Momo Watanabe Makes Surprise Appearance at AEW Grand Slam Australia

Saturday’s taped AEW Collision Grand Slam Australia show at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre in Brisbane, Australia featured Stardom talent Momo Watanabe making a surprise appearance.

Prior to the start of the TBS Championship match between Harley Cameron and Mercedes Mone, Watanabe was shown seated at ringside in the crowd.

Following Mercedes Mone’s victory over Harley Cameron to retain her TBS Championship, Mone left the ring and confronted as she held up her collection of title belts. This led to Watanabe sarcastically clapping in response and Mone shoving her TBS title into Watanabe’s face before leaving.

Watanabe currently holds a future shot at any Women’s championship of her choice in New Japan, Stardom, CMLL, ROH, and AEW due to her winning the International Women’s Cup at this past January’s NJPW x AEW Wrestle Dynasty event.

Kenny Omega Challenges Konosuke Takeshita for AEW International Title and Will Ospreay Challenges Kyle Fletcher to Steel Cage Matches at Revolution 2025

Saturday’s AEW Grand Slam Australia show also featured two new potential matches for AEW Revolution 2025, which takes place on March 9th at the Cyrpto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California.

The first new match announced was an AEW International Championship match of Kenny Omega vs. Konosuke Takeshita (c).
