Here’s how Tony Khan (TK) could execute this multi-layered storyline to shake up AEW’s women’s division while keeping the AEW Women’s World Title relevant:
1. The Title Upset: Anna Jay Wins with Toni Storm’s Interference
Title Match Setup: Anna Jay and Mariah May have a high-stakes match for the AEW Women’s World Title. Just as Mariah is on the verge of winning, Toni Storm and Mina Shirakawa appear, creating tension and confusion.
Toni Costs Mariah: In a shocking twist, Toni blindsides Mariah, costing her the title. Anna Jay capitalizes on the distraction and wins the championship. This immediately elevates Anna and leaves Mariah furious, feeling robbed of her moment.
2. The Toni Storm vs. Mariah May Feud, with Mina Stuck “In the Middle”
The Fallout: The night after, Mariah confronts Toni, demanding answers, which leads to a heated brawl. Mina, caught between two allies, is unsure where her loyalty lies, setting her up as a potential “neutral” party. She tries to play peacemaker, but it’s clear she’s feeling the strain.
‘In the Middle’ Gimmick: AEW can play off this tension by having Mina wavering between supporting Toni and Mariah, each of whom tries to manipulate her into picking a side. Mina’s internal struggle adds complexity, leading to her involvement in some matches with Toni and Mariah as she tries to avoid picking a side.
3. Anna Jay’s New Title Run: Feuds with Britt Baker and Thunder Rosa
Britt Baker Challenge: Britt, the former champion, steps up, aiming to reclaim her position at the top. She confronts Anna, challenging her as an “unproven” champion and setting up a feud that lets Anna show her grit against one of the division’s top stars.
Thunder Rosa: Later, Thunder Rosa calls out Anna, saying she’s glad Anna has the belt but questions whether she can handle the weight of being a true champion. This feud could escalate with heated promos and physical confrontations, allowing Anna to grow as a fighter.
4. Long-Term Storyline: Anna Jay vs. Mercedes Moné
Mercedes’ Arrival: Mercedes Moné (Sasha Banks) finally makes her way to eyeing the AEW Women’s Title. She challenges Anna, but TK takes a slow-burn approach, letting Anna establish herself as champion before eventually dropping the belt to Mercedes. This build-up could feature high-stakes promos and surprise appearances by Mercedes to tease her eventual match with Anna.
Title Drop: At a major event, Anna loses the title to Mercedes, giving Moné a big win and adding an internationally renowned star to the AEW title picture. This can lead to fresh rivalries and bigger crossover appeal.
5. Hurt Syndicate Storyline with Athena, Representing Both AEW and ROH
Hurt Syndicate Recruitment: The Hurt Syndicate approaches Athena, pitching the idea of her being their enforcer in the women’s division. Given Athena’s aggressive style and ties to WWE, she fits well with the group. This partnership boosts her credibility, making her a formidable challenger to Anna.
Representing Both Brands: With her title from ROH, Athena becomes a dual-brand threat, representing both AEW and ROH in her feud with Anna. This opens up opportunities for cross-promotional storylines between AEW and ROH, letting Athena remind Anna that she represents multiple audiences. Their feud could climax in a match where Athena’s Hurt Syndicate loyalty and her desire to be a dominant force in AEW are both at stake.
This storyline combines title drama, faction feuds, cross-promotional storytelling, and character development across multiple talents, making AEW’s women’s division more dynamic and keeping fans invested.
