Nick Jackson vs. Trent Beretta set for AEW Rampage, Rocky Romero gets COVID-19
The reunion of Roppongi Vice will have to wait a while longer as Rocky Romero has tested positive for COVID-19 and will not be on Friday’s live edition of AEW Rampage.
Romero (see above) was set to team with former teammate Trent Beretta against The Young Bucks in Washington, DC, rekindling a rivalry that really took flight in the rings of New Japan Pro Wrestling.
In its place will be Beretta vs. Nick Jackson of the Young Bucks, first announced by Tony Khan on Busted Open Radio Friday.
Sorry everyone… Gonna have push back the RPG Vice reunion. COVID got me. Currently I’m feeling very mild symptoms. I’m vaxed and boosted so should kick right out of this!!

During the aforementioned interview, Khan said “there’s a good chance there’s going to be a small change to the match” due to medical protocols before announcing the new singles encounter.
Khan also said that Jon Moxley vs. Ethan Page will kick off the show and that TBS Champion Jade Cargill vs. Anna Jay will be the main event. Hook is also scheduled for action against Serpentico in the former’s first-ever live match.
