Interim Women’s title match added to AEW Dynamite

An AEW Interim Women’s World Championship match is set to take place on Dynamite this week.

AEW has announced that Toni Storm will defend her Interim Women’s World Championship against Serena Deeb on Dynamite this Wednesday night. Tony Khan stated that the reason Deeb is getting the title shot is because she pinned Storm in a tag team match on Dynamite two weeks ago.

Deeb & Britt Baker defeated Storm & Athena in that tag team match.

On Dynamite Grand Slam last Wednesday, Storm retained her title by defeating Athena, Baker, and Deeb in a four-way match. Baker, Deeb, and Jamie Hayter attacked Storm and Athena after the match until being chased away by the debuting Saraya.

Storm became AEW Interim Women’s World Champion at All Out earlier this month. The interim title was created because AEW Women’s World Champion Thunder Rosa is out of action with a back injury.

The Liacouras Center in Philadelphia is hosting Dynamite this Wednesday. The updated lineup for the episode is listed below:

  • AEW World title eliminator match: AEW World Champion Jon Moxley vs. Juice Robinson
  • ROH World Champion Chris Jericho defends against Bandido
  • AEW Interim Women’s Champion Toni Storm defends against Serena Deeb
  • Saraya speaks
  • MJF speaks
  • Chris Jericho championship celebration

Toni Storm wins interim Women’s World title at AEW All Out

Toni Storm is the new interim AEW Women’s World Champion. 

Storm defeated Britt Baker, Hikaru Shida, and Jamie Hayter in a four-way at Sunday’s All Out pay-per-view, claiming her first title in AEW. 

Storm pinned Hayter in the contest, leaving open the possibility of future interim title matches against Shida and Baker. Baker and Storm have split their two singles meetings in AEW 1-1.

The four-way to crown a new champion was announced following a back injury suffered by current AEW Women’s World Champion Thunder Rosa. The original match for All Out was announced as Rosa defending against Storm in a singles bout.

Storm made her AEW debut in March of this year after quitting WWE last December. In June at the Forbidden Door pay-per-view, Rosa successfully defended the AEW Women’s World title against Storm. The two have since frequently tagged as ThunderStorm.

Rosa announced that she would be unable to defend her title in a promo on Dynamite on August 24. She will be out of action for an unspecified length of time with the injury, reportedly “a few months.”
