CM Punk set for action on two-hour AEW Rampage Grand Slam

CM Punk will have his first television match in over seven years on next week’s two-hour AEW Rampage Grand Slam. 

Punk will take on Powerhouse Hobbs. The match was announced during this week’s Dynamite and was set up when Hobbs and Hook from Team Taz attacked Punk at the commentary table. 

Punk’s last match on TV was on the January 20, 2014 WWE Raw, where he defeated Billy Gunn. 

A total of three matches were announced for the special two-hour edition of Rampage. 

In a trios match, The Young Bucks and Adam Cole will team against Christian Cage, Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus. 

Also announced, Chris Jericho and Jake Hager of the Inner Circle will tag against Men of the Year’s Scorpio Sky and Ethan Page. Jericho answered the American Top Team open challenge on this week’s Dynamite to set up the bout. 

Next week’s Rampage will be taped next Wednesday night at Arthur Ashe Stadium in Flushing, New York. The crowd is expected to be the largest in the promotion’s history at over 18,000.
