Willow Nightingale's celebration on AEW Dynamite was about far more than celebrating championship gold. After defeating Thekla at AEW Redemption to capture the AEW Women's World Championship, Nightingale addressed the Detroit crowd while standing in a ring covered with streamers. Nightingale made her comeback on the July 8 edition of AEW Dynamite as the surprise Joker entrant in the Women's Casino Gauntlet Match. She won the bout, earning a title opportunity that she later cashed in by defeating Thekla at Redemption to become AEW Women's World Champion. With the contract officially signed, Nightingale will defend the AEW Women's World Championship against Mercedes Moné at AEW All In on August 30 from Wembley Stadium in London.
