Willow Nightingale made the long trip back from London, England to compete on the March 11 episode of “AEW Dynamite,” where she put her AEW TBS Championship on the road against Persephone. Nightingale might need made a defense of her crown against Nina Samuels at EVE’s Wrestle Queendom 8 over the weekend, but Persephone had a giant weekend of her own as she dethroned Mercedes Mone to grow to be the CMLL World Women’s Champion on March 6. Nevertheless, it was Nightingale who managed to walk out of San Jose, California with the TBS Championship round her waist, and he or she even made a challenge for some more title matches in spite of everything was said and done.
A back-and-forth opening saw each women feeling one another out, not wanting to present up any opportunities to their opponent. Nevertheless, it was Persephone’s strength that caught Nightingale off guard multiple times through out the match, even with the ability to deadlift the champion off the bottom to slam her down. Persephone didn’t just have strength in her locker, she had some high-flying to go with it as she got here near getting the win with a Springboard Moonsault in the middle of the ring. With that said, Nightingale also desired to prove that she was comfortable taking to the sky as she was capable of hit a running Cannonball off the apron.
Nightingale did go to the well one time too often as she missed a giant Moonsault off the highest rope, with the challenger taking her to the opposite corner to try to deliver a Sunset Flip Powerbomb. Persephone looked to have the match within the bag within the dying moments when she had Nightingale in position for a Crucifix Bomb, but Nightingale was capable of wriggle her way out of it and right into a Backslide position, where she slid the challenger down and pinned Persephone’s shoulders down for the win. Persephone was left stunned as Nightingale had her hand raised in victory.
After the match, Nightingale cut a promo backstage with Harley Cameron where she was fired up after an action-packed week, and he or she desires to up the stakes with Revolution coming this Sunday. Nightingale not only desires to defend the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championships against Megan Bayne and Lena Kross at Revolution, but she also desires to defend the TBS Championship against Kross on the Zero Hour pre-show before the pay-per-view officially kicks off. Each matches were later made official by AEW President Tony Khan.
