AEW Announces Women’s Tag Team Championship

AEW just added a major piece of gold to its women’s division. On this week’s Dynamite, AEW President Tony Khan revealed that the company will be rolling out Women’s Tag Team Championships for the very first time.

In a backstage segment, Khan praised the growth of the division over the past year, noting the expanded roster, stronger storytelling, and the increasing spotlight on women’s matches. That momentum now leads to a brand-new prize for the women’s roster to fight for — and one that fans have been speculating about for months.

After Khan’s announcement, Renee Paquette was on hand to unveil the brand-new championship belts, giving fans their first look at the titles that will soon be up for grabs. While no tournament or match details were confirmed, AEW has teased that the process to crown the inaugural champions is already in the works.

Since AEW’s launch in 2019, the company’s women’s division has primarily revolved around singles competition, with the AEW Women’s World Championship and TBS Championship serving as the cornerstones. Now, with the addition of Women’s Tag Team gold, the division has more opportunities than ever to showcase its depth and build new rivalries.

AEW’s investment in its women’s division has been noticeable in 2025, with more screen time and storyline development given to the roster. The Women’s Tag Team titles could be the next big step in solidifying that progress, opening the door for fresh alliances, rivalries, and long-term storytelling.

The question now is simple: which duo will make history as the first champions?

Update On AEW Return Of Orange Cassidy

After six months on the shelf, Orange Cassidy is finally on his way back to AEW programming. The former International Champion has been out since March with a torn pectoral muscle, but all signs point to his long-awaited return this Wednesday on AEW Dynamite.

Over the weekend, Cassidy’s Conglomeration allies Mark Briscoe and Kyle O’Reilly all but confirmed his involvement in a six-man tag match. Dave Meltzer later reported on Wrestling Observer Radio that Cassidy has officially been cleared to compete, setting the stage for his comeback bout.

On Dynamite, Cassidy will join Briscoe and Hologram to face three members of The Don Callis Family. That group has been steadily expanding in recent months, keeping busy feuding with The Conglomeration. Most recently, Kyle Fletcher and Josh Alexander scored a big win over O’Reilly and Tomohiro Ishii on the August 30 edition of Collision, adding more fuel to this faction rivalry.

Cassidy’s last appearance before the injury came back in March, when he fell short in a four-way eliminator for the AEW International Championship. That title has since been unified, but Cassidy’s impact on the belt — and AEW as a whole — can’t be understated. Since joining the company, he’s wrestled more than 250 matches, becoming one of the true workhorses of the roster.

This six-month layoff marks the longest absence of Cassidy’s AEW career, making his Dynamite return all the more significant. Fans will no doubt be eager to see if “Freshly Squeezed” can pick up where he left off and re-establish himself as one of the company’s most reliable stars.

Tailgate Brawl

Samoa Joe & Powerhouse Hobbs def. The Workhorsemen via submission

Daniel Garcia wins by pinfall with a surfboard stomp.

Frat House (Griff Garrison, Kole Karter, & Preston Vance) vs. Hologram & Paragon (Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong)

Heels in control early, but O’Reilly starts picking them apart one-by-one. Interference ran, Kyle getting worked over but Hologram comes in hot! Head of steam, tope con giro, he takes Garrison back inside…

Hologram & Paragon win by pinfall, Hologram pinning Griff Garrison.

Harley Cameron, Mina Shirakawa, Queen Aminata, & Willow Nightingale vs. Megan Bayne, Penelope Ford, & Sisters of Sin (Julia Hart & Skye Blue) (Tornado Tailgate Brawl)

Brawling to start, babyfaces in control, four-way meeting of the minds, Shirakawa on all fours so Bayne can get tripped over here and the babyface gals all tear their shirts off! Heels make a comeback, Megasus chucks somebody over the ropes and into the crush with a military press, trading elbows, everybody back inside, looking for a comedically huge suplex… babyfaces suplex the heels!

Action to the floor, weapons in play, throwing plastic cups at each other, Ford spanks Aminata with a spatula and gets the tongs in return and we… go to commercial?

Back from commercial, brawling, Willow with a pounce, Aminata and Shirakawa take the Sisters of Sin to the floor, bounce ‘em off the barricade and put ‘em in a charcoal grill and punch ‘em through it! Back inside, Nightingale has Ford…

Harley Cameron, Mina Shirakawa, Queen Aminata, & Willow Nightingale win by pinfall with the Doctor Bomb from Nightingale on Penelope Ford.

