It’s Shark Week here at AEW Dynamite, and tonight we progress the story with the world title scene.
Billie Starkz has a big night ahead of herself as she faces the AEW Women’s World Champion, “Timeless” Toni Storm in an Eliminator match. Right behind Starkz is none other than the Ring of Honor Women’s World Champion, Athena is set to take on Storm for the title at any time she wants.
First, we hear from Starkz and Athena, whom have a lot to say before the match tonight. Athena tells her minion to soften Storm up as much as she can.
A new faction has formed within the AEW Women’s Division as we get a glimpse of “The Toxic Spider” Thekla, joining the forces of Julia Hart and Skye Blue.
Renee Paquette also follows up with Willow Nightingale after her match last week. It seems she has a spider problem, and thus challenges Thekla to a match.
With Athena up in the opera box, we now commence with the Eliminator match. Both are back and forth, but Starkz takes control of the match as she sends Storm spilling towards the outside. Storm finally fires back, but Starkz continues to show that she’s not someone to underestimate.
Starkz heads for a senton off the top rope, but Storm gets her knees up. Storm manages to catch Starkz in a chokehold and picks up the win. Despite the loss, Starkz still has a mission to wear down Storm and cracks her in the head with the world title. Athena comes down from the balcony and both her and Starkz continue to batter Storm and even the referee.
Athena is about to cash in that contract she won at All In, but Alex Windsor arrives to make the save. Windsor challenges for Athena’s ROH title this Saturday on Collision.
What did you think about tonight’s AEW Dynamite? Can Windsor defeat the forever champion this Saturday? Will Athena strike at the right moment? Let us know in the comments below!
