Yes, we can speculate and wonder what will happen next with FTR. We can wonder what might be next for The Don Callis Family after Kyle Fletcher\u2019s defeat at the hands of Hangman Adam Page. Maybe a storyline will develop between Megan Bayne and Anna Jay. We\u2019ll see if the latter\u2019s former tag team partner comes to the rescue.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past few months, AEW\u2019s gamble on the quality of its matches, wrestlers, and storylines has <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2025\/03\/05\/5-signs-that-aew-creative-is-turning-the-corner\/\" target=\"_self\">only helped their creative turnaround. <\/a>\u00a0Central to this has been a core cast of wrestlers serving up bangers and character development.<\/p>\n<p>Three of whom are going to set this dance alight.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><u>Matches Announced:<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>AEW Women\u2019s World Championship Eliminator Match: \u201cTimeless\u201d Toni Storm vs. Lady Frost<\/li>\n<li>Harley Cameron vs. Megan Bayne<\/li>\n<li>Josh Alexander vs. Brody King.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong><u>Another Timeless Performance<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Putting the AEW Women\u2019s World Champion, \u201cTimeless\u201d Toni Storm, in weekly competition now, The Owen Hart Tournament finals await is a clever way to present one of the company\u2019s top stars. Storm\u2019s contest last week against Queen Aminata allowed the latter to develop her journey. Storm\u2019s outing against TJPW\u2019s Miyu Yamashita was dynamic and memorable.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing Storm take a literal ass-kicking this week has made me and others wonder if the Eliminator concept may be used to set up Storm\u2019s next challenger? At the least, it provides the champion consistent screen time. Given how Storm <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2024\/05\/20\/how-aews-timeless-toni-storm-achieved-what-wwes-fiend-could-not\/\" target=\"_self\">has mastered and perfected the character after various trials and errors<\/a>, you&#8217;ve got to give the people what they want.<\/p>\n<p>Lady Frost, in terms of her AEW record, isn\u2019t likely to get the upset. Yet with her athleticism and finesse, her icy, cool character contrasted with Storm\u2019s mania is going to make spaces between moves sing. More memorable moments, yes. More time <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2025\/02\/14\/the-spotlight-issue-timeless-toni-storm-vs-mariah-may\/\" target=\"_self\">for the women to address the spotlight issue<\/a>. Yes, please, and at least twice on Saturdays.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><u>Josh Alexander vs. Brody King <\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Like \u201cSpeedball\u201d Mike Bailey and Kevin Knight, Josh Alexander has seamlessly become part of the fabric of AEW\u2019s dynamic midcard. While crowded, each man\u2019s uniqueness has helped them stand out. In contrast to Bailey and Knight, Alexander\u2019s technical prowess and power have been displayed alongside The Don Callis Family.<\/p>\n<p>Alexander took \u201cHangman\u201d Adam Page by surprise before, during, and after the match. Since then, Alexander\u2019s involvement in The Don Callis Family has seen the former TNA World Champion as an equal, teaming with Konosuke Takeshita. However, facing Brody King again, this time without a tag team partner, will be bruising.<\/p>\n<p>Brody King\u2019s 2025 run of form has been phenomenal in between the bells. The issue is the win-loss record where it counts. It\u2019s a partner of booking we\u2019ve seen before, even with Konosuke Takeshita during his \u201crookie\u201d spell. It feels like King, like Lady Frost, will take the L.<\/p>\n<p>The chances of a banger are high, but the aftermath could be used to set up whatever\u2019s next for each party.<\/p>\n<h2>More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/h2>\n<p><em>Header photo \u2013 AEW \u2013 Stay tun<\/em><em>ed to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" data-linkindex=\"1\" target=\"_self\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a> for more on AEW Collision and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
