AEW consistently shows respect for wrestling legends who paved the way for today’s stars, particularly in the tag team division. One iconic team that has always been honored by AEW is The Rock ‘n’ Roll Express and it seems the legendary duo will make their return to the company next year.
AEW’s official Twitter account took to the social media platform and announced that the legendary Rock ‘n’ Roll Express, featuring Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson, are set to make their highly anticipated return to the company. The iconic tag team will grace AEW Collision on Saturday, January 4, in Charlotte, NC, at The Bojangles Coliseum and AEW Dynamite on Wednesday, January 22, in Knoxville, TN, at the Knoxville Civic Coliseum.
“The legendary Rock N’ Roll Express ( @RealRickyMorton @RockNRollXpress ) return to Charlotte, NC for #AEWCollision on Saturday, Jan. 4 at @TheBOplex , and Knoxville, TN for #AEWDynamite at @theKCAC on Wednesday, Jan. 22!”
The Rock ‘n’ Roll Express debuted in AEW in 2019, bringing their legacy as ambassadors of wrestling’s rich history to the promotion. Over the years, they’ve been part of several memorable angles, notably involving The Young Bucks and FTR.
Charlotte is a historic wrestling hub and so it promises to deliver nostalgia for fans who remember the duo’s iconic matches and so is Knoxville, so it’s clear fans will have a solid time seeing the two legends back on AEW television again. While AEW has yet to confirm their specific role during these appearances, it’s clear that the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express will make an impact during their return no matter what.
