Toni Storm, known as "Timeless," has not competed in AEW since March where she was attacked by Ronda Rousey following a match at Revolution.

Mercedes Moné now becomes the primary focus for the division, with plans initially including a match against Thekla that has since changed to Thekla facing Willow Nightingale.
