— On tonight’s Dynamite, AEW Women’s World Champion Hikaru Shida retained her title against Anna Jay via pinfall.
After the match, Shida celebrated her victory, but was met at the stage by Abadon. With blood dripping from her mouth, Abadon crawled her way out towards the champion, causing her to fall down and drop her title. Abadon picked up the championship and licked it, leaving a bloody mark on Shida’s title.
Abadon had been off TV after taking an elbow to the throat, which sent Abadon to the hospital, in her AEW Dark match against Tay Conti late last month.
AEW has yet to announce a match, but it’s likely these two will meet in the ring very soon.
— The Dynamite Diamond Battle Royale returns on next week’s Winter is Coming edition of AEW Dynamite.
The last two wrestlers to make it through the Battle Royale will then face off against each other at a later time in a singles match. The winner of that match becomes the new owner of the Dynamite Diamond Ring for the next year.

Other participants include: Private Party, John Silver, Alex Reynolds, Matt Hardy, Hangman Page, Sammy Guevara, Matt Sydal, Scorpio Sky, Shawn Spears, Orange Cassidy, Kip Sabian, Miro, and Wardlow.
