One of the big matches booked for the live episode of Rampage tonight (Jan. 21) was a throwback to the New Japan rivalry between The Young Bucks and Roppongi Vice’s Trent Beretta & Rocky Romero. They had a video package on their history and everything!
Unfortunately, that match is now on hold. Rocky Romero has tested positive for COVID.
Sorry everyone… Gonna have push back the RPG Vice reunion. COVID got me. Currently I’m feeling very mild symptoms. I’m vaxed and boosted so should kick right out of this!!

This is the second AEW tag match this week affected by “medical protocols”; an FTR/Brock Anderson & Lee Johnson bout was pulled from Wednesday’s Dynamite due to an undisclosed issue experienced by Anderson or Johnson.
Tony Khan announced that instead of planned tag, we’ll see a Nick Jackson/Trent Beretta singles match instead.
Due to medical protocol @azucarRoc is out for tonight’s #AEWRampage. #AEW GM @TonyKhan announced on @BustedOpenRadio, Nick Jackson of @youngbucks w/ his brother Matt will face @trentylocks w/ @OrangeCassidy 1-on-1! #AEWRampage is LIVE 10/9c on TNT TONIGHT! https://t.co/UN1cNj1kQq pic.twitter.com/hmvk2MXkQW
