NWA World Women’s Championship Defended on Dynamite

After losing to Hikaru Shida in a Champion vs. Champion match at AEW All Out, Thunder Rosa returns to Dynamite to defend the NWA Women’s Championship against Ivelisse. Ivelisse is coming off a string of Tag Team victories, including winning the Inaugural AEW Women’s Tag Team Cup. Her only singles match in AEW to resulted in a loss to her eventual tag partner, Diamante.

FTR vs. Jurassic Express, Title Shot on the Line

FTR will face Jurrasic Express in a non-title match, but if Jurrasic Express wins they will receive a future title shot. FTR will be looking for revenge after Jurrasic Express ruined their championship celebration last week on Dynamite.

Final Thoughts

I am a BIG Miro fan and very excited about him joining AEW. I have some concerns about him coming in with Kip Sabian and participating in a wedding storyline, but hopefully he’ll be able to elevate it and everyone involved. He has all of the tools to be a top guy, and I’m looking forward to this run!

Thunder Rosa defending the NWA World Women’s Championship on AEW is great, though I’m not sure how they landed on Ivelisse as the challenger as she doesn’t have any AEW wins under her belt and I don’t recall her doing any work with NWA. I think having something for the women on the roster to challenge for is a good idea and will be interested to see if they treat the NWA Title like they would a mid-card championship. Either way, Thunder Rosa is a great talent and is a great addition to the women’s roster.

The match I’m most anticipating is the FTR vs. Jurassic Express. FTR is looking to avenge their championship party, where the antics of Jurrassic Express rudely prevented them and Tully Blanchard from enjoying some cake with their friends. Truly despicable behavior. I hope that FTR makes them regret the way they behaved.
