All Elite Wrestling (AEW) star Willow Nightingale has been forced to relinquish the TBS Championship due to an injury, which also pulled her from the Owen Hart Tournament. A new champion will be crowned in the first-ever AEW Survival of the Fittest match, announced Saturday on "Collision." The match, typically reserved for Ring of Honor, will feature six qualifying matches to determine the participants, with the winner being the last competitor standing after pinfall eliminations. The title match will take place on the July 1 episode of "Dynamite."
Nightingale held the title for 140 days after defeating Mercedes Moné at "Dynamite: New Year’s Smash," marking her second reign as champion.
Chaos Ends 'Collision'
In other action, Konosuke Takeshita defeated Daniel Garcia to retain the AEW International Championship in his first title defense since winning it at Double or Nothing. After the match, the Don Callis Family attacked Takeshita. Simultaneously, Jon Moxley was attacked by Shane Taylor, Shawn Dean, and Carlie Bravo. A brawl erupted as Mike Bailey, Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly, and Roderick Strong rushed to the ring to help Takeshita, leaving the air with chaos.
