This week’s AEW Dynamite featured a thrilling women’s match as Jamie Hayter defended her AEW World Women’s Championship against Riho. It marked their third singles match in AEW, and they held nothing back.
Clashing a half hour into the show, Hayter and Riho shook hands before Hayter attempted a Hayterade out the gate. When the action spilled out of the ring, Riho was slammed onto the apron before the break.
Riho came back with a flying crossbody from the top followed by a snap German suplex. Hayter attempted to keep Riho grounded, but the challenger countered with a devastating running knees for a nearfall. Riho dodged Hayterade but then turned around into it connecting for another nearfall. Hayter pulled her up and sent her back down with another Hayterade to seal the deal in a bout that ran over 12 minutes.
Afterward, Renee Paquette interviewed The Outcasts backstage. Ruby Soho said they’re here to regain control of the women’s division, and that will happen by one of them becoming champion. Saraya said they’ll figure out who that is at some point, while Toni Storm added that all that matters is Hayter gets dethroned.
AEW will present live episodes of Rampage and Battle of the Belts this Friday. On Rampage, Anna Jay will go one-on-one with Julia Hart, plus Jade Cargill sits down with Taya Valkyrie. Later on Battle of the Belts, Cargill will defend her TBS Championship against Billie Starkz for the first time.
