Next week, AEW Dynamite and AEW Rampage will take place at Arthur Ashe Stadium in Long Island for a second Grand Slam event. Following this week's episode of Rampage, several matches have been added to the Grand Slam card. First and foremost, Chris Jericho issued a challenge on Rampage to Claudio Castagnoli for Castagnoli's ROH Championship, and that match will take place on next week's Dynamite. Additionally, following Darby Allin's victory over Matt Hardy, Brody King challenged Sting and Darby Allin to a match against King and Buddy Matthews, which will air on Rampage next week. Also, Diamante will be Jade Cargill's next challenger for the TBS Championship in a match that will air on next week's Rampage (and Cargill announced she's parted ways with Stokely Hathaway). And after Samoa Joe successfully defended the ROH TV Championship against Josh Woods on Rampage, he and Wardlow will team up against Woods and Tony Nese on Rampage next week. See highlights from Rampage below, which also saw Penelope Ford beat Willow Nightingale and Ethan Page squash Danhausen.
