Mariah May’s dominant run with the AEW Women’s World Championship continues as she looks forward to eliminating one more opponent from the active roster to secure the challenger’s spot on the AEW Battle of the Belts special.

Set to be aired this coming Saturday night right after AEW’s weekly Collision programming, the 12th edition of the quarterly event will have the women’s world champion competing on the card in a non-title bout.

As confirmed on the latest episode of AEW Dynamite, Mariah May will take on Anna Jay in a Women’s World title eliminator at Battle of the Belts XII edition in which Jay’s win will earn her a future title match opportunity.

The match has been advertised to air on Saturday, October 19 on TNT following Collision but in reality, it will be taped, tonight at the Adventist Health Arena in Stockton, California, the same venue that Collision will be taped, as well.

The eliminator was set up through a backstage altercation between May and Jay during last night’s Dynamite that saw Jay unwillingly striking AEW authority figure Christopher Daniels as he was trying to separate the two ladies from a physical confrontation.

Since winning the top women’s title in AEW by defeating Toni Storm at All In PPV in August, May successfully defended the belt on three occasions scoring victories over Nyla Rose, Yuka Sakazaki, and Willow Nightingale.

Her most recent women’s world title defense came at the AEW WrestleDream 2024 PPV against former NJPW Strong Women’s Champion Willow Nightingale. May vs. Jay is the only match that’s been officially announced for Battle of the Belts.

Further announcements for Saturday’s special TNT show should be received during this week’s episode of Collision on October 19 It is coming with a stacked card including a championship match as given below,

- AEW Trios Champions Blackpool Combat Club (PAC, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta) defend against Top Flight (Dante & Darius Martin) and Action Andretti
