Women’s World title eliminator booked for AEW Battle of the Belts XII
Women’s World Champion Mariah May will face a potential future title challenger at AEW Battle of the Belts XII.
As announced Wednesday night, May will take on Anna Jay in a Women’s World title eliminator bout at AEW Battle of the Belts XII airing Saturday night, October 19 on TNT following Collision. The match was set up with a backstage altercation between the two during Wednesday’s Dynamite that saw Jay strike authority figure Christopher Daniels by mistake as he attempted to separate the pair.
Jay is 2-0 in AEW since returning from an excursion to Japan where she competed in Stardom’s 5 Star Grand Prix.
May has defended her title three times since defeating Toni Storm for the bet at All In in August, scoring victories over Nyla Rose, Yuka Sakazaki, and Willow Nightingale.
Saturday’s Battle of the Belts XII special is being taped Thursday night, October 17 alongside Saturday’s Collision episode.