All Out

Christian Cage & Adam Copeland def. FTR

Toronto couldn’t have asked for a more fitting opener, as local heroes Adam Copeland and Christian Cage reunited against FTR. The crowd was electric — from belting out Copeland’s entrance music to showering Cage with the affectionate “He’s our asshole” chant.

Despite FTR’s experience and some underhanded assists from Stokely Hathaway, Copeland and Cage turned back the clock with double-team offense that felt like it never left. The biggest surprise came when Beth Copeland got involved, spearing Stokely to a huge ovation. After a chaotic series of near-falls, Copeland nailed Cash Wheeler with a spear for the win.

The celebration didn’t last. Nick Wayne, his mother, and Kip Sabian set the stage for a post-match ambush, with FTR brutally leaving Cage and Beth laid out. Copeland was left handcuffed to the ropes, forced to watch in horror.


Eddie Kingston def. Big Bill

The Mad King is back! Kingston returned to thunderous chants and battled Big Bill in a hard-hitting slugfest. Bill’s size dominated stretches of the match, but Kingston’s fighting spirit wouldn’t be denied. After a series of chops and suplexes, Eddie sealed the win with the spinning backfist.

Afterward, Bryan Keith tried to jump Kingston — only for HOOK to make his return. The duo cleaned house and left together, teasing a dangerous new alliance.


Tables N’ Tacks Match: Mark Briscoe def. MJF

A night after losing the CMLL World Championship, MJF came into All Out with bad intentions. He and Briscoe delivered a violent spectacle filled with thumbtacks, tables, and plenty of blood.

MJF’s cruelty included shoving tacks into Briscoe’s mouth, but Briscoe’s resilience carried him through. After surviving chair shots and a tombstone on tacks, Briscoe connected with a Jay Driller on the steel for the three-count. The win was emotional, with Briscoe standing tall after one of AEW’s most sadistic matches in months.


Ricochet, Toa Liona & Bishop Kaun def. The Hurt Syndicate

The Hurt Syndicate reunited for a six-man tag, but Ricochet and company had other plans. While Lashley and Benjamin looked strong, The Demand’s numbers game and Ricochet’s opportunism sealed the win. The high-flying star hit a Spirit Gun to MVP for the finish.


TBS Championship: Mercedes Moné (c) def. Riho

Riho pushed Mercedes Moné to her limit in one of the night’s most competitive matches. The challenger nearly stole it with a series of suplexes and submissions, but Moné showed her championship poise.

After raking the eyes behind the referee’s back, Moné hit a lungblower followed by the Moné Maker to retain her TBS Title.


AEW Unified Championship: Kazuchika Okada (c) def. Máscara Dorada & Konosuke Takeshita

In a triple threat that lived up to expectations, Okada retained his championship against Takeshita and Dorada. The match was fast-paced and filled with wild sequences — including Dorada hitting a double hurricanrana on both opponents at once.

Ultimately, Okada weathered the storm, dropping Dorada with the Rainmaker to keep the gold. After the bell, Okada and Takeshita shared a tense face-off, hinting this rivalry is far from finished.


Coffin Match: Jon Moxley def. Darby Allin

This was chaos from the start, with Allin diving off the entranceway into the crowd before the bell even rang. The violence escalated with forks, smashed fingers, and blood. At one point, Allin nearly suffocated Moxley with a plastic bag, only for PAC to make a shocking return.

PAC stuffed Allin into a body bag, shoved him into the coffin, and allowed Moxley to slam it shut for the victory.


AEW Women’s World Championship 4-Way: Kris Statlander def. Toni Storm (c), Jamie Hayter & Thekla – NEW Champion

In a match packed with physicality and drama, Kris Statlander shocked the world by dethroning Toni Storm.

Thekla impressed with big suplexes, while Hayter reminded fans why she’s one of AEW’s hardest hitters. Storm looked to steal the spotlight as usual, but in the end, Statlander trapped her in a quick seatbelt pin to score the upset.

Fireworks and confetti rained down as Statlander celebrated her first AEW Women’s World Championship.


AEW World Tag Team Championship Ladder Match: Brodido (c) def. Young Bucks, JetSpeed & Alexander/Hechicero

Ladders, tables, and chaos defined this four-team clash. Everyone had moments to shine — JetSpeed in particular wowed with high-risk dives — but the Young Bucks’ attempt to form a temporary alliance with the Don Callis Family couldn’t get it done.

