BREAKING: AEW Star Relinquishes Top Title On Dynamite
AEW fans received some unfortunate news on the most recent episode of Dynamite, as they got to know that one of the most beloved stars on the roster is forced to drop their championship.
The star in question is none other than the TBS Champion, Willow Nightingale, who has been on a roll as the TBS Champion since she created history by beating Mercedes Mone for the belt.
Since dethroning Mone as the champion, Willow went on to defend her title in 10 separate matches against the likes of Julia Hart, Persephone, Hikaru Shida, and Anna Jay, among others.

However, during her most recent defense, which came against Red Velvet at AEW Collision this past Saturday, Willow suffered an injury to her right shoulder, rendering her unable to compete for the next few weeks.
Following this injury, Willow Nightingale took the tough decision to relinquish her title. She also announced that she won’t be competing in her match at Double or Nothing this coming weekend.
Fighting champion through and through.
Unfortunately, @willowwrestles has suffered an injury and will be forced to withdraw from the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament and relinquish the TBS Title!
