Women’s World title match booked for AEW Dynamite Grand Slam

The AEW Women’s World Championship will be on the line at Grand Slam on September 25.

AEW’s Tony Khan announced in a social media post late Wednesday that Mariah May will defned her AEW Women’s title against Yuka Sakazaki at Dynamite Grand Slam set for Wednesday, September 25 at Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens.

Sakazaki had her first match on Dynamite since 2021 on this week’s episode, teaming with Queen Aminata to defeat May and Serena Deeb by disqualification in tag team action. May hit Sakazaki with her title belt for the DQ to set up next week’s title defense.

The Women’s World title match was announced for the Dynamite portion of the card, as have the JOn Moxley vs. Darby Allin, Bryan Danielson vs. Nigel McGuinness, and The Young Bucks vs. Will Ospreay & Kyle Fletcher bouts. Collision Grand Slam is being taped the same night, with multiple bouts seemingly in a flex position that could take place on either show.
