AEW is still dealing with the ramifications of CM Punk getting injured right after his AEW world title victory, and now another champion has gotten injured.
The current AEW Women\'s Champion Thunder Rosa announced in a backstage segment tonight that she won\'t be able to defend her title at the upcoming All Out PPV and an interim champion will be crowned at the show:
\"I for today have to step down as the Women\'s World Champion. I\'m no longer able to defend the Championship due to an injury. So on September 4, at All Out, there will be a new interim world champion.\"

AEW has since announced a fatal four-way match among Toni Storm, Britt Baker, Jamie Hayter, and Hikaru Shida to crown the Interim Women\'s Champion at All Out.
There is no word yet on what kind of injury Thunder Rosa is dealing with. So it\'s hard to say how long she\'ll stay out of action.
Stay tuned for more updates on her health.
