AEW Women’s Championship
(C) Nyla Rose Vs. Kris Statlander
The second title match of the night gets underway and they lock-up with Rose shoving Statlander back. They lock-up again and this time both women struggle along the ropes, looking for an advantage. Nyla takes a side headlock, then shoots her off and Statlander looks for a shoulder but Nyla doesn’t budge.
Rose does the same and Kris doesn’t fall, so Rose does it again and she falls. Statlander attempts to kip-up but fails. Statlander his a flipping senton, followed by a moonsault for a two-count. Rose lifts Statlander and runs her into the buckles. She looks for a running splash but Statlander avoids it. Kris is thrown to the apron where Rose drills her with a forearm.
Rose leaves the ring and whips Statlander from the apron to the ring but she dives through the ropes. Statlander looks to hit a suicide dive to Nyla on the ramp but the Champion sidesteps it. Rose then hits a diving spear through the ropes for a two-count. Rose slows things down and suplexes Statlander into the turnbuckles before kicking her from the ring.
Kris gets back in the ring and trades shots with the beast and connects with a weak superkick and both women are down. Statlander hits a few shots and a step-up enziguiri that knocks the Champion from the ring. Statlander hits the ropes, followed by a suicide dive. Statlander gets back in the ring and hits another suicide dive and tosses Nyla into the ring.
Statlander goes up top and hits a dropkick for a near-fall. Nyla turns the tables back in her favour with a lariat, followed by a chop the chest and a lariat to the back. Nyla suplexes Statlander onto the top rope and goes to the top rope but Statlander literally walks off on her hands before lying down and blowing a kiss at Rose. The Champion gets mad and runs at Statlander but misses a kick and Statlander drops her for a two-count. Rose dodges the Big Bang Theory and applies an STF.
Rose releases the STF for no reason and looks for a splash but Statlander avoids it. Rose catches Kris with a Beast Bomb for a near-fall. Nyla goes up top but Statlander punches her, climbs up, and hits a super sloppy superplex. Statlander puts Rose on the top rope and looks for a hurricanrana but Rose holds on. Nyla then tries to lift her up for a Beast Bomb but can’t get her up, so ends up jumping anyway and hitting terrible powerbomb for the win.
Winner: Nyla Rose
The women’s division is by far the worst thing about AEW and this match did nothing to change that. That was a sloppy, dangerous, cringe-worthy match.
