Former TBS Champion and 2023 women’s Owen Hart Foundation tournament winner Willow Nightingale has advanced to the semifinals of this year’s tournament.

Nightingale defeated Serena Deeb in the main event of Friday’s AEW Rampage to move to the semifinals against former friend, rival and fellow former TBS Champion Kris Statlander.

Nightingale picked up the win after a pounce and her trademark power bomb to end the first-ever meeting between herself and Deeb. The date for her eventual clash with Statlander hasn’t been announced.

After Nightingale lost her TBS title to Mercedes Mone at May’s Double or Nothing, Statlander turned on Nightingale after the match and has continued to align with Stokely Hathaway.

On the other side of the women’s bracket, Mariah May will face Saraya while Hikaru Shida will go one-on-one with Deonna Purrazzo — both of which don’t have announced dates as of this writing.

The finals of the tournament will be on Wednesday, July 10th in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

If Nightingale wins, she will become the first-ever two-time winner of the tournament.
