Ricky ‘The Dragon’ Steamboat announced as special guest for AEW Dynamite

Bryan Danielson vs. Jeff Jarrett on the next AEW Dynamite will have a special guest.

Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat will appear as a special guest at ringside during the Danielson vs. Jarrett bout set for the Wednesday, August 7 AEW Dynamite.

The addition of Steamboat was announced during Friday’s AEW Rampage episode.

Steamboat last appeared for AEW at Revolution as the guest timekeeper for Sting’s retirement match on March 3 in Greensboro.

Danielson is set to challenge Swerve Strickland for the AEW World title at All In at Wembley Stadium later this month. Jarrett has been part of the build to that title bout as he has served as a motivator to Danielson.

Already announced for Dynamite are Katsuyori Shibata in action against The Learning Tree’s Bryan Keith, plus an MJF vs. Kyle Fletcher American title eliminator bout.
