Divine Dominion, Megan Bayne and Lena Kross, had a tricky task on their hands on the April 29 episode of “AEW Dynamite” as they looked to make one other defense of the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championships. They faced off with two former AEW Women’s World Champions in the shape of Kris Statlander and Hikaru Shida, who were undefeated as a team heading into this match. Nevertheless, they weren’t undefeated by the top of the night as Divine Dominion successfully defended their crowns.
The story of the match was that the champions had their chemistry nailed down, while the challengers weren’t exactly on the identical page. Shida attempted to make use of her patented kendo stick at one point, just for Statlander to stop it. That resulted in Shida literally Suplexing her partner on to Bayne out of frustration which did briefly give them some control, but Divine Dominion were in a position to keep Statlander isolated throughout the industrial break.
Coming out of the break, Statlander fired back with a double Hurricanrana on the champions and at last got to tag in Shida. She would go toe-to-toe with Kross to provide her team the advantage, even delivering a double Knee Strike and a double Drop Kick off the apron to each Kross and Bayne. Statlander got the blind tag after Shida got hit with a Thrust Kick but she was quickly overwhelmed and the champions were on top of things. Nevertheless, a series of moves saw Statlander hit a 450 Splash on each members of Divine Dominion for a near fall.
Shida hit the Meteora and the Falcon Arrow on Kross, but when she went for the Katana, she was met with a Suplex from Bayne, and once Kross got back to her feet, the champions hit Divine Intervention for the victory, retaining their titles in the method.
