In the official AEW rankings released today, Deeb was ranked third in the women’s division behind second-ranked Thunder Rosa, and top contender Layla Hirsch. All three top contenders have yet to lose a singles match to this point in 2022. AEW Women’s World Champion Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. is 1-0 in singles matches this year, while TBS Champion Jade Cargill is 4-0 in singles matches in 2022.
Cargill defending her TBS title against the debuting AQA was another late add to tonight’s Dynamite. AQA is a graduate of Booker T’s Reality of Wrestling school and promotion in Texas. She wrestled in NXT under the name Zayda Ramier prior to her November 2021 release, though her last match with WWE came in June 2021.
