AEW Rampage will bring another stacked edition on the TBS Network, this Friday night, and the card was announced following last night’s Dynamite. After some speculations, it was officially announced that the ROH World Champion Jonathon Gresham will indeed be appearing on the show which also marks his debut on AEW TV.
Over on AEW Rampage, the champion will team up with Lee Moriarty to take on The Gates of Agony with Tully Blanchard. The two sides have been involved in a rivalry ever since the ROH SuperCard of Honor this past April. Reports claim that Brian Cage will challenge Gresham for the ROH Championship at Death Before Dishonor later this month.

Coming back to AEW Rampage, it has also been announced that the upcoming episode will see Orange Cassidy vs. Tony Nese. Over on Dynamite, Nese and “Smart” Mark Sterling were attempting to get enough signatures on a petition to remove Swerve Strickland from the AEW roster.
They encouraged Orange Cassidy to sign the document since Swerve was the one to eliminate Cassidy in a recent battle royal, but then members of Best Friends denied to put their sign on Nese and Sterling’s petition. After this incident, Cassidy vs. Nese was announced for this Friday.
AEW Rampage will also witness the undefeated team of ROH Women’s Champion Mercedes Martinez and Serena Deeb performing on the show in a tag team match against undisclosed opponents. A singles match between Eddie Kingston and Konosuke Takeshita has also been confirmed.
