Statlander ended Havok’s ten month reign as AAW Women’s Champion and on January 8th, she’ll also be challenging for the AEW Women’s World Title. Statlander was slated to take on Riho for the title on the ‘Homecoming’ edition of Dynamite on January 1st but due to her commitiments with Bar Wrestling, All ELute Wrestling allowed her to fuffill her dates with the promotion and postponed her title match to the January 8th episode of Dynamite.
Riho is now defending her title in a four-way match against Nyla Rose, Hikaru Shida and Britt Baker and the winner of that match will move on to the following week’s Dynamite to defend their title against the newly crowned AAW Women’s Champion, Kris Statlander.
