Lee & Rhodes vs. Strickland & Boudreaux set for AEW Rampage
In a tag team grudge match, Keith Lee & Dustin Rhodes will take on Swerve Strickland & Parker Boudreaux on Friday’s AEW Rampage.
The live show from San Francisco’s Cow Palace will be the go-home for Sunday’s Revolution pay-per-view.
After Strickland, Boudreaux and Trench took Lee out via Strickland stomping a cinder block into his chest in a late-December attack, the former AEW Tag Team Champion returned to defend Rhodes from a two-on-one attack by Strickland and Boudreaux on Rampage last month.
Lee and Rhodes, aka Naturally Limitless, had some words for Strickland and Boudreaux on Wednesday’s Dynamite:

This will be Lee’s first in-ring action since he and Strickland defeated Shane Taylor Promotions at ROH Final Battle last December. In that match, Strickland walked out on Lee, setting up the aforementioned cinder block attack as part of a segment with rapper Rick Ross. In that attack, Boudreaux and Trench aligned themselves with Strickland and his new Mogul Affiliates faction.
It was the only match or segment announced for Friday’s show.
