After the return of previously absent wrestlers on tonight’s AEW Dynamite, the first-ever AEW Champion match has been officially set. Recently, an intense tournament has been underway to crown the inaugural AEW Women’s Tag Team Champions, featuring eight competitive teams battling for the prestigious title.
The tournament finals are scheduled for next week’s AEW Dynamite Winter is Coming event. Last week, Harley Cameron and Willow Nightingale secured their spot in the finals by defeating Julia Hart and Sky Blue. Tonight, the other semifinal match took place in a Hardcore Holiday Death Match, pitting Toni Storm and Mina Shirakawa against Megan Bain and Marina Shafir—a match type Toni chose following her and Mina’s victory at Full Gear.
A memorable moment occurred when a man dressed as Santa Claus entered the ring bearing a gift for Toni Storm. She used the shoes from the gift to defeat Marina Shafir, advancing to the finals alongside Harley Cameron and Willow Nightingale. It was later revealed that the “Santa Claus” was actually Luther, Toni Storm’s butler, who had been absent from AEW TV for several months.
