Mistico will make his AEW debut on this week’s episode of Rampage, and the taping reportedly got a boost in ticket sales following the official announcement.
Dave Meltzer reports that following last week’s announcement that Mistico would be wrestling Rocky Romero on Friday’s show (which was taped after Dynamite), AEW sold “well over” 2,100 tickets.
