We’re just 11 days away from All In, but tonight on AEW Dynamite the women have some stops they have to get through first well along the way to Wembley Stadium.
The show opens with “The CEO” Mercedes Moné as she defends her TBS Championship tonight against former AEW Women’s World Champion Hikaru Shida. Shida had issued a challenge this past Collision, after touting that she needs some real competition.
Shida immediately starts off with her striking Joshi style, which Moné has some experience wrestling against. Both women have a stalemate in the early goings of the match. Moné has trouble getting offense in on Shida, but with the help of Kamille manages to get the advantage of Shida with her patented Meteoras.
Kamille tries to get involved again but Shida is tired of it and stops these shenanigans with her kendo stick. Moné takes the kendo stick away from Shida for Kamille to boot Shida right in the face. The Moné Maker hits the spot and “The CEO” retains her title.
Before the Moné Corporation can celebrate the win, “The DMD’s” music hits and Kamille targets a fan who is dressed in a disguise similar to that of Britt Baker’s a few weeks ago. However, this time Baker arrives from the crowd in her true fashion and confronts Moné in the ring. Baker gut checks Moné and attempts to lock in the lockjaw. Unfortunately for Baker, Kamille saves Moné from this unwanted Doctor’s visit.
Next, Mariah May previews her new film as she is set to face the AEW Women’s World Champion “Timeless” Toni Storm at All In.
Backstage, Stardom’s Mina Shirakawa is back in AEW and Renee Paquette asks her what she thinks of the situation between Storm and May. Shirakawa had left Forbidden Door on good terms with both of them however hasn’t made contact with either of the two recently. She’s heartbroken about the feud and hopes that no one gets seriously hurt.
What did you think about tonight’s AEW Dynamite? Can “The DMD” lock in the Lockjaw at All In? Who does Shirakawa truly side in all this? Sound off in the comments below!
