcher & The Blade
