AEW is set to have their next pay-per-view event and its annual installment of Revolution on March 3. There’s two women’s matches on the card with one being on the pre-show.
Willow Nightingale & Kris Statlander vs. TBS Champion Julia Hart & Skye Blue – Zero Hour Preshow
Toni Storm (c) vs. Deonna Purrazzo – AEW Women’s World Title
Below, you will find the predictions of these matches from us here at Diva Dirt.
NICK: Outside of Toni vs. Deonna it is clear that zero thought was put in for other women when it comes to this event. Not surprising but still upsetting.
Anyway, this match is fine for what it is but nothing is overly exciting about it. I guess if they are going to continue with Willow or Kris around the TBS Title they would pick up the win here, but honestly the champion should be winning this match so I am going to go with that.
WINNERS: Julia Hart and Skye Blue
COLBY: Thank god they added a second women’s match somewhere on this card as there were more than enough options with as many storylines that are ongoing. I was also hoping for something with Saraya/Ruby, but it seems that one is still simmering. Nevertheless, we’ve got Kris and Willow teaming up again as they appear to be re-entering the TBS title picture. They’ve won more tag matches together than they have lost, so it feels like the odds are good that they will keep that momentum going and get a win back after Skye beat Kris on Dynamite. I’m going with the babyfaces here whether it’s for more story development from Stokely or to get Kris a shot at Julia, or both.
WINNERS: Kris Statlander & Willow Nightingale
NICK: I will give credit where it is due, this has been nicely built. The thing is, will it payoff? We see time and time again where AEW brings in a well known talent and they have a title match and then off to either ROH or shuffled so far away from the title scene it is odd. So this time, I feel Deonna NEEDS to stay on top and needs to win this.
WINNER: Deonna Purrazzo
COLBY: I honestly can say this is the most excited I have been for an AEW Women’s World title match in some time. I’ve enjoyed Toni Storm’s “Timeless” character work, but one complaint I’ve heard regularly is the belief that the gimmick doesn’t need the title. I can agree, but I will also give props to AEW for actually crafting an enticing story here between Toni and Deonna by using their real-life history and turning it up for their opposite characters. With that said, I fully welcome a title change. Deonna has proven her worth in AEW in a short time, not to mention the incredible run she had in IMPACT over the last few years. With Mercedes on the way, I say it’s time to shake things up.
WINNER: Deonna Purrazzo
