00:00This next contest is set for a one-fall with a 30-minute time limit.
00:15Approaching the ring from London, England, she is the AEW Women's World Champion, the
00:24Glamour, Mariah May!
00:29Shifting gears here, Tony.
00:31This past Saturday at All Out, the Zero Hour, Sky Blue was speaking to her hometown fans
00:38in Chicago when she was interrupted by Mariah May.
00:41Mariah kicking the crutch out from Sky's leg and it wasn't until Sky's friend, Queen
00:45on Banana, intervened that Mariah finally backed away.
00:48Yeah, I don't know what it goes through the mind of a person who attacks a person already
00:53injured.
00:54I don't know.
00:55I don't get it.
00:56But I do get Mariah May in that she is so devious and so arrogant.
01:02Look at the long game she played with Tony Storm.
01:07I just don't get this girl.
01:12What Queen on Banana do?
01:18And her opponent, from Guinea West, Africa, Queen Aminata!
01:27Queen Aminata stepping into the ring, not just for a potential shot at the AEW Women's
01:33World Championship, Taz, but also to a little bit of payback for what Mariah May did to
01:39Sky Blue on Saturday.
01:40Yeah, I definitely think that's the case for sure and an opportunity as far as an eliminator
01:46and as far as the AEW Women's World Championship, this is a great opportunity for Queen Aminata.
01:50But the thing is, I want to just say what you're saying, Shabani, about you don't understand
01:54what Mariah May and everything what she's doing.
01:56Listen, she is the Women's World Champion.
01:59She is setting the tone with all these ladies on this roster that she is the alpha female.
02:05You know what I mean?
02:06That's what I think she's doing.
02:07Well, I get that.
02:08I really do.
02:09Look at this.
02:10Nice trip out of the gates there by Mariah May.
02:12Mariah coming in looking for the dropkick.
02:14Aminata backs away.
02:15Now, Mariah, the roll-up.
02:17Aminata able to break free, sweep of the leg, lateral press.
02:21And Mariah now lateral press by her.
02:24And fans, the challenge was made by Jon Moxley, Darby Allin.
02:29It is official for Grand Slam.
02:31Two weeks' time, a shot at the AEW World Championship hanging in the balance.
02:37That's massive.
02:39Massive.
02:41I mean, speaking of great world champions, I mean, hey, look at Mariah May.
02:45As I was pointing out and how she is, I mean, I feel like she's the measuring stick, obviously,
02:50as the AEW Women's World Champion.
02:52She is the measuring stick.
02:53She's looking great, and she's doing great so far.
02:55I agree with everything you say.
02:56She is the measuring stick right now.
02:58She needs to stay away from the power, though, Queen Aminata, who has a long reach,
03:02very powerful legs, as we know, and, by the way, is not intimidated by Mariah May at all.
03:07I agree.
03:08She's not.
03:09She just got slapped pretty hard.
03:10Yeah, a slap there by Mariah May.
03:12Mariah, though, on the receiving end there.
03:15Aminata put her whole body into that one, and now Aminata accelerates to the ropes.
03:20The running PK, and Mariah May, the champion in trouble here.
03:25Aminata.
03:27Oh, hip attack coming, it looks like.
03:29Yep.
03:32Yeah, when you miss that, you can definitely jam an ankle or throw a knee out.
03:35That's a tough plant that you do when your opponent's not there for a hip attack.
03:39Mariah previously with a handful of hair, now Aminata all tied up in the ropes.
03:43Referee Stephon Smith calling for the break.
03:45Mariah hanging on for every second of it.
03:48Now the kissing.
03:49Uh-oh, Mariah May, she's on the hop to the ropes, and a drop kick to the spine.
03:55Aminata is in trouble.
03:56You know, we knew when we first saw Mariah May perform here in A.W.,
04:00her first match, that she was something special.
04:02She was very, very good at what she did in wrestling,
04:07but she was also very, very hard hitter and a hard striker.
04:10She certainly is, and I mean, really, for anyone to dethrone timeless Toni Storm,
04:15Mariah May certainly did that.
04:18And fans, this Eliminator Match for the A.W. Women's World Championship
04:21will continue in Picture in Picture.
04:31Excuse me, family, could you pull that one second?
04:34Impractical Jokers, all new Thursdays at 10 on TBS.
04:37Set your DVR now.
04:39The ascent begins with the rise of Mountain West football on TruTV.
04:46Mountain West is crazy.
04:47Kennesaw State, San Jose State, New Mexico State, Fresno State.
04:50Coverage begins Saturday at 6.30 p.m. Eastern, 3.30 p.m. Pacific on TruTV and Max.
04:54So this is your first time by your home?
04:56Yeah, this is the first time I'm doing any of this.
04:58Everything is in the email I sent you the other day.
05:00The email?
05:02And if you haven't looked at it yet, let's go through it together.
05:04Expertise, just one of the many ways an agent who's a realtor works for you.
05:12A.W. Dynamite live from the historic Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky.
05:16Mariah May, the A.W. Women's World Champion,
05:18trying to fend off an Eliminator Challenge by Queen Aminata.
