AEW has confirmed that Mariah May will defend the AEW Women’s World Championship against Mina Shirakawa at Winter is Coming 2024. The event will take place on December 11 at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Missouri, airing live on TBS.

This match comes with added tension after Mina Shirakawa’s recent attack on Mariah May at Full Gear, where Shirakawa ambushed the champion. May now looks to settle the score while retaining her title, but Shirakawa’s calculated aggression positions her as a dangerous challenger.

As one of AEW’s signature Dynamite specials, Winter is Coming has consistently delivered significant matches, and this year’s championship bout continues that tradition. Further announcements about the event are expected as the date approaches.
