Moné, who is also the NJPW Strong Women’s Champion, was complaining about the accommodations at the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington when Aminata interrupted her, leading to a disagreement and eventually a match to settle their differences.
Moné is coming off a successful defence of both her titles against Emi Sakura and will undoubtedly have her muscle Kamille in her corner.

"Switchblade" Jay White vs. Christian Cage
"Switchblade" Jay White defeated “Hangman” Adam Page at WrestleDream and now turns his attention to a match against Christian Cage, as he seeks revenge against the men that cost him The Owen Hart Foundation tournament.
White was in a battle with Page in the semifinals of the competition when he was attacked by Cage, costing him the match and a shot in the final.
To add literal injury to insult, White was on the shelf for over two months following that match and is now working his way back through his revenge list.

Rush will have the chance to deal with the disrespect in the ring as he faces veteran wrestler Shelton Benjamin, making his AEW debut with associate MVP in his corner.
Benjamin, a former tag, intercontinental and United States champion during his time with World Wrestling Entertainment, joined AEW earlier this month.
