The women’s tag match for Wednesday’s Dynamite has been changed.
AEW on social media wrote that Shida isn’t cleared by doctors due to an attack that took place on AEW Dark, which aired on Tuesday. Athena will replace Shida in the match for this Wednesday, teaming with Toni Storm to take on Serena Deeb and Britt Baker.
“After an apparent attack on @shidahikaru tonight on #AEWDark, Shida isn’t cleared by the docs to compete, so #AEW Interim Women’s World Champion #ToniStorm will team w/ @AthenaPalmer_FG vs @realbrittbaker & @SerenaDeeb on #AEWDynamite LIVE @ 8pm ET/7pm CT on @TBSNetwork TOMORROW!,” AEW’s Twitter wrote.
AEW aired an angle on Dark where Rebel was seen walking out of Hikaru Shida’s dressing room. Baker then emerged with a kendo stick and told interviewer Alex Marvez that if she couldn’t get the tag team partner of her choice, then Toni Storm couldn’t get her choice of a tag partner either. Marvez then called for medical attention as doctors went inside Shida’s dressing room.
Here is the updated lineup for Wednesday’s Dynamite:
Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. will have a different tag team partner than usual on the September 14 AEW Dynamite.
In a match added to the Dynamite lineup during Friday’s Rampage episode, Britt Baker will team with Serena Deeb against interim Women’s World Champion Toni Storm and Hikaru Shida.
Dissension has been teased in Baker’s alliance with her typical tag partner Jamie Hayter following Baker trying to pin Hayter in a four-way to crown the interim Women’s Champion at All Out. In a backstage segment on the September 7 Dynamite, Hayter was shown walking away from Baker as Baker attempted to talk to her.

Baker defeated Ruby Soho in the finals at AEW Double or Nothing. The finish of the match saw Baker reverse a victory roll into a pinning combination of her own and get the three count.
Following the match, Baker and men’s tournament winner, Adam Cole, were presented with championship belts and the Owen Hart Cup by Dr. Martha Hart.
Leading up to the finals, Baker defeated Danielle Kamela (FKA Vanessa Borne) in a qualifying match, Maki Itoh in the quarter-finals, and Toni Storm in the semi-finals. Soho came into the finals after having defeated Robyn Renegade in a qualifying match, Riho in the quarter-finals, and Kris Statlander in the semi-finals.

Baker has made appearances in AIW in the past, going as far back as 2016. Her latest appearance was in 2019, the same year that All Elite Wrestling was launched.
Recently, Baker has been competing in the Owen Hart Foundation tournament. She defeated Danielle Kamela to qualify, then defeated Maki Itoh in the quarterfinals. She is set to face Toni Storm on this week’s Dynamite. The winner will move on to the finals, which will take place at Double or Nothing on May 29.
Tonight’s AIW event was headlined by a gauntlet match that was won by Bishop.
Maki Itoh returned to AEW on Dynamite, appearing as the Joker mystery opponent for Britt Baker in the Owen Hart Foundation Women’s Tournament.
Itoh lost to Baker by Lockjaw submission in her first AEW appearance since March 2021.
Itoh had teamed with Baker in her last match in AEW on the March 10, 2021 Dynamite, which the two played off of in their Tournament bout. Baker and Itoh hugged, then Baker asked Itoh to lay down and allow her to make the cover for the victory. Itoh appeared to go along with the idea, but then cradled Baker for a near fall.
Baker will face Toni Storm in the semifinals of the Owen Hart Foundation Women’s Tournament. The other semifinal bout will feature Ruby Soho vs. the winner of Red Velvet vs. Kris Statlander, which is set for the Rampage episode airing this Friday.
The finals of the Tournament will take place at the Double or Nothing pay-per-view on Sunday, May 29.
The first finalist has been set for the men’s Owen Hart Foundation tournament while another semifinal has been confirmed. Meanwhile, the first semifinal match has been set for the women’s tournament.
Adam Cole advanced to the finals of the men’s tournament in the main event of tonight’s Dynamite, defeating Jeff Hardy with the last shot. He will face the winner of the other semifinal match, where Samoa Joe will face Kyle O’Reilly. Joe defeated Johnny Elite (John Morrison) in the opening match of tonight’s Dynamite, while O’Reilly defeated Fenix later in the show.
In the women’s tournament, Britt Baker defeated surprise joker entrant Maki Itoh to advance to the semifinals. She will now face Toni Storm in the semifinals. The final quarterfinal match between Red Velvet and Kris Statlander will take place on this Friday’s AEW Rampage. The winner of that match will face Ruby Soho in the second semifinal match.
The finals of both tournaments will take place at AEW Double or Nothing on May 29.
