Statlander ⁣Retains, then Turns on allies

The September 24, 2025, episode of AEW Dynamite culminated in a hard-fought AEW Women’s World Championship match. Reigning champion Kris Statlander successfully defended her title against Mina Shirakawa.

Shirakawa focused her attack‍ on statlander’s ⁤legs, attempting a leg submission that Statlander narrowly escaped. The challenger continued to target the champion’s⁢ lower body with strikes before attempting a figure-four leglock, which Statlander countered with a creative seatbelt pinning combination for the win.

An Unexpected Betrayal

The immediate aftermath of the match ⁢saw a surprising display of camaraderie, with Wheeler Yuta,⁤ Claudio Castagnoli,⁣ Daniel Garcia, PAC, and⁤ Harley Cameron all congratulating Statlander. Though, this unity ⁢quickly dissolved. After a⁣ brief embrace with Yuta,statlander shockingly delivered a clothesline,turning⁣ on her allies.

Statlander further antagonized the group by ⁢evading a clothesline from ‍Marina Shafir and flipping off Jon ‍Moxley before leaving the ring.

Allin Challenges Moxley for WrestleDream

The escalating tension drew the attention of⁣ Darby Allin, who‍ arrived ⁤wielding a flame thrower, forcing Moxley and the rest of the group to retreat. Allin then issued a⁣ direct challenge to Moxley: an “I Quit” match at AEW’s upcoming WrestleDream pay-per-view.

Event Details

AEW WrestleDream is scheduled for October⁢ 18, 2025, at the Chaifetz Arena in St. ⁣Louis, Missouri. This ‍event promises to be a pivotal moment for AEW,particularly ‍given the brewing conflict between Allin and Moxley.
