AEW Announces Rampage’s Broadcast Team, Title Match For Debut Show
AEW Rampage is set to debut next Friday, August 13, and their broadcast team has been revealed.
Rampage will be called by Taz, Excalibur, Mark Henry, and Chris Jericho. It's unclear if all four men will be in the booth at once, or if they will rotate throughout the broadcast. Excalibur does has done play-by-play for AEW since the promotion launched in 2019, while Taz and Jericho have made sporadic appearance in the booth before. This will be Mark Henry's first regular role with the promotion.
The debut edition of Rampage will be headlined by Britt Baker and Red Velvet, as DMD puts her AEW Women's Title on the line in her home town of Pittsburgh, PA. Red Velvet confronted Baker on Dynamite tonight, making her case for a title shot. Baker obliged, but not before attacking her future opponent.
