The Elite to defend Trios titles on AEW Rampage

The Elite will defend the AEW Trios titles for the first time on Friday’s Rampage.

Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks will put the titles on the line against The Firm’s Ethan Page, Matt Hardy & Isiah Kassidy following a backstage segment of sorts on Wednesday’s Dynamite:

This will be The Elite’s first defense, and first match, since besting Death Triangle in the finale of their best-of-seven series on January 11th.

The show will also see Shane Strickland in action against Brian Pillman Jr. Strickland will be looking for his fifth straight singles win while Pillman Jr. will attempt to snap a three-match win streak.

Ahead of his match next Wednesday against Bryan Danielson, Rush will take on Christopher Daniels for the first time ever in a battle of former ROH Champions.

The newly-turned heel tag team of Saraya & Toni Storm will be in action against opponents to be named. The two attacked Britt Baker backstage on Wednesday.

Here’s the current lineup that is being taped after Wednesday’s Dynamite in Dayton, Ohio:

  • AEW Trios Champions The Elite defend against The Firm
  • Shane Strickland vs. Brian Pillman Jr.
  • Rush vs. Christopher Daniels
  • Saraya & Toni Storm vs. TBA
