AEW Dynamite airs live again from the Petersen Events Center in Pittsburgh, PA, tonight. Tony Khan has an important announcement in store for fans—what could it be? Meanwhile, hot off her Women’s World Championship victory at All Out, Kris Statlander defends her title against Mina Shirakawa! AEW Dynamite airs live tonight, again from the Petersen Events Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
AEW President Tony Khan denied knowing anything about another rumor that Baker was trying to get out of her AEW contract. Khan said she is “very talented and we could utilize in AEW with the right situation and at the right time.” I’d say there’s no better time for Britt to return than when AEW is in her hometown tonight. DDP says Baker is healthy and ready to return, so if she doesn’t show up tonight, that doesn’t bode well at all for her AEW return ever happening. I think it’s now or never.
Tony said one reason for the delay with these belts is that he’s been waiting for the women’s division to get closer to full strength after dealing with several injuries and absences. If Baker happens to be back in the fold, that could be one way to bolster the division with a big star ahead of the launch of these belts. Kris Statlander is the new AEW women’s world champion, and she wants to be a fighting champ. Her first title defense is tonight against Mina Shirakawa. Mark Briscoe and Hologram are teaming up with a mystery man tonight in a trios match against AEW Unified Champion Kazuchika Okada, Konosuke Takeshita, and Hechicero of the Don Callis Family. A backstage bit with the Conglomeration at All Out heavily teased that Orange Cassidy is the mystery man.
