To start off the night in women’s action, Renee Paquette is backstage with the AEW Women’s World Champion “Timeless” Toni Storm and Mariah May. Paquette informs them that Saraya, Mariah May, and even Luther cannot be involved in the grudge match against Harley Cameron scheduled for tonight. After a vicious post-match attack last week by the hands of Cameron, Storm has some choice words to say to her.
The match gets underway and Cameron gets an aggressive start against Storm, but the prowess of Storm sends Cameron to the outside of the ring. Interestingly, the one person who was not banned from ringside, the No. 1 contender for the AEW Women’s Championship Serena Deeb, is on stage getting an up-close look at this match.
Cameron takes advantage of this distraction and manages to gain control of the match. Storm manages to find an opening, but the action continues to go back and forth. Storm feigns a hit and manages to connect a Storm Zero for the win.
Paquette is in the ring as we are about to start the contract signing for the TBS Championship match between champion Willow Nightingale and Mercedes Moné.
Nightingale says she respects Moné, but asks her if she respects the TBS Championship. With its lineage and previous titleholders, Nightingale is not willing to let go of this title so easily.
Moné says if she wants to talk about legacy, then look no further as she touts herself as the “Greatest of All Time.” She goes on to further state that she’ll represent herself on red carpets and baseball pitches as the “new face of TBS.”
The two sign the dotted line and Nightingale says that the last time they faced she walked out as champion, while Moné couldn’t “walk out at all.” Moné is enraged and slaps Nightingale across the face, all the while taunts the crowd with the TBS Championship in hand. Nightingale gets some revenge of her own and sends Moné through the table.
What did you think about tonight’s AEW Dynamite? Is Mercedes Moné able to walk out of Double or Nothing with the championship? Can Toni Storm prevail over Serena Deeb? Let us know in the comments below!
