00:00A pink crown, with a purple, it's hysterical, it's nuts.
00:07This is a trios tag team match set for one fall with a 20 minute time limit.
00:11Introducing first, being accompanied by Luther, Mariah May, and the AEW Women's World Champion,
00:21Timeless, Toni Storm.
00:23Well, there's a lot of threads to watch in this match.
00:29Timeless, Toni Storm, and Mariah May did come out of the tunnel with Timeless, Toni Storm,
00:36but I think, yeah, I think she, I just looked over my left shoulder,
00:40Mariah, I think, went back through the tunnel.
00:43Out, in, in, out, you know, back and forth.
00:48That's what you do in tunnels, kids.
00:49Yes, you go back and forth.
00:50Yeah.
00:52And their partner, being accompanied by Mariah May, from Tokyo, Japan, Mina Shirakawa.
01:00Crazy dance routine right there.
01:02Mina Shirakawa and Mariah May, long time tag team partners in stardom in Japan,
01:07and we should do this when we come out, you and I.
01:09Well, we could have said we'd do it, but that's true.
01:13But this Sunday, at Forbidden Door, it will be Mina Shirakawa and Timeless, Toni Storm,
01:19for the AEW Women's World Championship, with Mariah May stuck in the middle.
01:25Her tag team partner, Mina Shirakawa, her mentor, Timeless, Toni Storm.
01:32Yeah, I don't know what Mariah's gonna do.
01:35It's an emotionally charged situation.
01:37Yeah.
01:38Well, Mariah seems happy, though.
01:39I mean, as long as Mariah's happy.
01:42And their opponent, the team of Anna Jay, Harley Cameron, and Surya.
01:55Well, we saw Anna Jay, one week ago, attacking Timeless, Toni Storm, Mina Shirakawa,
02:04and Mariah May.
02:05Anna's had her fair share of issues with all three of her opponents here tonight.
02:11Now finding some common cause with Harley Cameron and Surya.
02:15And, you know, this could be something of an audition for Anna Jay in the outcast, maybe.
02:21Could be.
02:22Could be.
02:23I mean, though, being aligned with someone like Surya is always a good thing.
02:29You're gonna learn a ton.
02:30You're gonna really bring out your intensity.
02:33You have to.
02:34And Anna, we've seen her, and Harley, too.
02:36They have no problem with that.
02:37Remember Surya, former EW Women's World Champion.
02:41She won the title at All-in-One at Wembley Stadium last year.
02:47She will be competing in the first round of the Owen Hart Foundation Women's Tournament.
02:51And the overall winner of the tournament will go on to Wembley Stadium later this summer
02:55to challenge for the EW Women's World Championship.
02:57And Surya's first-round opponent is Mariah May.
03:01Yeah, well, that itself tells you right there.
03:03Mina, going over Anna Jay, who's looking for the trip, as Anna catches the lariat attempt,
03:11rolls Mina around.
03:12Mina lands on her feet.
03:13Swing and a miss.
03:14And hashtag WeWantMina trending already as the sweep sends Anna down to her backside,
03:23kicked across the spine from Mina Shirkala.
03:26I think Mina tries to bait her opponents in while she's showboating a lot.
03:30She tries to pull her opponents in to, you know, rush something and then gets caught.
03:35Anna, swing and a miss.
03:37Wild swing.
03:38And did get caught by Mina Shirkala, who comes off the ropes.
03:42And Tagiri knocks Anna Jay down to the mat.
03:46Now we see the graphic at the bottom of your screen.
03:48Timeless Toni Storm, Mina Shirkala.
03:50This Sunday for the EW Women's World Championship at Forbidden Door.
03:53And Mina electing to tag in Mariah May instead of Timeless Toni Storm.
03:58And Anna Jay just got sandwiched by that drop kick.
04:03That's how we celebrate, Tess.
04:05Similar.
04:06Similar.
04:10Timeless Toni Storm, I thought she had rollers in her hair.
04:13She's got that bold curl to the hair that women call a bold curl.
04:18She had rollers like my mother used to wear back in the day.
04:20I don't know what kind of rollers your mother used to wear.
04:24Well, Harley Cameron right now hammering Mariah May with those elbow strikes.
04:28Harley accelerates to the ropes.
04:30But Mariah taking Harley for a ride.
04:35Spinning around and driving her down.
04:38Good power there by Mariah.
04:40And then we caught a look at Mariah May's first round opponent
04:42in the Owen Hart Foundation Women's Tournament.
04:44Hold on, who's she going to tag?
04:47Pick up time now, Mariah.
04:51Oh, she just, both Mina and Toni Storm said she's mine.
04:55It's kind of like a tie on the tag.
04:58Anna Jay just sweeping Toni Storm off the apron.
05:01Mina Shiroko going hard into the barricade.
05:04And this is coming unglued.
05:06And we're going to stick with it all in picture in picture.
05:13Harley Cameron takes Mariah May off her feet.
05:15The leg is hooked and Mariah May able to kick out.
05:19Yeah, good kick out.
05:21You can see right there that Harley, she's got a mean streak in her.
05:25This lady does.
05:26I'll tell you that right now.
05:28And tonight we're going to hear from the TBS champion right there, Mercedes.
05:31That's still to come.
