The first AEW Battle of the Belts featured Dr. Britt Baker DMD vs. Riho for the AEW Women’s World Championship in the main event.
Elsewhere on the card, Sammy Guevara defeated Dustin Rhodes to become Interim TNT Champion and Ricky Starks defended the FTW Championship.
The second edition will see Thunder Rosa defend the AEW Women’s World Title against Nyla Rose, Jonathan Gresham vs. Dalton Castle for the ROH World Title and a TNT Title rematch with Scorpio Sky vs. Sammy Guevara.
Although the headline spot for the women’s gold is great to see, the first two Battle of the Belts has lacked significant star power.
When you have a roster featuring CM Punk, Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley, Chris Jericho and MJF, it seems extremely shortsighted to not feature any of them on these specials.
Tony Khan has recently been featuring big matches on Rampage to help the show’s ratings, so fans need this type of concentrated effort to put top stars on for these quarterly events as well.
