With the entire wrestling world breaking doors left and right, AEW is continuing to set its sights towards Forbidden Door with more buildup on tonight’s Dynamite.

TBS Champion, Mercedes Moné, is scheduled to defend her title against Zeuxis, the Inaugural CMLL Women’s Tag Team Champion along with Stephanie Vaquer. Vaquer and Moné are set to go title for title with both the TBS Championship and NJPW Strong Women’s Championship on the line. But, Moné has to get through Zeuxis first.

The match gets started and quickly Zeuxis out speeds Moné with her Lucha style. But, the athlete in Moné learns to adapt to her style quickly. They both make it out to the ring, and Moné throws an arm drag from the announce table.

Zeuxis powers through it and goes airborne on Moné to turn the match around.

The two are back and forth as Zeuxis tries to use her power to her advantage, but the prowess of Moné seems to find ways to counter her offense each time. Zeuxis then hits a devastating Angel Wings setup into the double knees and that looks to be it, but Moné miraculously kicks out.

Zeuxis tries to hit the moonsault but misses. Moné then floats over Zeuxis to setup the Moné Maker and get the win.

Next, we take a look at a video package featuring STARDOM’s Mina Shirakawa along with Mariah May. Shirakawa is set to face “Timeless” Toni Storm for her AEW Women’s World Championship at Forbidden Door. 

Renee Paquette is backstage with both Storm and her usual entourage. May thanks Storm for entering her in the Owen Hart Tournament, and announces that a contract signing will be held with Shirakawa and Storm with May as the host. Before we get to the contract signing next week, Storm will face off against Alex Windsor this Friday on Rampage.
