Willow Nightingale vs. Kris Statlander vs. Thekla vs. Queen Aminata, Kyle Fletcher Bout, More Added To 7/16 AEW Dynamite

A four-way women’s clash, a men’s singles bout, and an all-star eight-man tag team match have been added to the July 16th episode of AEW Dynamite.
Tony Khan announced that Willow Nightingale, Kris Statlander, Thekla, and Queen Aminata will clash in a four-way bout on Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite.
$100,000 will be on the line in the match.
All four women competed in the women’s casino gauntlet at AEW All In. The gauntlet was won by ROH Women’s Champion Athena, who earned a future shot at the AEW Women’s Championship with her victory.

Statlander and Nightingale have been friends turned rivals over the past year, with Willow not forgetting how Statlander betrayed her. Willow entered the casino gauntlet at number three and immediately went after Statlander, who was in at number one. Thekla defeated Aminata at AEW Collision Summer Blockbuster, and the two have been on opposite sides of the ring ever since.
In addition to that, Kyle Fletcher will face Mascara Dorada in singles action. Coming off of his loss at All In Texas, the ‘Protostar’ will look to hand Dorada his second singles loss in AEW.
