After success defending his AEW TBS Championship against Hyan At Dynamite, the champion cut a promo alongside Dr. Britt Baker DMD stating that she wants to continue to prove why she’s one of the best wrestlers in the world and issued an open challenge for her TBS Championship this Saturday at All Out. Persephone joked that Maya World couldn’t answer the challenge because she wasn’t medically cleared, and noted that neither Hian nor Thunder Rosa could answer it, as she called both women “pathetic”. However, Hyan and Rosa will get their chance to exact revenge on both Persephone and Baker as they face off in a tag team match on the Sept. 30 episode of “Dynamite.”
