All Elite Wrestling (AEW) fans are in for a thrilling event as the organization announced a Survival of the Fittest match to crown a new TBS Champion. This decision comes in the wake of Willow Nightingale’s unfortunate injury, which has forced her to relinquish the title and withdraw from the Owen Hart Tournament.

The Survival of the Fittest match, a staple of Ring of Honor, is a multi-person elimination contest where competitors are eliminated via pinfall until only one remains. This format will make its AEW debut, adding excitement to the wrestling calendar. The new champion will be determined on the July 1 episode of “Dynamite,” following six qualifying matches to decide the participants.

Willow Nightingale’s reign as TBS Champion lasted 140 days, having won the title from Mercedes Moné at “Dynamite: New Year’s Smash.” The TBS Championship, akin to the TNT Championship, is one of the premier titles for female competitors not in the main event picture.

Chaos at ‘Collision’

The recent “Collision” event ended in chaos as Konosuke Takeshita successfully defended his AEW International Championship against Daniel Garcia. However, post-match tensions flared when members of the Don Callis Family, including Rocky Romero and Brian Cage, attacked Takeshita. The situation escalated with the involvement of Jon Moxley, who was also targeted by Shane Taylor and others.

In a dramatic turn, “Speedball” Mike Bailey, Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly, and Roderick Strong rushed to Takeshita’s aid, resulting in a brawl that continued as “Collision” went off the air. The event also featured several other matches, including victories for Orange Cassidy, Roderick Strong, and Kyle O’Reilly in the AEW World Trios Championship.
