AEW Dynamite is on a day earlier than usual, but tonight is Title Tuesday and on this special edition, the women of AEW are looking to compete for some high-stakes opportunities to capture the gold.
The TBS and NJPW Strong Womens Champion, Mercedes Mon, is set to defend both her titles against an opposing Emi Sakura. Renee Paquette has a chance to talk with Mon before the match and reminds everyone that theres a price to pay and that she knows a thing or two about Queens.
To kickoff, womens action on this Title Tuesday, a Four-Way match is set between Jamie Hayter, Nyla Rose, Saraya, and Willow Nightingale to determine the Number One Contender for Mariah Mays AEW Womens World Championship at WrestleDream this Saturday. Speaking of the champion, she is on the commentary desk to overlook her future competition.
Saraya decides to sit out during the beginning of this match while the rest go at it. Harley Cameron and Saraya decide to hit when the moment strikes right, but Rose decides to put them all out with a crossbody to the outside.
The tables have been laid out, and all four competitors are doing the same to each other. Hayter manages to look strong and takes out both Rose and Nightingale, as well as getting in some chair shots to Saraya.
Penelope Ford, who has been out with injury, decides to take out Hayter with a chair of her own and lead her to the back. With just three left in the ring, Cameron takes out Rose to the outside and attempts to set up a table. Unfortunately, those efforts are not on their side, as Nightingale sends Saraya crashing through the table and picks up the win.
Our new Number One Contender decides to confront May but unfortunately meets a hard headbutt by the champion as she stands tall with the title in her hands.
Paquette looks to have a word with an angry May, but in comes Nightingale to tackle her across the set and deliver a message to the champ.
Next, The CEO along with her hired muscle, Kamille, make their way to the ring and Sakura arrives after a long absence from AEW. The undefeated CEO and the more so experienced Sakura exchange some chops. Mon catches Sakura in the corner and takes her out with a Meteora on the outside.
Mon has a hold of Sakura for a while but soon meets a giant chop. Mon goes for a backstabber in the corner, but Sakuras ring awareness saves her. Sakura uses Mon to take out Kamille on the outside and sees an opening to crossbody them both on the barricade.
Sakura hangs up Mon in the ring and sends her back breaking but Mon tries on to the ring apron as a last resort. Kamille trips up Sakura and this allows Mon to lock in the Statement Maker to leave Title Tuesday still double champion.
Post-match, the Mon Corporation attempt to take out Sakura for good. But, Kris Statlander appears to make the save.
What did you think of AEW Dynamite on this special Title Tuesday? Does Nightingale have the momentum to take the title away from May? Can Statlander prove her worth against The CEO? Let us know in the comments below!
