Due to medical protocol, tonight’s card for AEW Rampage has changed as Rocky Romero and Matt Jackson are no longer scheduled to compete.
This morning during “Tony Time” on Busted Open Radio on SiriusXM, All Elite Wrestling President and owner Tony Khan revealed that due to medical protocol, the advertised match between The Young Bucks and Roppongi Vice has been canceled. Instead, it will now be a singles match that will see Nick Jackson take on Trent Barretta. Khan did state that he hopes that they will be able to reschedule this tag team match for a later date.
Beyond that, Khan did not reveal any additional information regarding the medical status of Matt Jackson or Rocky Romero.
Following Busted Open this morning, Rocky Romero took to social media to reveal he’s the one who has tested positive for COVID-19. Luckily for Romero, he’s vaxed and boosted and said he’s only feeling very mild symptoms:
“Sorry everyone… Gonna have push back the RPG Vice reunion. COVID got me. Currently I’m feeling very mild symptoms. I’m vaxed and boosted so should kick right out of this!!” Rocky Romero tweeted.
