Lee Moriarty vs. Matt Sydal set for next AEW Rampage

In what is billed as a student vs. teacher match, Lee Moriarty will take on Matt Sydal on next Friday’s Fight for the Fallen edition of AEW Rampage.

During Friday’s Rampage, Moriarty was taking on Sydal charge Dante Martin in singles action. After a competitive match, Moriarty grabbed the middle rope on a roll-up to help him get the pin, raising the ire of Sydal.

After the match ended, Sydal challenged Moriarty to a match next Friday as Moriarty was being courted by manager Stokely Hathaway.

The 27-year-old Moriarty teamed with Sydal frequently in late-2021 and early-2022 with Martin joining them in occasional trios matches. 

The 39-year-old Sydal enters the match on a three-match winning streak. He was last seen in action teaming with Martin in a mid-June Dark: Elevation match against QT Marshall.

That’s the only match to be announced for next Friday’s show which will be taped after Wednesday’s Dynamite debut in Worcester, Massachusetts.
