Storm & Shida vs. Baker & Deeb added to AEW Dynamite

Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. will have a different tag team partner than usual on the September 14 AEW Dynamite.

In a backstage segment on the September 7 Dynamite, Hayter was shown walking away from Baker as Baker attempted to talk to her. 

Two Tournament of Champions matches are also set for Wednesday’s Dynamite.

AEW Women’s World Championship match announced for Double or Nothing

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.

Rosa came out during tonight’s Dynamite and called out the number one contender, which was Deeb. Deeb said that in order for the AEW women’s division to be the best in the world, the best wrestler in the world needed to be champion. 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
  • Thunder Rosa vs. Serena Deeb for the AEW Women’s World Championship
  • Men’s Owen Hart Foundation tournament final
  • Women’s Owen Hart Foundation tournament final

Serena Deeb five-minute rookie challenge announced for AEW Dynamite

Another match has been added to tonight’s AEW Dynamite. 

Serena Deeb will challenge “a rookie” to last five minutes in the ring with her on the show. 

In the official AEW rankings released today, Deeb was ranked third in the women’s division behind second-ranked Thunder Rosa, and top contender Layla Hirsch. All three top contenders have yet to lose a singles match to this point in 2022. AEW Women’s World Champion Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. is 1-0 in singles matches this year, while TBS Champion Jade Cargill is 4-0 in singles matches in 2022. 

Cargill defending her TBS title against the debuting AQA was another late add to tonight’s Dynamite. AQA is a graduate of Booker T’s Reality of Wrestling school and promotion in Texas. She wrestled in NXT under the name Zayda Ramier prior to her November 2021 release, though her last match with WWE came in June 2021.

AEW’S Serena Deeb set for Terminus 2

Terminus has made another talent announcement for their Thursday, February 24 event in Atlanta. 

AEW star Serena Deeb has officially been added to the lineup for Terminus 2. 

The Jonathan Gresham-owned promotion will run their second event next month with a talent lineup that includes Deeb, Queen Aminata, Leon Ruffin, Kevin Blackwood, Lio Rush, Shane “Swerve” Strickland (Sw3rve The Realest), AEW’s Santana, and Gresham, the Ring of Honor World Champion. No matches have been made official for the show. 

Deeb is coming off two consecutive AEW victories, with wins over Hikaru Shida and Skye Blue on Dynamite this month. Prior to defeating Shida, Deeb had lost two in a row to her, including a TBS Championship tournament match in October 2021.

Gresham defeated Josh Alexander in the main event of the first Terminus event on January 16, retaining the ROH title. The Impact Wrestling Digital Media Championship was also defended on that show, with Jordynne Grace defeating Kiera Hogan.

Two matches announced for Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite

New matches have been announced for AEW’s return to Wednesday nights.

Hikaru Shida vs. Serena Deeb in a opening round TBS Women’s Championship tournament match will take place this Wednesday at the Agganis Arena in Boston, Massachusetts. Preston Vance of the Dark Order will meet Jon Moxley in the World Title Eliminator tournament.

Shida and Deeb have been feuding in recent weeks after Deeb prevented Shida from obtaining her 50th singles win in AEW. After Deeb had defeated Shida, she attacked her, laying Shida out with the trophy that would have commemorated her 50th win. 

On tonight’s Rampage, Orange Cassidy defeated Powerhouse Hobbs in the World title eliminator tournament. The winner of the match between Moxley and Vance will move on to face Cassidy in the semifinals.

AEW Dynamite will return to Wednesday nights after moving to Saturday nights two weeks in a row due to NHL coverage on TNT. Dynamite on Saturday will have the start of the AEW Women’s title tournament with Ruby Soho facing Penelope Ford and two World title eliminator tournament matches: Dustin Rhodes vs. Bryan Danielson and Lance Archer vs. Eddie Kingston.

Kamille wins NWA Women’s title at When Our Shadows Fall

Kamille is the new NWA Women’s champion.

She defeated Serena Deeb at the NWA’s When Our Shadows Fall event that took place this afternoon. In what turned out to be a back and forth contest, Kamille pinned Deeb following a spear to win the championship for the first time. This ends Deeb’s run with the title after holding it for 222 days, defeating Thunder Rosa at a UWN Primetime Live event back in October.

Deeb has defended the title multiple times on AEW television. Since returning from a knee injury, she’s retained the title against the likes of Red Velvet and Riho, with the latter title defense taking place at the AEW Double or Nothing buy-in pre show last weekend.

In the NWA, Thunder Rosa and Kamille have feuded over who would challenge Deeb next for the title. Kamille originally became the number one contender, but Rosa challenged her to a match where she would give up working for other companies if she lost again. That match ended in a draw, meaning Rosa could still wrestle in other places, but Kamille would still challenge for the title.

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

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.

Thunder Rosa to face Kamille in NWA match with AEW stipulation

Thunder Rosa accepted a match this week on NWA  Power that could see her no longer appearing on AEW and other outside wrestling companies if she loses.

On the show, Kamille accused Rosa of using the NWA for her own selfish purposes, pointing out her appearances on AEW Dynamite. Kamille said she would put her number one contendership to the NWA Women’s title on the line in a 20 minute, one fall match if Rosa would agree that she would not be able to work with any other company if she lost. Rosa agreed, though a date for the match wasn’t established.

Kamille has been number one contender since NWA Back for the Attack on March 21, when she defeated Rosa. Serena Deeb, the NWA Women’s champion, has been out of action since February with a knee injury.

Rosa has appeared regularly on AEW television since last September, with AEW contracted wrestler Deeb defeating Rosa on an episode of UWN Primetime Live to win the NWA Women’s championship. A recent high-profile match on Dynamite saw Rosa defeat Britt Baker in a lights out match.

NWA Women’s Champion Serena Deeb optimistic after left knee scope

AEW roster member and current NWA Women’s Champion Serena Deeb gave a social media update on a left knee injury she recently suffered.

In a tweet, she said she had a scope done and that it went “really well” and “will be back before you know it.”

Update on my knee…I had a scope done and it went really well. I’ll be back before you know it. Thank you all for the support and concern. pic.twitter.com/AzGVpwsxNf

— Serena (@SerenaDeeb) March 5, 2021

It’s unknown when the 34-year-old was injured, but she was favoring her knee in her sole Women’s title eliminator tournament match. In the February 17th loss to Riho, AEW doctor Michael Sampson was seen working on her knee during a commercial break. The veteran wanted to continue and was able to finish the well-received fifteen minute match.

Since signing with the company in September, Deeb has averaged two matches a month and only three times this year. With the NWA announcing a return to TV tapings in late-March, it’s unclear if their Women’s Champion will be ready to defend the title when they resume.

Riho returning to AEW in Women’s title eliminator tournament

Riho vs. Serena Deeb has been announced for the upcoming AEW Women’s title eliminator tournament.

AEW announced tonight during Dynamite that Rhio would be making her return to AEW to square off against the NWA Women’s Champion during the opening round of the tournament. It would be the first time Riho has competed in AEW since last March. 

The company announced the upcoming tournament last week. No start date has been set, though the graphic AEW aired tonight saidthat the tournament would be coming soon. The winner will be next in line for the AEW Women’s title.

In Riho’s last AEW match on March 18, she lost a fatal four way match that involved winner Hikaru Shida, Kris Statlander, and Penelope Ford. She has been mostly working for Stardom during the COVID-19 pandemic, but finished up with the promotion in December.

Riho was the first AEW Women’s champion, defeating Nyla Rose in a tournament final on the October 2, 2019 edition of Dynamite. Rose later went on to defeat Rhio for the title on February 20th of last year.
