Sammy Guevara will be going head-to-head with veteran Jeff Hardy for the first time ever. However, it won't be just any ordinary encounter as they will be squaring off in a No Disqualification match. This will be Guevara's first singles match since defeating Ricky Starks at the "AEW Dynamite" Homecoming special on January 10.
During the January 26 edition of "Rampage", Anna Jay defeated Ruby Soho after the two found themselves in a verbal exchange. Tonight, Jay looks to score another win as she collides with Queen Aminata.
The Bang Bang Scissor Gang will be competing in their first match since joining forces with one another to become an united front as they face Jay Lethal, Jeff Jarrett, Satnam Singh and Dark Order's Alex Reynolds, John Silver, and Evil Uno in a huge twelve man tag team match.
The Von Erichs haven't competed in an AEW ring since emerging victorious in a trios match on the December 15 edition of "Rampage", while Dustin Rhodes' last match came on January 17 in which he was unsuccessful in dethroning Christian Cage as TNT Championship. Tonight, all three men will be joining forces with one another to compete in a bout.
Additionally, "Cool Hand Ang" Angelo Parker looks to have a conversation with the aforementioned Soho about their romance.
