Valkyrie’s victory celebration was cut short by The Outcasts’ Toni Storm and Saraya who came out to confront Valkyrie in the ring and insulted Valkyrie for being a Canadian loser. This led to a Looney Tunes style back-and-forth banter between Valkyrie and Storm resulting in Storm accepting to put her AEW Women’s title on the line against Valkyrie at Battle of the Belts VII.

Is Toni Storm worried about putting her #AEW Women’s World Title on the line against Taya Valkyrie TOMORROW NIGHT at Battle of the Belts VII?

The second new match announced is an AEW International Championship match of Lance Archer vs. Orange Cassidy (c).

This match was setup following Archer’s victory over Trent Beretta on the show. After the match, Archer attacked Beretta’s tag team partner Chuck Taylor and got on the mic demanding Cassidy come out and accept his challenge for an AEW International title match or else he’d kill the Best Friends. Cassidy then came out and was quickly attacked by Archer. Before Archer could continue, Jake Roberts interrupted and told Archer to not hurt the golden goose until this Saturday’s Battle of the Belts VII show. Roberts then insulted Cassidy before walking away.

TOMORROW NIGHT at Battle of the Belts VII, Orange Cassidy will face the “Murderhawk Monster” Lance Archer for the #AEW International Championship title that Jake “The Snake” Roberts just stole!

Willow Nightingale Advances to Finals of 2023 Women’s Owen Hart Cup Tournament

Friday’s Rampage show in Saskatoon also featured Willow Nightingale defeating in a Semifinals Round match for this year’s Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Cup tournament.

The finish to this match involved Athena hitting a series of chops to Nightingale only for Nightingale to shrug it off and deliver a body slam in return. Nightingale attempted to hit a Swanton Bomb onto Athena only for Athena to dodge and hit a standing moonsault and a crossface right after. Nightingale was able to escape the hold by countering it into an Inside Cradle for a near fall and then hit a Death Valley Driver right afterwards for another near fall. Athena managed to setup Nightingale for an overhead Code Breaker only for Nightingale to escape as Athena was falling downwards. This led to Nightingale quickly doing an Inside Cradle for the pinfall victory and advancing to the finals of this year’s Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Cup tournament.

After an absolutely amazing match, Willow Nightengale gets the win and advances #OwenHartFoundation Tournament to face Ruby Soho TOMORROW NIGHT on #AEWCollsion on TNT!
