Serena Deeb vs. Riho set for AEW Double or Nothing pre-show

Posted on by Josh Nason

Serena Deeb will defend the NWA Women’s title against former AEW Women’s Champion Riho on Sunday’s The Buy In, the pre-show for AEW Double or Nothing 

The match was going to be announced on Friday’s AEW Dynamite, but an image was accidentally shared by an international announcer Wednesday morning on social media.

After a three month absence due to a knee injury, Deeb returned to action this month on Dynamite, successfully defending the title against Red Velvet — her first action since a mid-February loss to Riho in the AEW Women’s title eliminator tournament.

Deeb defeated Thunder Rosa for the title last October on an episode of UWN Primetime Live. She has five defenses of the title, all on AEW TV, but has yet to make any appearance on NWA Power since the show returned. She also doesn’t have an announced match for NWA’s upcoming When The Shadows Fall pay-per-view.

After returning to AEW after more than a year away, Riho defeated Deeb, lost to Rosa in the semifinals, teamed with Rosa in a losing effort to Britt Baker and Maki Ito, and defeated Ito on the first-ever Dark: Elevation on March 10th. She hasn’t been back since.

Baker vs. Swole AEW Buy In match to be cinematic in presentation

As first discussed on last night’s Wrestling Observer Radio, the Britt Baker vs. Big Swole “Tooth and Nail” match on Saturday’s All Out pre-show will be cinematic in presentation.

AEW President Tony Khan confirmed the news Thursday during a media call, saying the main reasons are that Baker is still recovering from her injuries and that they will have live fans in attendance, insinuating that they want to give her more time to get the ring rust off.

Khan also answered criticism about the match being on The Buy In, saying they want to put stars on the pre-show to help sell the PPV which is a philosophy of the company’s. At this point, it’s believed Baker vs. Swole will be the sole pre-show match.

On WOR, Dave Meltzer said he believed the setting was going to be at Baker’s dental office. The stipulations, if there are any, weren’t explained when it was announced on Wednesday’s Dynamite. 

The two have been feuding for months but this will mark Baker’s first return to action since her knee was injured during a May episode of Dynamite.
