Women’s title match, Jericho vs. Starks added to AEW Revolution

Posted on by Ethan Renner

A triple threat match for the Women’s World title, plus a grudge match between Chris Jericho and Ricky Starks have been added to AEW Revolution. 

In a match announced during Wednesday’s Dynamite, Jamie Hayter will defend her AEW Women’s World Championship against Saraya, and Ruby Soho in a triple threat bout at Revolution on Sunday, March 5. 

Soho’s allegiances have been the focal point of an AEW storyline pitting Saraya and Toni Storm as outsiders against Hayter and Britt Baker as homegrown AEW talent. Soho has yet to declare a side in the story. 

Also added to the Revolution lineup, Chris Jericho will face Ricky Starks in a bout where “everyone” will be banned from ringside. 

Starks defeated Jericho in their lone singles meeting on Dynamite last month, but Jericho subsequently scored a victory against Starks and Action Andretti in a tag bout. Starks has since been feuding with members of Jericho’s Jericho Appreciation Society. 

The updated Revolution card: 

AEW Revolution, Sunday, March 5 —

  • 60-minute iron man match for the AEW World Championship: MJF (c) vs. Bryan Danielson
  • AEW Women’s World Championship: Jamie Hayter (c) vs. Ruby Soho vs. Saraya
  • TNT Championship: Samoa Joe (c) vs. Wardlow
  • AEW World Tag Team Championship: The Gunns (c) vs. The Acclaimed vs. Jeff Jarrett & Jay Lethal vs. TBD
  • Chris Jericho vs. Ricky Starks — everyone banned from ringside
  • Texas Death match: Jon Moxley vs. Hangman Page

Jamie Hayter wins interim Women’s World Championship at AEW Full Gear

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Jamie Hayter is the new interim AEW Women’s World Champion.

Hayter defeated Toni Storm at Saturday’s Full Gear event in Newark, New Jersey. The finish of the match had both Rebel and Britt Baker interfere, with Baker attempting to unfasten a turnbuckle in the corner. Storm sent Hayter into Baker. However, Storm ended up being sent into the exposed turnbuckle, allowing Hayter to hit the Hayt-breaker for the win.

This ends Storm’s run as interim champion. She won the championship on September 4, defeating Baker, Hayter, and Hikaru Shida in a four-way. The linear champion, Thunder Rosa, is currently out of action with a back injury.

After losing the interim championship match at Full Gear, Hayter continued the feud with Storm, with Storm telling the story that she and Hayter had lived in the same house during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, Hayter started to ignore her once she arrived in AEW, with Storm saying that that Hayter had changed.

Tony Khan says he’s wanted to give Thunder Rosa ‘every opportunity’ to defend AEW Women’s title

Posted on by Ian Carey

Tony Khan has addressed the AEW interim Women’s World Championship situation. 

The AEW President appeared on Barstool Rasslin and spoke about possibly removing the interim tag from Toni Storm’s title reign. 

“The champion, Thunder Rosa, has been out injured so we’ll see. I’ve wanted to give Thunder Rosa every opportunity to come back and defend the championship,” Khan said. “She’s been out a while, so we’ll have to see. It’s a difficult choice but I do think the interim champion’s been out there and the interim champion is Toni Storm, who is one of the biggest free agent signings we’ve ever had.” 

“Toni Storm comes in and she’s gone out every week and had great matches almost every week on TV,” Khan continued. 

Khan would also talk about the match between Storm and Jamie Hayter at AEW Full Gear on Saturday. 

“You have this huge free agent, this big star Toni Storm, who came in with a great reputation and a lot of TV experience and millions of people knew who she was when she arrived vs. Jamie Hayter, who’s really risen to worldwide prominence on AEW television.”

“They’ve both become really key figures in AEW and it’s going to be great to have this match, the interim Women’s World Championship but certainly whoever wins it will truly be a world champion.” 

Rosa addressed her injury status last month during an appearance on Busted Open Radio. She noted that she is hoping to return in January.

“I am still hurt. They haven’t given me a time yet when I’m coming back. I’m saying it’s January and I hope it is January. And again, if Toni Storm disagrees with what was decided in the back, that is not my problem,” she said. “When I get better, I will still be the champion if my boss lets me be the champion. If he doesn’t, I will be okay with that decision too, because I don’t make the rules and that needs to be said.”

During an interview with The Ringer released on Thursday, Storm addressed her thoughts on the title situation.

“Personally, I think she should just come to work and defend her championship like she’s supposed to, like a champion should,” Storm said. “But if the injury lingers too long, I believe she should probably be stripped. And then I should be the AEW undisputed Women’s World Champion like I was supposed to be at All Out. That’s verbatim. I think she should defend her title. I think all champions should defend that championship. That doesn’t just go for Thunder Rosa. That goes for everybody.”

Posted on by Bryan Rose

A match for the AEW Women’s World Championship has been added to Double or Nothing.

It was announced that champion Thunder Rosa will be defending the title against Serena Deeb later this month in Las Vegas. The challenge was laid out tonight following a confrontation between the champion and the new challenger.

She said she considered herself on another level, in a class all of her own. She told Rosa at Double or Nothing, she would be taking the title.

Deeb became the top ranked AEW women’s wrestler after defeating Hikaru Shida in a street fight on last week’s Dynamite.

