LEGENDARY BOXER MIKE TYSON RETURNS TO AEW
THIS FRIDAY ON AEW: RAMPAGE

— AEW: Rampage Airs Live from Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City,
Where Tyson First Fought in 1987 —

Nov. 2, 2022 – Ahead of this Friday’s action-packed “AEW: Rampage,” AEW announced that
boxing legend Mike Tyson will serve as a special guest commentator on the show, which will air
live on TNT from Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, NJ. No stranger to AEW, Friday’s
appearance marks Tyson’s fifth for the red-hot promotion, having first appeared at AEW’s
DOUBLE OR NOTHING pay-per-view in 2020.

Since then, Tyson has served as both friend and foe to Chris Jericho in AEW. On the May 27,
2020, episode of “AEW: Dynamite,” Tyson, alongside MMA superstars Henry Cejudo, Rashad
Evans and Vitor Belfort, confronted Jericho and the Inner Circle, clashing at the end of the show.
Tyson returned less than a year later, aiding Jericho and the Inner Circle in their feud against MJF
and The Pinnacle. Tyson also served as the special guest enforcer during a match between
Jericho and Dax Harwood, delivering a one-punch knockout to Cash Wheeler in the process.

Tyson has made history numerous times in Atlantic City at Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall, holding
victories over Tyrell Biggs, Larry Holmes, Michael Spinks, Carl Williams and Alex Stewart at the
iconic venue. Now, 25 years after first stepping foot in Boardwalk Hall, Tyson’s latest
appearance leaves potential for another history-making moment.

“We love having Mike Tyson on our shows and now fans will get a chance to see a different side
of Mike in AEW as he steps into our commentary booth for the first time alongside the
incredible team of Jim Ross, Excalibur and Tony Schiavone,” said Tony Khan, CEO, GM and Head
of Creative of AEW. “I’m excited for everyone in Atlantic City, and for those watching on TNT
and around the world, to see what Mike has in store for us. AEW is firing on all cylinders right
now and adding Iron Mike to the mix elevates everyone’s game even further.”

“It’s always good to return to Atlantic City,” said Mike Tyson. “I grew up as a wrestling fan so to
be a special guest commentator for AEW this Friday is an honor. You never know what to
expect when I’m a special guest so tune in.”

Also announced for Friday’s “AEW: Rampage” is the All-Atlantic City Dream Match, where the
winner of tonight’s three-way matchup for the AEW All Atlantic Championship between Orange
Cassidy (c), Luchasaurus and Rey Fénix will get to face the challenger of their choosing. Tune
into “AEW: Dynamite” on TBS tonight at 8 p.m. ET to catch the action leading into Friday’s
“AEW: Rampage” on TNT.

Tickets for Friday’s show in Atlantic City at Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall start at $20 (plus fees)
and are on sale now at AEWTIX.com.
