In somewhat of an upset, The Sisters of Sin advanced in the first round of the inaugural AEW Women’s Tag Team title tournament.
Julia Hart & Skye Blue picked up the win over rivals Jamie Hayter & Queen Aminata during Wednesday’s Fright Night edition of AEW Dynamite. The win was aided by Thekla attacking Hayter outside the ring, leading to the pinfall on Aminata by Blue inside the ring.
It’s the first traditional tag team win for Blue and Hart since March 2024. They will face the winners of Mercedes Mone & Athena vs. Willow Nightingale & Harley Cameron.
Later on, it was confirmed the Mone/Athena vs. Nightingale/Cameron bout will take place on next Wednesday’s Dynamite. That was made official Wednesday after Nightingale and Cameron made the save for AEW Women’s World Champion Kris Statlander as Mone and Athena were beating her down in the ring.
In another development, Marina Shafir will join Megan Bayne in the tournament as Penelope Ford had to withdraw due to a UCL injury in her right arm.
