Eight teams will vie to be the inaugural AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions in a tournament that begins next week.
On one side of the bracket, former AEW Women’s World Champion Jamie Hayter will team with Queen Aminata against the Sisters of Sin (Julia Hart & Skye Blue) while TBS Champion Mercedes Mone will team with ROH Women’s World Champion Athena against Willow Nightingale & Harley Cameron.
On the other side of the bracket, former AEW Women’s World Champion Riho returns to team with Alex Windsor against former AEW Women’s World Champion Toni Storm & Mina Shirakawa while Anna Jay & Tay Melo battle Penelope Ford & Megan Bayne.
**********
Hayter and Aminata were victorious on Wednesday’s Dynamite in a four-way tag team match to earn the opportunity to call out their opponents in the first round, challenging Hart and Blue (even though none of the teams had been announced for the tournament yet.)
After taking a few months off, Athena returned Wednesday to console Mone and suggest they team up in the tournament after she was smashed into a cake and put through a table by AEW Women’s World Champion Kris Statlander.
While the tournament starts next week on the Fright Night edition of Dynamite, no other details were given as to when the finals will be. However, next month’s Full Gear pay-per-view seems like a strong possibility.