Here is the current lineup for Double or Nothing, which takes place May 29 in Las Vegas:

  • Hangman Adam Page vs. CM Punk for the AEW World Championship

Posted on by Ethan Renner

The first match is set for AEW’s Battle of the Belts special airing on April 16.

In a bout announced during this week’s Dynamite, Thunder Rosa will defend the AEW Women’s World Championship against Nyla Rose. 

Rosa won the AEW Women’s title in a steel cage match against Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. at the St. Patrick’s Day Slam edition of Dynamite on March 16. The following week, Rose attacked Rosa on the stage as Rosa was being interviewed to set up the feud. 

Battle of the Belts will be taped the night before it airs as part of a live Rampage taping on Friday, April 15 at the Curtis Cullwell Center in Garland, Texas. 

Rosa vs. Rose is the only match announced for Battle of the Belts to this point. On the first edition of the special in January, three matches aired, including a Sammy Guevara vs. Dustin Rhodes interim TNT title match, a Ricky Starks vs. Matt Sydal FTW title match, and a Baker vs. Riho Women’s title bout.

March 16 proclaimed ‘Thunder Rosa Day’ in Bexar County, Texas

Posted on by Ian Carey

March 16 is now “Thunder Rosa Day” in Bexar County, Texas. 

Rosa defeated Britt Baker inside a steel cage to win the AEW Women’s World Championship on the March 16 edition of AEW Dynamite last month. The show took place in Rosa’s adopted hometown of San Antonio, Texas. 

Rosa revealed on Tuesday that Bexar County, Texas has now proclaimed March 16 to be “Thunder Rosa Day” in commemoration of her title win. 

Rosa’s Mission Pro Wrestling promotion will also be running a charity event to benefit The Salvation Army San Antonio on April 16. The show is titled “Living on the Edge” and funds raised will go specifically to after-school programs in the city’s Southside. 

“That’s one of the parts of the city that needs the most help because of the socioeconomics that exist there,” Rosa said to KENS 5 News. “After school programs are so key for a lot of these kids because this is like a safe haven for them.”

Thunder Rosa wins AEW Women’s World Championship on Dynamite

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Thunder Rosa is the new AEW Women’s champion.

In the main event of tonight’s Dynamite, Rosa defeated Baker in a cage match after a fire thunder driver into thumbtacks. Weapons were used frequently throughout the match, with Baker at one point falling into a pile of chairs off the top rope. The finish had Baker going for her lockjaw submission, but Rosa bit Baker’s hand. Rosa slammed Baker’s hand into the tacks, dropped Baker with a powerbomb, then planted her with the fire thunder driver to win the championship for the first time.

This ends Baker’s run as AEW Women’s Champion after 291 days, defeating Hikaru Shida on May 30, 2021 at Double or Nothing.

Baker and Rosa’s best known match is their Lights Out match that took place on the March 17, 2021 edition of Dynamite, which Rosa won. The two rekindled their rivalry in the weeks leading up to AEW Revolution on March 6 of this year. At Revolution, Baker was able to retain the championship thanks to help from Rebel and Jamie Hayter, who were not seen during tonight’s cage match.

Dr. Britt Baker vs. Riho title match set for AEW Battle of the Belts

Posted on by Ethan Renner

The first title match for AEW Battle of the Belts has been announced. 

Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. will defend the AEW Women’s World Championship against Riho on the Saturday, January 8 show. The match was made official during tonight’s AEW Rampage. 

Riho defeated Baker in a non-title match on the November 26 Rampage, with the stipulation being that if she won, she would earn a future title match. Riho won the bout with a surprise cradle. 

The loss to Riho was Baker’s first singles loss since AEW Dynamite St. Patrick’s Day Slam, taped on March 11, 2021, where she lost an unsanctioned Lights Out match to Thunder Rosa. Prior to that, Baker’s last singles defeat in a sanctioned match came to Nyla Rose on the February 24, 2021 Dynamite, taped on February 18.

Battle of the Belts will air as a quarterly special on TNT. The January 8 show will take place at the Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte, North Carolina. 

AEW to unveil Women’s title at All Out

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Though details on how and when the first champion will be crowned have yet to be announced, AEW has set the date for when their Women’s title belt will be unveiled.

On this week’s Road to Fyter Fest episode, Brandi Rhodes announced that the AEW Women’s World Championship will be unveiled at All Out on Saturday, August 31. The show is taking place at the Sears Centre Arena in Hoffman Estates, Illinois.

The first AEW World Champion will be decided as Chris Jericho faces Hangman Page at All Out. Bret Hart made an appearance at Double or Nothing last month and unveiled that title.

AEW has also confirmed that they’ll be holding a tournament to determine their inaugural Tag Team Champions. Best Friends (Trent Barreta & Chuck Taylor) vs. SoCal Uncensored (Scorpio Sky & Frankie Kazarian) vs. Private Party (Isiah Kassidy & Marq Quen) has been announced for Fyter Fest in Daytona Beach, Florida on June 29. The winning team will advance to All Out, where they’ll have a chance to earn a first-round bye in the Tag Team title tournament.

Tony Khan appeared on the latest edition of the Steve Austin Show and said the Tag Team title tournament will be “one of the main focuses” of AEW television when it starts this fall. Khan said AEW will eventually introduce Women’s Tag Team titles as well.

This week’s episode of the Road to Fyter Fest is available to watch below:
