While AEW’s women’s division has been criticized for being largely an afterthought, this week’s Dynamite looked to address that issue directly with some exciting matches and angles. After a match between Hikaru Shida\u00a0<\/strong>and the newly signed<\/a> Kris Statlander,\u00a0<\/strong>it was time for Brandi and Awesome Kong to finally address the questions we all have been asking about their attacks and growing collections of hair from the women in AEW.<\/p>\n

Announcing their duo as The<\/strong> Nightmare Collective<\/strong>, in her words “an extension of The Nightmare Family<\/strong>“, they offered Kris a spot in the “growing family” by offering up her allegiance and pledging to the collective. Not knowing what the entailed and being put on the spot, Statlander seemingly declined. Thus leading to an interesting moment where a “fan” decided to pledge in her place leading to her hair being cut by Awesome Kong and Brandi. But as we saw at Full Gear,<\/a> not everything is quite always as it seems.<\/p>\n
