The September 6 episode of AEW Dynamite featured Emi Sakura vs. Kris Statlander for the TBS Championship in the second match of the night.
Sakura brought the aggression out of the gate with a crossbody in the ropes that knocked Statlander out of the ring. Sakura then followed it with another crossbody into the steel stairs.
Back in the ring, they traded chops before Sakura connected with a stalling backbreaker onto her knee for a nearfall. Sakura went up top, but Statlander chased after and placed her on her shoulders for a face plant. The TBS Champ then nailed a discus lariat and followed it with her signature piledriver to retain.
Renee Paquette had another amusing backstage interview with Toni Storm. It was revealed that Storm, Britt Baker, Nyla Rose, and Hikaru Shida will take part in a four-way bout to determine who will challenge AEW Women’s World Champion Saraya at Dynamite: Grand Slam on September 20.
We also know that Saraya and Ruby Soho are set to speak on this Saturday’s Collision.
