The Righteous are coming to AEW.
On the August 18 episode of AEW Rampage, The Righteous (Vincent, Dutch, and Stu Grayson) appeared in a vignette. The commentary team noted that they had set their sights on AEW. In the clip, Dutch stated that everyone has the power to hurt, but most people are afraid to use it. He said that those who are not afraid control life itself. Vincent emphasized that everything they do is new, and he dared anyone to do something about it. He then warned that people should get out of their way otherwise.
