Jon Moxley will face Ethan Page on Rampage this Friday. This will be the former's first match since his nearly three-month long hiatus from action.

On Wednesday, Moxley made a highly-anticipated return to AEW programming as he opened the show with a passionate promo. He addressed his demons and laid down the marker for anyone who wanted to step up to him.

Later in the show, American Top Team's Dan Lambert and Men of the Year appeared in a backstage promo. Ethan Page stated that while the rest of the locker room scattered at the sight of Mox, he wasn't afraid of him.

Ethan Page further claimed that he vs. Jon Moxley would be a box office showdown and asked Tony Khan to grant him the match. Shortly after, the bout was confirmed for AEW Rampage on Friday.

This will be Moxley's first match in All Elite Wrestling since he fought Dark Order's Pres10 Vance in the AEW World Title Eliminator Tournament first round. He won the match in just over two minutes and was scheduled to face Orange Cassidy in the semifinals but pulled out for personal reasons. Miro took up his spot and faced Bryan Danielson in a losing effort in the final at Full Gear.


Besides Jon Moxley vs. Ethan Page, what else is announced for AEW Rampage?

In total, four matches were announced for this Friday's Rampage.

TBS Champion Jade Cargill will have her first title defense against Dark Order's Anna Jay. John Silver laid out the challenge during Dynamite, with Mark Sterling accepting it on the champion's behalf.

The Young Bucks will return to action as they take on familiar foes in the form of Roppongi Vice (Trent Beretta and Rocky Romero). The final match announced for Friday will see Hook compete once again, this time against Serpentico.
