Friday's AEW Rampage from Minneapolis, Minnesota, will feature four matches and three promos.

For the first time on AEW TV, the AAA Mixed Tag Team titles will be defended as champions Sammy Guevara & Tay Conti defend against recent rivals Dante Martin & Skye Blue.

This is Guevara & Conti's first title defense and first match since their recent marriage.

Bryan Danielson will be on hand to cut an in-ring promo for the first time since his loss to Daniel Garcia. 

Ahead of their clash in the inaugural Trios titles tournament, Orange Cassidy of Best Friends will take on Ari Daivari of the Trustbusters. The new unit will also send Parker Boudreaux into action against AEW mainstay Sonny Kiss tonight.

Best Friends associate Danhausen will team with the returning Erick Redbeard (Bearhausen) to face Gunn Club in the latter's first outing since losing a dumpster match to The Acclaimed on Dynamite.

In addition to the Danielson promo, fans will hear from AEW Tag Team Champions Keith Lee & Swerve Strickland in addition to FTW Champion Hook.

Schiavone, in the ring, asked Danielson about Daniel Garcia calling himself the "Dragon Slayer." Danielson said he might not ever be 100% again, but nothing makes him feel more alive than being in this ring, and he will never stop wrestling.

Garcia interrupted and said Danielson is his hero, but it sounds like his hero is coming up with excuses. The thought of his hero retiring hurts Garcia, and in turn, that makes him want to hurt Danielson. He's going to end Danielson's career, and he'll be forced to call him the best technical sports entertainer on the planet.

Danielson said that he can't stand that "sports entertainment bullsh*t." He saw Garcia wrestle on the indies, so he asks Garcia: "Do you want to be the best technical sports entertainer in the world, or the best technical wrestler?"

A video package recapped CM Punk's return on Dynamite.

AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championships: Sammy Guevara & Tay Melo (c) defeated Dante Martin & Skye Blue

The two pairings went right at each other at the bell. When things settled down, Tay protected Sammy from an attack by Dante, leading to the two women tagging in. Skye came in with a diving crossbody and the two traded slaps before Tay tied her up. Skye fought out and returned fire with kicks, but Sammy tripped her up, allowing Tay's team to take control ahead of the commercial. 

Once back, Skye reached Dante for the hot tag. A series of dropkicks allowed Dante to land a suicide dive on Sammy. Tay grabbed Dante's boot again, but then Dante launched off Tay's back to hit a destroyer for two. 

The two women took out the two men before Tay hit the Tay-KO for the win. 

The Lucha Bros and Alex Abrahantes cut a video promo. Penta said they weren't done with Andrade El Ídolo and Rush, but in the meantime, Death Triangle will become the first AEW World Trios Champions. Their match with United Empire's Will Ospreay & Aussie Open was announced for the August 24 episode of Dynamite.

Parker Boudreaux (w/ Slim J) defeated Sonny Kiss

Boudreaux immediately flattened Sonny with a lariat and a tackle. Sonny fired up but was immediately cut off with a big back suplex for the squash win.

La Facción Ingobernable was backstage with Private Party. Andrade said they would win the AEW World Trios Championships, and Kassidy got in his face. Excalibur on commentary said Private Party was going for the tag titles, but you wouldn't have gotten that just from watching the segment.

Beardhausen (Danhausen & Erick Redbeard) vs. The Gunn Club (Austin Gunn & Colten Gunn) (w/ Billy Gunn)

Redbeard shrugged off attacks from both Gunn Club members. He tagged in Danhausen, who went for a curse, but was cut off by Colten.
