AEW Women’s Tag Team Cup Tournament To Begin Next Week, Rules Clarified

AEW’s upcoming Women’s Tag Team Cup Tournament titled “The Deadly Draw” will begin next week on YouTube, and now the rules have been clarified.

During last night’s edition of Dynamite, Tony Schiavone confirmed the tournament is set to start Monday evening on the AEW YouTube channel.

The rules of the “The Deadly Draw” are as follows:

  • The tournament is a random draw
  • All competitors must draw a color
  • Matching colors will become a team
  • Selections are final and cannot be appealed

This means the competitors will not know who their partners will be until the drawing, therefore the tournament will not include established teams.

Matt Cardona (Zack Ryder) Makes AEW Debut On Dynamite

Former WWE star Zack Ryder aka Matt Cardona appeared on AEW Dynamite last night.

It all went down following Cody’s successful TNT Championship defense against Warhorse in one of his open challenge matches when members of The Dark Order came out.

John Silver and Alex Reynolds attempted to attack Cody, but Warhorse pushed him out of the way to help and got beaten down. Arn Anderson then got in the ring to fight the tag team, but Matt Cardona intervened instead.

The former WWE star took out both members, then hugged Cody on the outside.

AEW Announces “Fight For The Fallen” Charity Initiatives To Support COVID-19 Response

AEW has announced two charity-driven initiatives in conjunction with Fight for the Fallen to help support COVID-19 response in Florida.

The company sent out a press release on Friday which explains:

Leading up to the highly anticipated FIGHT FOR THE FALLEN event this Wednesday, July 15, AEW today announced two charity-driven initiatives to help support northeast Florida’s response to COVID-19.

Funds from both AEW programs will be distributed to Florida’s First Coast Relief Fund and Feeding Northeast Florida, both of which will provide a range of health and well-being services for those struggling during this time. The two organizations are 501(c)(3) not for profits.

In the spirit of FIGHT FOR THE FALLEN, which raised money for the Jacksonville-based Victims Assistance Advisory Council last year, AEW is appealing to fans to donate what they can to Florida’s First Coast Relief Fund and Feeding Northeast Florida at http://www.AEWFightfortheFallen.com.

As part of the overall effort, AEW has designed a limited-edition shirt depicting powerful FIGHT FOR THE FALLEN imagery with a COVID-19 protective face mask at the center of the artwork. One-hundred percent of the proceeds from sales of the shirt, which is available at http://www.ShopAEW.com, will also go to Florida’s First Coast Relief Fund and Feeding Northeast Florida.

In March, the Khan family donated $1 million to various organizations to support northeast
Florida’s response to COVID-19.

“The efforts of the First Coast Relief Fund and Feeding Northeast Florida over the past four months have been truly amazing, but unfortunately the battle against this pandemic continues and that means their work is far from over,” said Tony Khan, President and CEO of All Elite Wrestling. “On behalf of everyone at AEW, and our fans, I thank both groups for their commitment to our home community of Jacksonville and North Florida and hope we can all come together to do what we can to support their mission.”

Fight for the Fallen airs this Wednesday on TNT. The show will feature FTR vs. Lucha Brothers, The Elite vs. Jurassic Express, Cody Rhodes vs. Sonny Kiss and Jon Moxley defending the AEW World title against Brian Cage.
