During the latest edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, AEW President Tony Khan commented on Dr. Britt Baker taking on Red Velvet during this week’s debut episode of AEW Rampage, what fans can expect for next week’s AEW Rampage broadcast from the United Center in Chicago, Illinois, and more. You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Dr. Britt Baker vs. Red Velvet: “I think it’s going to be a great match, it’s going to be a great environment. And on Rampage Friday, to have that big Women’s World Title match with Dr. Britt Baker against Red Velvet, and Britt Baker having this big hometown advantage in Pittsburgh? I think it’s going to be so much fun. And you’re going to hear from both of them tonight. I’m very excited about that. That’s one of the reasons why I wanted to make sure if I give Danny and his guys from UFC some time, I just want to make sure they’re not stepping on important stuff. And in this case, Dr. Britt Baker and Red Velvet, they’ve got to have some time to talk themselves ahead of this big match. So we’ll hear from them tonight.”
On people’s expectations for the second episode of AEW Rampage: “Furthermore, we’ll hear a little bit more about what’s coming on Rampage. It’s going to be a huge card, and tonight we’ll establish more of what’s coming on the premiere of Rampage. Of course, I think everyone knows what to expect on the second episode of Rampage, which is titled ‘The First Dance.’ And I expect the anticipation will continue to build.”
On Britt Baker vs. Thunder Rosa: “When the time is right that will be another great match to look forward to. But Britt’s got her hands full. There’s a lot of great challengers and in this case, I think she’s facing one of her toughest tests yet in Red Velvet.”
