Former WWE star Erick Rowan made his AEW Rampage debut now known as Erick Redbeard.
This was Redbeard’s first appearance in AEW since the Brodie Lee tribute show at the end of 2020. He appeared on Rampage as the replacement for the injured Rey Fenix and he joined Penta Oscuro, PAC, and Alex Abrahantes during a segment opposite of the House of Black.
A six-man match was later announced for the AEW Revolution buy-in show.
