AEW Dynamite is in New York City tonight for Grand Slam, and the women of AEW are looking to defend some gold and take their grudges to new avenues.
The AEW Women’s World Champion, Mariah May, is set to defend her title against Yuka Sakazaki. Sakazaki has been back on the AEW scene recently and has caused some ruckus especially for “The Glamorous” champion. May has yet to have her championship celebration but looks to maintain the gold in the city that never sleeps.
Before May can even get to the ring Sakazaki takes a leap of faith and takes her out before the opening bell. Sakazaki is in control for a moment, that is until May hits her with a hard dropkick ringside.
Both competitors come with immense Joshi prowess and start nailing each other with stiff moves and some near falls. Sakazaki takes May for a ride of pinfalls and attempts to go for her Magical Knee, but the fun is cut short as May hits the Storm Zero for the win.
Post-match, May wants to take out Sakazaki for good. But, Willow Nightingale comes in to make the save for her friend. Nightingale eyes out May’s World Championship for a moment, but here comes Mina Shirakawa.
Shirakawa arrives, but this inadvertently allows May to knock out Nightingale from behind. May rushes to hug Shirakawa and celebrate, but her Rose Gold tag team partner looks conflicted with the situation at hand.
What did you think about tonight’s Grand Slam edition of Dynamite? Where do all these four women go from here? Will Shirakawa do what’s right? Let us know in the comments below!
