After the events of the last few weeks, the AEW Women’s World title scene will get clarified on next week’s Title Tuesday edition of AEW Dynamite.

Former AEW Women’s Champion Britt Baker will take on former CMLL Women’s Champion Willow Nightingale in a title eliminator match. The winner will challenge reigning champion Mariah May at next Saturday’s AEW WrestleDream pay-per-view.

Nightingale got into a scrap with May both this past Wednesday and on Saturday’s Collision after the former defeated Trish Adora. That was preceded by a Baker vignette in which she called out May for a shot following her win over Serena Deeb Wednesday.

TBS & NJPW Strong Women’s Champion Mercedes Mone will put both of her titles on the line against the returning Emi Sakura.

Mone, who has a feud with Kris Statlander in her sights, has defended the TBS title seven times and the Strong title just once. Sakura hasn’t competed in AEW since April and has never held an AEW title.

In another new development, Hook called out whoever took out Taz prior to Dynamite to confront him face-to-face. Taz was written off in storyline due to having knee replacement surgery.

After being attacked by Brody King on Collision and getting his WrestleDream open challenge accepted, Darby Allin has requested a face-to-face confrontation with the big man.

Here’s the current lineup for Tuesday in Spokane, Washington, with a special start time of 9 PM Eastern:

  • Bryan Danielson & Wheeler Yuta vs. Claudio Castagnoli & PAC
  • TBS & NJPW Strong Women’s Champion Mercedes Mone defends both titles against Emi Sakura
  • Willow Nightingale vs. Britt Baker in an AEW Women’s World title eliminator
  • Hook calls out Taz’s attackers
  • Darby Allin and Brody King face-to-face confrontation
