It will be a specialty episode of the program titled &#8220;The First Dance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The United Center can seat over 20,000 fans and is a step up in size relative to other buildings the company has run in the market. After the announcement, Darby Allin was interviewed backstage and said he would be in Chicago for the event. He said that there was only one place to prove you\u2019re the best, and that\u2019s in AEW. Allin emphasized \u201cEven if you think you\u2019re the Best in the World,&#8221; as part of his interview, drawing a reaction from the audience thanks to the parallels of that phrase to Chicago&#8217;s own, CM Punk.<\/p>\n<p>AEW Rampage is the company&#8217;s second flagship show. It will premiere on August 13 on TNT.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH-UP:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2021\/07\/28\/hiroshi-tanahashi-set-to-challenge-for-the-iwgp-us-championship-appears-via-video-on-dynamite\/\">Hiroshi Tanahashi set to challenge for the IWGP US Championship, appears via video on Dynamite<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-2625235090\"><div id=\"pwtor-4020845897\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>AEW is kicking off the Rampage era with a massive show in Chicago.
