Three titles changed hands at Redemption last night as AEW crowned new TBS, Women’s, and National champions in Montreal.
Maya World was the first one to force a title switch, defeating the TBS champion Hikaru Shida. This is World’s first title in AEW and the surprise finish ended Shida’s reign after just 25 days, winning it during a Survival of the Fittest match on the July 1 episode of Dynamite.
Andrade El Idolo also left Montreal with some extra added weight, defeating Mark Davis to become the new AEW National champion. Just like Maya World, this was Andrade’s first singles title win in AEW and Davis lost the title after 78 days as champion.
And last and certainly not least, Willow Nightingale won the AEW Women’s title after she beat Thekla. Nightingale surrendered the TBS title several weeks ago due to an injury and returned in time to earn a title shot for the AEW Women’s title. With this win, Nightingale became the first-ever women’s Grand Slam champion, winning all the women titles available in AEW.
Thekla lasted 165 days as women’s champion, winning it from Kris Statlander in Dynamite back in February.
