With AEW having last night taped this coming Friday's episode of Rampage, one match in particular is getting huge praise from those in attendance at Miami's James Knight Center.

There'll be no spoilers here on the result, but one match fans will get to see take place on Friday is PAC vs. Andrade El Idolo.

As per Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, not only is this bout receiving major praise, it's being talked about as being as good (or possibly even better) than the Rampage barnburner put on by Bryan Danielson and Nick Jackson earlier this month.

More people just raving about Andrade vs. Pac that was taped tonight. Some say better than Danielson vs. Nick others say second best Rampage bout in history behind Danielson vs. Nick

Of course, PAC and Andrade El Idolo had previously met on the 11 September edition of Rampage. There, with assistance from Chavo Guerrero Jr., Andrade emerged victorious. While that match was good, it sounds like the pair's now-taped rematch is going to deliver something special.

As mentioned, there'll be no spoilers where it pertains to results for next week's Rampage, but the rest of the show will also see Britt Baker vs. Anna Jay, and Orange Cassidy vs. Powerhouse Hobbs in the first round of the AEW World Title Eliminator Tournament.
