Wardlow vs. Matt Taven TNT title match set for AEW Rampage

Two weeks after making his AEW on-screen debut, Matt Taven will not only have his first match on this Friday’s Rampage but will also have a chance to win a title as he faces TNT Champion Wardlow.

The Kingdom (Taven, Mike Bennett & Maria Kanellis-Bennett) made their surprise debuts on Rampage in Toronto two weeks ago, setting ROH Tag Team Champions FTR in their sights. Wardlow and Samoa Joe helped make the save and now have the new roster additions in their sights.

Wardlow will be looking for the sixth defense of the title and the last since he defeated Brian Cage on the October 5th Dynamite.

After picking up a win over Chris Jericho & Daniel Garcia on Wednesday’s Dynamite, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta will look to keep the good times (and wins) rolling as they face two more Jericho Appreciation Society members in Matt Menard & Angelo Parker.

Tay Melo will take on Madison Rayne as well.

Here’s the current lineup for this Friday’s live show from Connecticut’s Mohegan Sun Arena:

  • TNT Champion Wardlow defends against Matt Taven
  • Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta vs. Matt Menard & Angelo Parker
  • Tay Melo vs. Madison Rayne