After a series of insane bumps, Bandido pulled down the belts to keep the titles for himself and Brody King. Post-match, Jack Perry made his shocking return alongside Luchasaurus, leaving the Bucks laid out.

Darby Allin Tries to Make Jon Moxley Burn

Marina Shafir grabbed a cameraman and demanded he film what was happening. We saw the Death Riders standing around the coffin with Darby Allin inside, as Jon Moxley gave what sounded like a short eulogy. He then told the group he needed some alone time, so they left in a pickup truck. 

Moxley told the camera to leave and then Allin popped out of the coffin to attack Moxley with a pipe. He escaped the bodybag and put Moxley inside and zipped it up. He was about to smash Moxley’s head with the pipe until he saw something else. He grabbed some flammable aerosol spray and put it all over the bodybag. Then he LIT IT ON FIRE! Allin was dragged away by security as the fire was put out, but he continued to yell. 


AEW World Championship: Adam Page (c) def. Kyle Fletcher

The main event saw Kyle Fletcher give the fight of his life, targeting Hangman’s injured neck with brainbusters and vicious strikes. Don Callis could only watch as Fletcher came within inches of winning AEW’s top prize.

Hangman’s grit carried him through, surviving multiple close calls before finally connecting with the Buckshot Lariat to retain. After the bell, Page offered words of respect to Fletcher, closing the night on a rare note of sportsmanship.

Report: Eddie Kingston Signs Contract For AEW In-Ring Return, Targets Big Bill

Eddie Kingston looks to be on the road back to an AEW ring — and he’s wasting no time calling his shot. After over a year on the sidelines, Kingston confirmed via Instagram that he has officially signed a contract for his return, setting his sights on Big Bill.

The update came through a screencap Kingston shared on Threads, where he wrote:

“So got the phone call and the money is right and the contract is signed on my end. So Big Bill you dumb goofy bastard just send location.”

Fans were surprised when Big Bill publicly challenged Kingston during a recent episode of AEW Collision, given Kingston’s lengthy absence. The “Mad King” has been out of action since tearing both his ACL and meniscus in a hard-hitting match against NJPW’s Gabe Kidd at Resurgence. Though Kingston gave a positive rehab update last month, the timing wasn’t right for him to compete at Forbidden Door. Now, however, it looks like he’s ready to settle the score.

The ball is in Big Bill’s court when it comes to choosing the time and place. In the meantime, Bill has kept busy in AEW despite mentor Chris Jericho’s absence since dropping the ROH World Championship in April. Teaming with fellow “Learning Tree” member Bryan Keith, Bill competed in this summer’s AEW World Tag Title Eliminator Tournament, though the duo fell in the first round to Juice Robinson and Austin Gunn.

With Kingston freshly cleared and fired up, and Big Bill standing tall as one of AEW’s most imposing big men, fans could be in for a bruising return match that sets the tone for Kingston’s next chapter.

ROH Women’s Champion Athena Reportedly Taking Short Hiatus After Historic Milestone

Ring of Honor will be without one of its cornerstones for the next several weeks. According to Fightful Select, reigning ROH Women’s World Champion Athena is expected to step away from in-ring action for around five to six weeks. The exact reason for her hiatus hasn’t been disclosed.

The timing is notable, as “The Fallen Goddess” just hit a major milestone in her reign. Days after successfully defending her title against Mina Shirakawa at Death Before Dishonor on August 29, Athena officially surpassed 1,000 days as ROH Women’s Champion. She first captured the gold in December 2022 and has since built one of the most dominant legacies in the brand’s modern era.

During her reign, Athena has remained unbeaten in ROH-sanctioned singles competition, boasting a staggering 69-0 record. Along the way, she’s turned back challenges from names like Billie Starkz, Queen Aminata, Thunder Rosa, Alex Windsor, and Hikaru Shida. Her dominance even extended beyond ROH, as she recently tested herself against AEW Women’s World Champion Toni Storm at Forbidden Door. While Storm walked away victorious in their crossover clash, Athena’s showing further solidified her standing among the elite of women’s wrestling.

With Athena temporarily out of action, questions naturally turn to how Ring of Honor will handle her absence. Given her iron grip on the division, this break could open the door for challengers to emerge — or simply allow Athena to return refreshed and ready to extend her historic run even further.

Regardless, surpassing 1,000 days as champion cements Athena’s reign as one of the most dominant in modern wrestling, and her return will be a major moment for both ROH and AEW fans alike.
