First-Time Ever Match Revealed for April 9 AEW Dynamite

Toni Storm isn’t just sitting pretty with the AEW Women’s World Championship—she’s keeping a close eye on her next potential threat.

Tony Khan jumped on social media to confirm a major quarterfinal match in the Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Cup Tournament for the April 9 episode of AEW Dynamite. It’s going to be Thunder Rosa vs. Kris Statlander in their first-ever singles clash, and Storm will be on commentary for the entire match.

“Thunder Rosa vs. Kris Statlander, this Wednesday on TBS!” Khan wrote, adding that the winner is one step closer to a title shot at AEW All In: Texas this July.

With the tournament winner getting a crack at the Women’s World Title, it makes sense that Storm would want the best view in the house. If she can hang onto the gold through the summer, there’s a real chance she’ll be defending against whichever one of these two walks away from the bracket as the victor.

This quarterfinal bout is massive—not just for Rosa and Statlander, but for the whole women’s division. It’s a shot at Wembley-level spotlight, and Storm knows it. Don’t be surprised if her commentary gives away exactly how she feels about both of these contenders.

One thing is for sure: the Owen Hart Foundation Cup is heating up, and Toni Storm is watching every move.

Do you think Toni Storm is feeling threatened by Rosa or Statlander—or is she just playing mind games from commentary? Sound off in the comments and let us know who you want to see win the Cup.
