Last week, the introduction TBS Championship was made on DYNAMITE and several woman immediately staked their claim, verbally at least, for why they are deserving entrants into the tournament taking place in 2022 in accordance with the move to TBS on January 5th. Serena Deeb, with her violent victory over Hikaru Shida, was the first woman to make a statement in the ring, but she would be followed by Jade Cargill on RAMPAGE last Friday, then by Penelope Ford, Tay Conti, and Ruby Soho on DARK: ELEVATION a few days ago, as well as KiLynn King on AEW DARK this past Tuesday.
Although the tournament is still a bit in the future, clearly it is already a matter of importance to the women of the AEW roster, clearly it is already on the radar of AEW Women’s World Champion Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D, and as evidenced by those names listed above, the hunt to become the first TBS Champion is already underway in their minds. And that is what brings us to this bout right here between 2021 Women’s Casino Battle Royale winner Ruby Soho and The HFO’s Bunny! The war of words has already begun on social media, and if the venom spewed in text is any indication of what these fighters will bring to the ring on Friday night, the fans are in store for a helluva fight.
It is unquestionable that Ruby was shafted in her World Title fight with the Good Doctor, can she rebound as the bids for TBS Title Tournament slots get underway? Or will The Bunny deliver on her promise to drag “The Runaway” deep down the rabbit hole? Tune into RAMPAGE this Friday night for all the action!
Tay Conti vs. Santana Garrett
On October 5th, Santana Garrett made her in-ring debut for All Elite Wrestling and she did not hesitate to step inside the squared circle with one of the toughest women in the game in Diamante. Garrett may have lost the fight, but she left an impression on AEW fans and the other wrestlers as well. This Friday night, as part of the RAMPAGE: BUY-IN on YouTube, Santana will get another chance to make an impression when she battles another of the strongest competitors in the Women’s Division: Tay Conti! Much like the battle between Ruby Soho and The Bunny, this one will no doubt have implications on the TBS Title picture as it begins to coalesce heading into 2022. Conti, since her AEW debut, has developed into one of the premier athletes on the roster and has eyes on that TBS Title to solidify her position as one of the best!
