The June 7 episode of AEW Dynamite saw Kris Statlander defend her TBS Championship against Anna Jay.
Jay had Matt Menard at ringside with her, which didn’t hinder Statlander at first. But going into the commercial break, Jay was able to send the champ into the turnbuckle face-first to turn the pace around.
Statlander seemed to be on the comeback after the break, but Menard distracted her on the top rope. This allowed Jay to face-plant her on the mat for a nearfall. It wasn’t enough, though, as Statlander managed to drop Jay with the piledriver to retain for a second week in a row. Meanwhile, a frustrated Taya Valkyrie was shown watching the match backstage again.
Looking ahead, Toni Storm will return to action on next week’s Dynamite to defend the AEW Women’s World title against the winner of a four-way match that will take place on Friday’s Rampage. That four-way will feature Britt Baker, Skye Blue, Mercedes Martinez, and Nyla Rose.
