AEW Women's World Championship Eliminator
"Timeless" Toni Storm (c) vs. Taya Valkyrie
The theme for the AEW Women's World Champion hits and out comes "Timeless" Toni Storm, the same version we saw on Dynamite earlier this week. She settles in the ring to a huge crowd reaction for a title eliminator bout.
Taya Valkyrie makes her way out next and settles in the ring to some crowd heat after her appearance with Johnny TV in the Orange Cassidy bout in the AEW Collision opener earlier tonight. The bell sounds and we're officially off-and-running with this one.
Valkyrie takes her sunglasses off and throws them at Storm. Storm picks them up and puts them on. Collision started the same way, with Cassidy taking Johnny TV's glasses and putting them on for the initial offense in the match.
Storm does the same here, wearing Valkyrie's shades while she hits a suplex and a pair of bhig arm-drags. Valkyrie rolls to the floor to recover as Storm hits a hip attack that knocks her off the ring apron and back out to the floor.
Once on the floor, Valkyrie starts to take over control of the action. We head to a mid-match commercial break on that note. When we return, we see Storm fight her way back into victory.
After the match, she cuts an emotional in-ring promo talking about Mariah May turning on her. She gets worked up as she vows to gain revenge after telling May "you should've cut my bloody head off!"
Winner: "Timeless" Toni Storm
