Posted on by Bryan Rose

Bryan Danielson vs. Trent Beretta, Wheeler Yuta vs. Jon Moxley and two other matches have been announced for Friday’s AEW Rampage.

Other matches include Willow Nightingale vs. Red Velvet in a Owen Hart Foundation women’s tournament qualifier and Swerve Strickland vs. QT Marshall.

On tonight’s episode of AEW Dynamite, the Blackpool Combat Club were interviewed about their upcoming Rampage matches. William Regal said that Yuta had impressed Danielson, but now he would need to impress Moxley. In a later interview, Chuck Taylor told Yuta that he still wanted Yuta in Best Friends. Beretta wasn’t into the idea, said he would defeat Danielson on Friday.

After an interview on tonight’s show, Swerve Strickland was attacked backstage by Ricky Starks and Powerhouse Hobbs. Keith Lee got involved, with the segment ending after Lee sent Hobbs through a wall with the pounce.

Willow Nightingale most recently appeared at ROH Supercard of Honor last week, losing to Mercedes Martinez in a match that was for the interim ROH Women’s Championship.
