Jamie Hayter's First AEW Women's World Title Defence Set For Dynamite

AEW Women’s World Champion Jamie Hayter is set to defend her title for the first time on the upcoming Holiday Bash special of Dynamite on December 21.

As announced on Dynamite, Jamie Hayter is set to put the title on the line against former champion Hikaru Shida, after the two had a stare-down on the December 9 edition of AEW Rampage. 

Hayter won the title after beating Interim Champion Toni Storm at Full Gear in November, with Tony Khan later stripping injured lineal champion Thunder Rosa and declaring that both Storm and Hayter’s title runs are official lineal runs.

Shida and Hayter have never faced off in singles action, but have shared the ring on five occasions during their time in AEW.

• Jamie Hayter (c) vs. Hikaru Shida - AEW Women’s World Championship
• FTR vs. The Gunn Club
• Death Triangle vs. The Elite - NO DQ Match (Match Five in the Best of Seven series for the AEW World Trios Titles)
