The Deadly Draw could imply that the teams will be chosen at random, as AEW hasn’t really got any women’s tag teams outside the Nightmare Sisters (Brandi Rhodes & Allie). Regardless, with so many women in AEW’s women’s division that aren’t getting regular opportunities still on AEW Dynamite this would be a great opportunity to dive deeper into everyone’s characters and really get the whole squad over in one push.
