The previous Royal Rampage took place last July. Darby Allin won the match, earning a TNT title shot for All Out by last eliminating Swerve Strickland. He was ultimately unsuccessful in September, as Luchasaurus (Killswitch) retained the title. 

Royal Rampage will take place after Wednesday’s edition of AEW Dynamite, which will feature the annual Blood & Guts match. This year’s bout will have The Young Bucks, Kazuchika Okada, and Hangman Page take on Swerve Strickland, The Acclaimed, Darby Allin, and Mark Briscoe.
