What an exciting match-up between two fan favorites as each aims toward advancing in the TBS Women’s Title Tournament! Each was stifled by Dr. Britt Baker recently in bids to become AEW Women’s World Champion, although to be fair the entourage certainly played a part in the Good Doctor surviving their challenges, and now each is focused on being the first TBS Women’s Champion!
While Statlander earned a bye in the first round due to her spot in the rankings, Ruby Soho had to defeat Penelope Ford last month in the opening match of the entire tournament. The difference between that match for “The Runaway” and this contest is night-and-day; the first round match was one in which Ruby had to worry about Ford’s partner The Bunny getting involved and Ford likely trying to cut corners to get a win. This fight is one about professional wrestling, it is about proving who is the better woman, and about who wants the TBS Women’s Title more. Each will likely have fans in their corner, rallying behind either Kris and Ruby to advance, and in the end regardless of which woman wins, the loser will likely show support for the victor.
As for the spoils waiting for said victor, that would be a Semi-Final fight with “The Native Beast” Nyla Rose!
