As Revolution approaches, AEW makes its way to New Orleans for the latest episode of Rampage. While Friday night’s action may not influence the upcoming pay-per-view landscape, some wrestlers still have something to prove ahead of the March event.
On the path to defending their AEW Tag Team Championship against Darby Allin and Sting, Ricky Starks and Big Bill will face The Dark Order in an Eliminator match, aiming to make a statement ahead of the impending title clash. A win also gives Alex Reynolds and John Silver an inside look at a championship match against the incumbents.
Along with a potential highlight reel of a match between Top Flight and Private Party, Rampage promises a packed night of action to begin February.
