Posted on by Ethan Renner

One half of the TBS Championship tournament finals are set. 

Ruby Soho defeated Nyla Rose on tonight’s AEW Dynamite to advance to the finals. It was also announced tonight that the tournament finals will be held on the first Dynamite on TBS on Wednesday, January 5. 

Soho will take on the winner of the Thunder Rosa vs. Jade Cargill semifinals match set for AEW Dynamite New Year’s Smash on Wednesday, December 29. Soho defeated Penelope Ford in the TBS tournament first round, then defeated Kris Statlander in the quarterfinals round. 

After debuting in the Casino Battle Royale at the All Out pay-per-view in September, Soho challenged Britt Baker for the AEW Women’s World title at Dynamite Grand Slam later that month. She lost that match to Baker, which remains her only singles defeat in AEW. 

The first Dynamite on TBS will also have an AEW World title rematch, with Hangman Page defending against Bryan Danielson. The two went to a one-hour draw at Winter is Coming last week.

A quarterfinals matchup in the TBS Championship tournament will take place on next week’s AEW Dynamite. 

Ruby Soho will face Kris Statlander in a quarterfinals match on the Wednesday, December 1 show. The winner will advance to the semifinals to face Nyla Rose. 

Soho scored a first round win over Penelope Ford back on October 23 to advance in the tournament. Statlander earned a bye to the quarterfinals by virtue of her standing in the AEW women’s division rankings. 

Soho’s only AEW loss so far came in a Women’s World Championship match against Britt Baker at Dynamite Grand Slam in September.

The other semifinals match is also set, as Thunder Rosa defeated Jamie Hayter on this week’s Dynamite in Chicago to advance. Rosa will face Jade Cargill in the semifinals. Cargill also received a first round bye due to her place in the rankings, then advanced to the semifinals with a win over Red Velvet on the November 19 episode of AEW Rampage. 

More matches for next week’s Dynamite will be announced during AEW Rampage Black Friday.

Cargill was sitting in the front row during the Velvet vs. Bunny encounter, alongside her manager, Mark Sterling. A confrontation between Cargill and Velvet was teased both during and after the match. 

The quarterfinals will consist of Ruby Soho vs. Kris Statlander, Hikaru Shida vs. Nyla Rose, Thunder Rosa vs. Jamie Hayter, plus Velvet vs. Cargill. Statlander, Rose, Cargill and Rosa received first round byes based on their rankings in the women’s division.

Hikaru Shida has advanced to the second round of the TBS Championship tournament. 

Shida defeated Serena Deeb in a first round matchup on AEW Dynamite. With the win, she advances to the second round and a matchup against Nyla Rose. 

Shida’s win was her 50th career AEW win. Deeb previously defeated Shida when she was going for that same 50th career victory. 

Following the first round match on Dynamite, Deeb continued to attack Shida, so Shida will have a storyline leg injury going into the second round match with Rose. 

The remaining first round matches in the TBS title tournament are The Bunny vs. Red Velvet, plus Anna Jay vs. Jamie Hayter. Jay vs. Hayter will take place on next week’s Dynamite. 

Ruby Soho has already advanced to the second round, where she will face Kris Statlander. 

Statlander, Rose, Jade Cargill and Thunder Rosa earned first round tournament byes by virtue of their position in the AEW rankings.