05:32Mercedes Mane, who just this past weekend made an appearance at Arena Mexico in Mexico City.
05:39Getting eye to eye with Stephanie Becker, the New Japan Strong Women's Champion.
05:46The woman that will face the CEO Mercedes Mane this Sunday at Forbidden Door.
05:52It's title versus title.
05:53Look at those knee strikes, so many knees by Soraya.
05:57The intensity into the face and chest region of Mariah May.
06:01Wow.
06:02Soraya could be looking to soften up her first round opponent,
06:04the Owen Hark Foundation Women's Tournament.
06:09Axe kick there by Harley Cameron.
06:13A second one.
06:20Flexible legs there.
06:21Flying around like crazy.
06:23And now bouncing the head of Mariah May off the canvas.
06:28Cover, but Mariah May able to kick out.
06:34And a J.
06:36Very violent.
06:37All about violence.
06:39Oh, I mean, intrinsically, it has professional wrestling in the black.
06:43Oh, I love, I love that about it.
06:44It's all about violence.
06:45I think it's great.
06:52But now, Soraya taking advantage of the referee having her back turned.
06:57As Aubrey Edwards, not seeing what's happening here.
07:00Soraya.
07:15Oh, Mariah May though.
07:16Explosive elbow, but Harley Cameron hammering down.
07:20Some shots of her own.
07:21Yeah.
07:28Harley trying to bait Toni Storm and Mina Shirakawa into the ring.
07:32But now, Mariah May isolated, you know, Rose Mariah turning things around.
07:38Overhand chop.
07:45Action continues live tonight on Dynamite.
07:47I'm Excalibur, joined by Taz.
07:49And we are witnessing a trios match.
07:51The AEW Women's Division.
07:53A lot of threads.
07:56Going through the threads, as we mentioned.
07:59Mariah May and Soraya, they will meet in the opening round of the Owen Hart
08:02Foundation Women's Tournament.
08:03And those two women will meet this Sunday on pay-per-view.
08:08I'm talking about Toni Storm and Mina Shirakawa for the AEW Women's World
08:12Championship at Forbidden Door.
08:13A tripartist tonight, but not at Forbidden Door this weekend.
08:17And look at Toni Storm here.
08:19Uh-oh, uh-oh.
08:20By Soraya.
08:21Low arc on the German suplex.
08:23Soraya a bit rattled by that one.
08:25And time with Toni Storm.
08:26She's timeless, damn it.
08:27Oh, the boot for Harley Cameron.
08:29And a hip attack for Soraya.
08:33Tagged a selfie.
08:34Did Mina Shirakawa right now.
08:38A little communication breakdown between Mina and Toni Storm.
08:41And Soraya looking to take advantage of that.
08:43Trying to make the crawl to the corner.
08:44And Soraya made the escape, made the tag.
08:49And Harley Cameron comes in.
08:50Into the midsection, the backstabber on Shirakawa.
08:55Harley, the near-leg hook.
08:57Did you notice that?
08:58Toni Storm didn't move a muscle to make the save.
09:01Yeah.
09:01It was Mariah May that made the save.
09:04Lands the headbutt and a chain.
09:06Oh, what a flatliner.
09:07And Toni Storm, though, coming in a flurry of punches.
09:11But Soraya with the kick.
09:13Soraya did not let Toni Storm get rolling on top of Anna.
09:17Shut her down quick.
09:18Mina Shirakawa, the spinning backfist.
09:22Harley Cameron intercepts the punch.
09:25Mina intercepted the boot.
09:27A second backfist.
09:29And now Mina Shirakawa.
09:32Harley Cameron, center of the ring.
09:34Mina, chopper, covers.
09:38The leg is hooked.
09:40And Mina Shirakawa scores the win.
09:44Toni Storm, Mariah May, and Mina Shirakawa.
09:48Oh, she goes into forbidden door now with momentum.
09:53And I don't think that Toni Storm's too happy that Mina has that momentum.
09:59And Mina Shirakawa with the momentum and perhaps the champagne toast.
10:03It's actually from Mariah May.
10:05It's mimosa, I believe.
10:07I don't see any orange juice on your toes.
10:09It's locale.
10:10But we're gonna have a drink here.
10:12I don't know.
10:12A toast between the champion and the challenger, Shudnick.
10:19The dance moves by Toni Storm.
10:21She's got some moves.
10:23I mean, she did a tremendous dance.
10:24You can tell, look at her.
10:25Dances like Travolta in the 80s.
10:28Oh, watch out.
10:28What the hell is this?
10:30She's gonna nail him.
10:31Oh!
10:33Oh, my God.
10:34Wow!
10:37And inadvertently, Mina just-
10:49Mina's tag partner and Toni Storm's protege.
10:58She looks pissed, man.
11:00As if this match at forbidden door
11:04didn't already have enough riding on it.
11:07Timeless Tony Storm, Nina Shirakawa
11:09needing to be separated by the officials.
11:13I think we're gonna need the medical team
11:14to check on Mariah May.
11:15She's got a lot of work.
11:16Yeah, I definitely think so.
11:19Nina Shirakawa.
11:21Wow, what a shot to the bottom.
11:26Oh, the intensity ratcheting up ahead of Forbidden Door.
11:30And if you wanna inside look at some of the biggest.
