Speaking on the latest episode of his 83 Weeks podcast, Eric Bischoff discussed numerous topics, including the hype surrounding the debut of the Rampage show. The former WCW president called it an unusual time for WWE to release its top-tier talents while the world is buzzing over CM Punk and Daniel Bryan possibly jumping over to AEW.

Eric Bischoff added that Tony Khan’s promotion has momentum by their side:

After showing the back door to Bray Wyatt, WWE released their most loyal employee Ric Flair. The string of releases continued a few days ago as management let go of as many as 13 ‘NXT’ and ‘205 live’ superstars.

With their current trend, WWE may release many more talents moving forward. It is widely assumed that wrestlers working there are now fearing their job securities.

Only one match has been announced so far for the AEW Rampage episode

AEW is eyeing to make their debut episode of Rampage with bated breath for anyone watching. So far, only one match has been added to the match card on Friday. Dr. Britt Baker will have her second AEW Women’s title defense against Red Velvet.

The company could unveil their entire match card in the upcoming episode of AEW Dynamite.
