Willow Nightingale returned to Dynamite yesterday as the mystery participant in the Casino Gauntlet match to determine a new number one contender for the AEW Women’s title.
This was Nightingale’s first match since mid-May after she suffered a shoulder injury which led to her surrendering the TBS title and getting booted from the Owen Hart Cup tournament.
Nightingale won the Casino Gauntlet match which also included Athena, Maya World, Skye Blue, Mina Shirakawa, Rina, Julia Hart, and Thunder Rosa.
She now faces AEW Women’s champion Thekla at the upcoming Redemption pay-per-view, where the winner takes on Mercedes Mone at All In.
A new TBS champion, the title which she relinquished, was just crowned nine days ago.
