AEW finished out 2023 with a few women’s division developments on Dynamite.
First, Renee Paquette interviewed Mariah May in front of the live Orlando crowd. May announced she will make her in-ring debut next week as she didn’t think 2023 had enough glamour, while 2024 will be all about her.
Riho then marched out and chased May down to the ring before AEW Women’s World Champion Toni Storm followed suit with her title in hand. Riho and Storm scrapped briefly until Luther pulled Storm out. Riho then jumped off the top to knock them down with a crossbody to send a message before AEW Worlds End this Saturday.
Later on, Kris Statlander battled Skye Blue with Stokely Hathaway on commentary. They stayed evenly matched early on until Statlander landed a stalling vertical suplex. Blue maintained the advantage going into and throughout the commercial.
After, Skye hit Code Blue for a two-count, while Statlander tries to finish it with a powerbomb. Blue distracted the referee, which allowed for Julia Hart to attack. Blue then hit an avalanche Code Blue for the win.
Willow Nightingale ran down to check on Statlander while Abadon also made an appearance to taunt Hart ahead of their title match on Saturday.
Ruby Soho vs. Marina Shafir has been announced for Friday’s Rampage as Saraya has recruited Harley Cameron to try and intervene in the Soho-Angelo Parker romance.
As a reminder, here’s the current card for Worlds End:
- AEW Women’s World Championship: Toni Storm (c) vs. Riho
- AEW TBS Championship: Julia Hart (c) vs. Abadon
