In the women’s division, TBS Champion Jade Cargill and Red Velvet will attempt to get on the same page when they face Kiera Hogan and Skye Blue. This comes after Velvet prevented Cargill from slapping Hogan on Rampage, though the champion still defeated Kiera to retain the gold. After the match, Velvet left without The Baddies.
Plus, Bryan Danielson will face Tony Nese for the first time ever. On Rampage, Nese issued the challenge to take on Danielson in his hometown of Seattle. Additionally, AEW World Champion MJF will appear, and fans will hear a medical update on Hangman Page.
After Rampage, Swerve Strickland challenged AR Fox, a man he feuded with in Lucha Underground, to a match on Wednesday.
TONIGHT, after his win in the main event of #AEWRampage: #NewYearsSmash, @swerveconfident said he has some unfinished business to settle THIS WEDNESDAY, in his hometown Seattle on #AEWDynamite, with someone from his past: @ARealFoxx!
