New match added to the Road Rager lineup.
Will Ospreay made his AEW debut on the 6/10 episode of Rampage during which he and Aussie Open (Kyle Fletcher & Mark Davis) fell in defeat to Trent and FTR (Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler).
Ospreay is returning to AEW this week for their Road Rager special in St. Louis as he goes one-on-one with ROH World Tag Team Champion Dax Harwood.
Initially, Road Rager was going to feature Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus defending the AEW World Tag Titles in a three-way ladder match involving The Hardys (Matt & Jeff Hardy) and The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson). Advertising for the match was halted when news became public that Jeff was arrested for a DUI.
It has since been announced that a tag title bout is taking place and it will be Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus defending against The Young Bucks in a Ladder match.