05:21If Aminata wins this match, despite being unranked,
05:25she would earn a shot at the A.W. Women's World Championship.
05:28But Mariah May connects with a powerful dropkick.
05:31Again, Mariah just is vicious enough and is hard-hitting enough
05:36to hold on to that championship for quite a while.
05:39Well, she understands.
05:40She knows, being the A.W. Women's World Champion,
05:42that she's on top of the hill, right?
05:44And everyone's trying to climb that hill to pull her down,
05:46and she don't want it to happen.
05:48Not just vicious.
05:50Mariah May conniving as well.
05:53Conniving, that's well played out.
05:55That's well documented here.
05:57Just ask Timeless Tony Storm about that.
05:59And Mariah looking for a T-Harris.
06:02But Aminata avoids and uses her length to connect that kick.
06:06And now Aminata rolls through the wall.
06:10Mariah May kicks out, and Aminata goes underneath,
06:14has Mariah May.
06:15Snatch suplex.
06:17Strong legs up that test.
06:19Yeah, no, she engaged her hips quick too, really deep, to hit that throw.
06:23And there's another release German suplex.
06:25Well done by the queen.
06:26German suplex.
06:27The champion, Mariah May, is rocked.
06:30And Aminata, she was looking for that running shot against the ropes earlier.
06:35Trying to pull for the people here in Lexington.
06:37Aminata.
06:38No!
06:39My God.
06:40Wow, what a kick on the point of the jaw of the champion.
06:44Second gigantic kick, but Aminata, she needs to stay away from the camera, though.
06:48But Aminata pulls Mariah from the ropes.
06:51Yeah, I think getting in front of the camera, like you said there,
06:54was definitely that second hurt.
06:56She could have won this eliminated match right there.
06:58Absolutely.
07:00Sometimes, as a wrestler, you get hung up in the moment.
07:04You get hung up, and it happens sometimes with the audience or a camera.
07:08It can happen.
07:09Yeah, Aminata's still relatively early in her pro-wrestling journey,
07:11but still with a huge opportunity.
07:13Oh, no!
07:14Mariah May counters, driving Aminata face first into the knee,
07:19and now, oh, Mariah May, the DDT Aminata!
07:23Queen might be coming.
07:24Got planted.
07:25Two and press.
07:28Yeah, on the neck, the upper shoulders of Queen Aminata, that kinesio tape.
07:32I did notice that, so she's got some sort of a tightness or issue with the bands in her neck,
07:38meaning the muscles in her neck.
07:40She's flexing her hands right now.
07:41Did you see that?
07:42I don't know if that has anything to do with her neck.
07:44Could be some numbness, maybe.
07:45Yeah, right.
07:46But Aminata kicks her legs, breaks free of the grip.
07:48Whoa.
07:49The AEW Women's World Champion lands a big overhand chop.
07:52She's been a hard hitter as Aminata in this match.
07:54Aminata, the scoop and the slam, the cover!
07:56And that time, wasting no time with the pinfall attempt.
08:00But a great opportunity, Excalibur, if she wins this eliminated match.
08:04That's right.
08:05Aminata would earn a shot at the AEW Women's World Championship,
08:09essentially a rematch with Mariah May,
08:11but that time, the championship would be on the line.
08:14You have to imagine the momentum would be with the challenger
08:17as Queen Aminata to that top dive and foot stomp.
08:22Mariah rolls in and connects.
08:24Big drop kick.
08:26Great job by the champion.
08:28And now Aminata in the grip of the champion, Mariah May.
08:33The glamour, the knee, and now Mariah
08:38looking for perhaps the Storm Zero.
08:41Oh, God.
08:42The continued indignity of the timeless Tony Storm
08:45to get Mariah May the win.
08:48The AEW Women's World Champion, the glamour, Mariah May.
08:53Mariah's such a hard striker.
08:55I think the match was won before the Storm Zero.
08:58I think it was won with that knee.
09:00She cleaned out the clock of Queen Aminata with that running knee.
09:06That running knee strike was intense.
09:08Now, it seems like the champ had something to say possibly.
09:12Again, mocking the timeless Tony Storm.
09:15The post-match celebration that we've come to know
09:18from the former AEW Women's World Champion.
09:34I still haven't had my AEW Women's World Championship celebration.
09:43Clearly heartbroken.
09:44Well, she's had a couple of chances.
09:47Didn't want to have it in Chicago.
09:49We remember that.
09:50Didn't want to have it in Milwaukee.
09:51Something's missing.
09:56Someone's missing.
10:04Mina Shirukawa.
10:08Please come back.
10:12I'll put on the call to her former tag team partner, Mina Shirukawa.
10:15Remember, Mina had all in London.
10:17Wanted no part of it.
10:19She didn't want to choose sides between Mariah May and Timeless Tony Storm.
10:23Very strange action that's going on here.
10:28Well, right now, our Executive Vice Presidents, Matthew and Nicholas Jackson
10:34are standing by.
10:36Let's hear from the EVPs.
