Tonight’s AEW Dynamite is the go-home show as the company breaks down the Forbidden Door this Sunday.
But before Dynamite can kick off tonight, Kris Statlander and Stokeley Hathaway have issued a challenge to former partner Willow Nightingale this Sunday at Forbidden Door.
In Women’s action, tonight we have a Trios Tag Team Match as the team of the freshly formed Outcasts go off to face “Timeless” Toni Storm, Mariah May, and Mina Shirakawa. The Outcasts ruined the contract signing for the AEW Women’s World Championship last week, and look to settle this grudge before Forbidden Door.
Both teams make their entrances, and we also see a familiar entrance, shades of Club Venus.
Shirakawa and Harley Cameron start the match off, and with a quick tag out to May look strong off the bat reminiscent of their Stardom days. However, May has trouble choosing who to tag out and unfortunately gets isolated for her troubles.
May manages to get even with Cameron and tags in Storm for the hot tag. But, Shirakawa forces the tag in and all chaos ensues. Shirakawa finally finds an opening to hit her finish and gains the win going into Forbidden Door.
Post-match, May wants to celebrate the win with her team with some champagne. But, Shirakawa has other plans and wants to knockout Storm with the champagne bottle. Sadly, Shirakawa misses her mark and hits May knocking her out. Shirakawa and Storm are both heated at each other, as they watch their helpless partner unconscious. The two go off to face each other at Forbidden Door for the AEW Women’s World Championship, now with blood in their eyes.
Next, we hear from TBS Champion Mercedes Moné as she defends and challenges NJPW Strong Women’s Champion in a title-for-title match at Forbidden Door this Sunday. After Moné’s altercation with Vaquer at CMLL this past weekend, both competitors are not willing to back down.
Vaquer is scheduled to face off against Lady Frost this Saturday on Collision, and Moné says she’ll watch the match closely ringside.
