World Championship Announced For AEW Dynamite

World Championship gold will be on the line on AEW Dynamite.

At All Out, Kris Statlander brought “Timeless” Toni Storm’s AEW Women’s World Championship run to a shocking halt.

Storm had held the gold since beating Mariah May at Grand Slam Australia in February, defeating several big names since. This included handing Mercedes Mone her first defeat since she signed with the company in March 2024.

In a wild four-way match, which also included Thekla and Jamie Hayter, Statlander caught Storm by surprise with a seatbelt pin.

At the post-show press conference, Statlander said her victory was even more special after losing so many opportunities through injury in the past. With the win, Statlander became the first woman to win the TBS and World Championships.
