First Women’s Title Defense Announced For AEW On TNT Week 3

Another match announcement.

AEW was back it on Thursday with an announcement for the third episode of their weekly television show on TNT.

The promotion confirmed that the Women’s World Championship will be on the line on this show in Philadelphia on October 16 at the Liacouras Center. 

As of this writing, the competitors weren’t announced and that’s expected due to a previous announcement being made. 

The promotion will crown its first women’s champion on their TNT television debut. AEW Chief Brand Officer Brandi Rhodes confirmed the news in a statement to Sports Illustrated earlier this month. 

Britt Baker, Kylie Rae and Allie, Awesome Kong, and Nyla Rose are just some of the notable members of the roster for AEW. 

On Wednesday, AEW confirmed the World Heavyweight Title will be on the line on the third episode as well but those competitors weren’t listed either.
