AEW has a huge show planned for next week’s Dynamite, in Jacksonville. However, it seems one title match had to be changed.
Kris Statlander was the #1 contender for Riho’s AEW Women’s Title, but the match will no longer be taking place. Instead, Riho will defend her title in a four-way match. However, Statlander will still be getting a title shot, the following week. She will be challenging the winner of the four-way match, on January 8th.
Rather than force Kris to choose between her title shot or keeping her word on a commitment she made before signing here, we’re allowing her to do both. The champion Riho will defend vs. #2 Britt/#3 Shida/#4 Nyla in a 4 way title match. The winner defends vs. #1 Kris on January 8
We will have to see whether Riho retains her title on next week’s Dynamite or not.
