Tonight's edition of AEW Dynamite featured a semifinals match for the AEW Women's World Tag Team Championship tournament, four matches in the Continental Classic, and set up some matches for upcoming episodes of Collision and Dynamite.
In case you missed it, here is a recap of all that you need to know coming out of this episode and a spoiler-free look at what's to come.
AEW Women's World Tag Team Championship Tournament Updates
The Babes of Wrath (Harley Cameron and Willow Nightingale) defeated The Sisters of Sin (Julia Hart and Skye Blue) to advance to the finals.
Their opponents for the finals have yet to be determined, but we'll find out whether it will be Megan Bayne and Marina Shafir or The Timeless Love Bombs as they have their semifinals match on next week's episode of AEW Dynamite.
"Timeless" Toni Storm and Mina Shirakawa earned the right to pick the stipulation for that match by winning the four-way at AEW Full Gear, and have chosen a "hardcore holiday death match" for that semifinals bout.
AEW Continental Classic Standings Updates
Four matches went down on tonight's Dynamite, two for the Blue League and Gold League respectively.
In the Blue League, both members of The Death Riders (Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli) scored victories over Mascara Dorada and Orange Cassidy respectively. Their other teammate, PAC, will have his first match of this year's tournament on AEW Collision Thanksgiving against "Speedball" Mike Bailey.
In the Gold League, "The Jet" Kevin Knight scored an upset over Darby Allin and the two Don Callis Family members, Kazuchika Okada and Kyle Fletcher, faced off with Fletcher beating Okada, already putting the unified champion's reign at a disadvantage. As explained, if Okada doesn't win this tournament, whoever does will be awarded the AEW Continental Championship, so he's off to a rough start.
This means Castagnoli, Moxley, Knight, and Fletcher all have 3 points, while everyone else in both leagues of the bracket sit at 0 points.
