ROH World Title Match Set For 8/26 AEW Rampage, Trios Tournament Bout Also Announced

Dustin Rhodes wants the ROH World Championship, and he’ll get a shot at the gold.

Ring of Honor World Champion Claudio Castagnoli kicked off the August 19 edition of AEW Rampage to issue an open challenge his next opponent, which was answered by Dustin Rhodes rather quickly. Rhodes shared about his aspirations of holding a world championship, noting that it was something Castagnoli hadn’t accomplished until recently. With their differences set aside, the two shook hands and agreed to battle.

Dustin Rhodes has never competed in a Ring of Honor match, so this will mark a career first. Rhodes vs. Castagnoli will headline the August 26 episode of AEW Rampage in Cleveland. WrestleZone will have complete coverage of the show as it airs.

Plus, the House of Black will battle the Dark Order in a quarter-final match in the AEW World Trios Championship tournament. The winner will face Orange Cassidy and the Best Friends, who won their match against The Trustbusters on Friday night.

The card is as follows:

  • ROH World Championship: Claudio Castagnoli (c) vs. Dustin Rhodes
  • AEW World Trios Championship Quarterfinal: Dark Order vs. House of Black (Malakai Black, Brody King, and Buddy Matthews)
