Thunder Rosa is out next, and the former AEW Women’s World Champion who never lost her title in the ring settles inside the squared circle. Her music dies down and the bell sounds to get this one officially off-and-running.

Storm makes a bad joke about Thunder Rosa being a dog when bringing up the uncomfortable situation regarding Tony Schiavone’s dog Buggity Bug dieing recently. We head into a mid-match commercial break as the action in this number one contender match for the AEW World Women’s Championship continues.

When we return from the break, we see some more back-and-forth action, with Rosa and May each having their moments, until ultimately Rosa emerges victorious via pin fall. After the match, she gets in Toni Storm’s face at ringside as their title bout for AEW Dynasty 2024 is announced.

Winner and NEW No. 1 Contender To AEW Women’s World Championship: Thunder Rosa

AEW Dynasty 2024 Contract Signing For World Championship Match

It’s main event (segment) time!

Excalibur announces Adam Copeland vs. Penta El Zero Miedo for the TNT Championship for next week’s episode of AEW Dynamite. The match announcement came after a brief backstage promo from Penta El Zero Miedo, who mentioned being on a goal to capture gold in AEW.

Also announced is Penta El Zero Miedo vs. Komander for this week’s episode of AEW Collision, which as noted, begins at a special start time of 11:30/10:30c this coming Saturday night after it is taped tonight.

Once those announcements are wrapped up, we return inside the DCU Center where Tony Schiavone has left the commentary desk and is in the ring for our final segment of the evening.

He introduces us to the official contract signing for the AEW World Championship match at the upcoming AEW Dynasty 2024 pay-per-view on April 21 in St. Louis, MO. He then introduces the challenger for the bout, number one ranked contender, Swerve Strickland.

Out comes The Mogul Embassy leader accompanied by the goofy-dancing Prince Nana. He settles in the ring and his music dies down. The theme for the AEW World Champion plays next and out comes Samoa Joe. Joe takes a seat and sets his belt down. He immediately signs the contract.

Swerve paces back-and-forth without ever taking a seat. Joe tells Tony to shut up and takes the mic. He tells Swerve he thought he’d give him a little bit of advice before he signs this contract.

He calls it doom and destruction and a career-defining mistake to sign that contract.

Joe claims if Swerve signs the contract he’ll beat him down in the ring so much so that he’ll feel like someone who stuck around a Diddy party too long. The crowd “ooh’s” and “ahh’s” at that line, as you would expect. Swerve responds and ends his speech calling Joe a “b*tch.”

This leads to the two getting physical, and they brawl in the ring like every contract signing for a big title match ends. Samoa Joe ends up getting hold of Swerve’s big chain and he beats Swerve down until he is busted open and bleeding. As he goes to leave, Swerve laughs into the mic.

Covered in blood, Swerve says he loves this sh*t and that if that’s all Joe’s got, he’s going to be losing his AEW World Championship at AEW Dynasty 2024. Joe ends up knocking Swerve off through a table.

Joe leaves The Mogul Embassy leader unconscious and laid out to end this week’s show as Excalibur plugs their showdown at AEW Dynasty 2024 in St. Louis, MO. That’s how this week’s show goes off the air. Thanks for joining us!
