Ahead of AEW Grand Slam Australia on Saturday, AEW Dynamite will air live from the Golden State at the Toyota Arena with a night of exciting action, including an AEW Women’s Championship and a hard-hitting, skin-ripping stipulation. Plus, with two of the most exciting high-flying teams competing for the number one contendership to the AEW World Tag Team Championships and a mystery team to be announced, Wednesday’s not going to be a slow warm-up to Sydney.
AEW Women’s World Championship
Since her debut last year, the Toxic Spider has been a menace. A domineering force in the women’s division, with the resilience and ability to hang on, as her arachnid moniker suggests. Skilful, deadly, and opportunistic, Thekla refuses to let Kris Statlander out of her web. Despite a defeat to the Cosmic Killer in a fair one-on-one contest, Thekla will not move on until Statlander becomes toxic.
The alliance between the Triangle of Madness, Megan Bayne, and Penelope Ford ruined the Babes of Wrath’s post-match celebration on Collision. The powerful heels have gotten what they wanted: matches for gold. Thekla gets her second chance.
Arguably, their first match should have been the main event. On this Grand Slam warm-up, hopefully, AEW will learn from that previous mistake. An explosive contest indeed. Add the strap stipulation; this match is going to be close, intense, and violent. Statlander is no stranger to violence. Her classic Chicago Street Fight with Willow Nightingale at All Out 2024 was a violent splendour. We’ve seen both women use plunder during the first women’s Blood and Guts match.
However, Thekla in close quarters could subdue the Cosmic Killer. Plus, with the potential interference and numbers, is Big Stat Daddy about to find herself outgunned and outwitted? Or does the Galaxy’s Greatest Alien have a plan?

3-Way Number One Contenders Tag Team Action
The Young Bucks defeated GOA and are hoping to once again get the chance to face FTR for another classic instalment of their rivalry. One of their opponents, the recently debuted and undefeated Rascalz, implies we’re going to get a spot-heavy, superkick party in California. Expect a heavy dose of PWG-inspired madness.
While we do not know the other teams, there’s a wealth of possibilities. Do the AEW World Trios champions, JetSpeed, get added to the mix? Potentially to set up their first trio’s defence? There’s still outstanding beef with FTR and GOA.
What about the Bang Bang Gang? Or newcomers Alex Price and Jordan Oliver, getting an opportunity to put themselves on the map? Does the Don Callis Family have enough members to send another tag team combo into the fray? Or will we see the debut of a new team, or an established pairing from one of AEW’s partnership promotions?
The tag team division in 2026 has depth and options that the ranks lacked in 2025.
