Last appearing in Japan back at NJPW Strong Independence Day last July, Nightingale lost the Strong Women’s Championship at that event to Giulia.

Nightingale won the championship back at AEW Dynasty last month, defeating Julia Hart. Since then, she has continued to defend the title. On last week’s AEW Rampage, she defeated former friend Skye Blue in a Manitoba Massacre match, a falls count anywhere match that ended when Nightingale gave Blue a doctor bomb through a barbed wire table.

A match between Nightingale and Mercedes Mone is currently scheduled for AEW Double or Nothing in Las Vegas on May 26. The two will meet in a contract signing that will take place on this coming Wednesday’s Dynamite.
