It is time for Rampage! It is an exciting time for AEW as they debut their new one-hour primetime show. They have loaded up the debut card with three huge title matches. It should be a great way to debut the newest show! Let us find out more about this exciting night in Pittsburgh in the first-ever AEW Rampage preview for 8/13/21.
_______________
Miro (c) vs. Fuego Del Sol
(AEW TNT Championship)
Poor Fuego Del Sol. He has been a fan favorite with his entertaining matches on AEW Dark and Dark: Elevation. Del Sol hasn’t had a lot of victories on those shows, but the luchador has won fans over in recent months. He doesn’t have an official AEW contract but could win one with a victory on the debut AEW Rampage. But the odds are not in his favor on Friday night.
Miro will be Fuego’s opponent on Friday. Miro has been on a roll since winning the TNT Championship in May. He is calling himself “The Redeemer” and God’s Champion. It seems Fuego Del Sol’s dream of an AEW contract will face some really tough odds in Pittsburgh.
AEW Rampage for 8/13/21
Kenny Omega (c) vs. Christian Cage
(IMPACT World Championship)
On Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite, it was announced Christian Cage would get an AEW World Championship match against Kenny Omega at AEW All Out. A lot of fans were hoping for Hangman Page to get that shot, but you cannot deny the 47-year-old Cage has been impressive since his AEW debut in March. He has earned a shot against Kenny Omega. It is doubtful fans expected Cage to get two World title shots, however, in the next four weeks.
In the very first ever match on AEW Rampage, Cage will get a shot at the Impact World Championship. Cage has a lot of success in Impact Wrestling but has never won the Impact World Championship. Can he take one of the World titles off of Kenny Omega? It will be fun to watch him try. Hopefully, he will have some help as he tries to overcome the Elite on Friday night.
AEW Rampage for 8/13/21
Britt Baker (c) vs. Red Velvet
(AEW Women’s World Championship)
Britt Baker received a huge ovation as she returned to her hometown of Pittsburgh on this week’s AEW Dynamite. She is just coming off a wrist injury but wanted to defend her title in front of her hometown fans. Our favorite dentist will be getting a huge test on AEW Rampage against Red Velvet.
Red Velvet has been very impressive in recent months. She is on a nine-match winning streak. But those matches were all on AEW Dark and Dark: Elevation. So will Red Velvet be ready for a motivated Britt Baker? Will, the Doctor, be ready for a huge main event and her big home field advantage on Friday night? It will be a fun way to end the first episode of AEW Rampage.
