Last month, President Tony Khan unveiled the brand new AEW women’s world tag team championship. A tournament will be held to determine the inaugural champions, and the bracket is set to be officially revealed tonight on Dynamite. The first AEW team that jumps out to me as the early favorite to win the new belts are Mina Shirakawa and former AEW Women’s World Champion “Timeless” Toni Storm. An argument can be made that Toni is the biggest star in the company, while Mina’s overwhelming charisma and popularity cannot be denied. Both women were down in the dumps at WrestleDream after recently losing all of their championship gold, so it’s time for them to climb back to the mountaintop with a tournament win. If Tony Khan wants to give the new titles instant credibility and send fans the message that these belts won’t be an afterthought, then strapping Toni and Mina seems like a no-brainer decision.

Some of the other teams in the field may include Harley Cameron & Willow Nightingale, Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford, Anna Jay & Tay Melo, Billie Starkz and ROH Women’s World Champion Athena, Deonna Purrazzo & Taya Valkyrie, and any two members of the Triangle of Madness (Julia Hart, Thekla, Skye Blue). Tune into Dynamite to see the full bracket reveal for the AEW women’s world tag team championship tournament, and (hopefully) a schedule for when the matches will take place.
