An even higher profile match for Lethal is just days away. He will be part of the main event of Ric Flair's Last Match event coming up on Sunday. Lethal will team with Jeff Jarrett to take on Flair and Andrade El Idolo.

For Dutt, this is his first match since 2017, when he lost to Jonathan Gresham at a NOVA Pro Wrestling show in Virginia. During the weeks leading up to the match, Dutt had also been working regularly for Impact Wrestling, where he's a former X-Division Champion.

Tonight's "Rampage" will also see a teacher vs. student showdown between Matt Sydal and Lee Moriarty. Sydal took Moriarty under his wing months ago. However, Sydal became frustrated after seeing Moriarty use the ropes to steal a pinfall win over Dante Martin and then listen to overtures from Stokely Hathaway during last Friday's "Rampage".
