Ricochet’s run in AEW hasn’t turned out the way he wanted. The former Intercontinental Champion came back with some fanfare, but it wouldn’t take long for the fans to turn on AEW’s latest acquisition. But the straw that broke the camel’s back was Swerve Strickland embarrassing Ricochet at World’s End.

Something snapped within the former WWE star and he tried to murder put the former AEW World Champion on the injured list for good. Now, these two will finally get the opportunity to fight one another. This isn’t going to be a five-star classic. This is going to be a bloody fight between two men who hate each other. 

For Ricochet, he wants to prove to Swerve and the fans why he’s one of the best in the world. And there’s a sick pleasure in him to hurt Strickland. For the former AEW World Champion, this personal rivalry has re-awakened the demon in him.

At Grand Slam, Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay are scheduled to take on Konosuke Takeshita and Kyle Fletcher. In preparation for that match, the Don Callis Family team will be working against former AEW Tag Team Champions Brody King and Buddy Matthews. Matthews and King have been making the slow transition away from the House of Black moniker and want to prove that they’re the best tag team in the world. Fletcher and Takeshita just want to show Kenny and Will who they’ll be dealing with on Saturday February 15th. Will The Don Callis Family make quick work of the Hounds of hell?

Also, MJF is scheduled to appear. The former AEW World Champion has been quite busy feuding with Jeff Jarrett, who was screwed out of a world title opportunity last week by Jon Moxley and The Death Riders. But MJF has teased a feud with Adam “Hangman” Page, who is scheduled to appear as well. What will the AEW star say when he’s given a chance to talk on the mic?

All this and more is confirmed for tonight’s episode of AEW in Atlanta, Georgia at Gateway Center Arena. Check out the advertised matches below:

• Swerve Strickland vs. Ricochet
• Konosuke Takeshita and Kyle Fletcher vs. Brody King and Buddy Matthews
• Toni Storm vs. Queen Aminata
• Will Ospreay vs. a member of the Don Callis Family
