Katsuyori Shibata is set to face Orange Cassidy on Friday's Rampage.
After Orange Cassidy was successfully able to defend his AEW All-Atlantic Title against Luchasaurus and Rey Fenix on the November 2 edition of Dynamite, PAC quickly made his presence known and attacked Cassidy. The attack didn't last for long though, as Katsuyori Shibata stormed down to the ring to run off PAC from causing further damage.
In tow with Shibata was Rocky Romero, Chuck Taylor, and Trent Beretta. After Cassidy recovered from the attack, he offered his open contract for a match on the November 4 edition of Rampage to Shibata, who quickly accepted.
