It’s another live version of AEW Rampage, the best possible kind. And if you’re going to do a live show on a Friday night, you might want to bring a title match to the party.
So that’s exactly what the fans at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT are getting. Mr. Mayhem himself, Wardlow, is set to put his TNT Championship on the line, and hey, it’s even on TNT this time.
The challenger, Matt Taven, is fairly new to AEW, having only recently arrived with the rest of The Kingdom. But Wardlow isn’t likely to cut him any slack for that, as he’ll look to treat Taven to a front row seat to the Powerbomb Symphony.
AEW World Champion Jon Moxley is also in action against “Daddy Magic” Matt Menard, though that should be light work for Mox. But this is a legit card, so let’s see how it all plays out.

- Wardlow def. Matt Taven by pinfall to retain the AEW TNT Championship
- The Kingdom attacks Wardlow after the bell, but Samoa Joe comes to the rescue … only to be attacked in turn by Powerhouse Hobbs and The Embassy
