Saraya & The Outcasts have remained on top of their feud with the AEW Originals, and tonight – we see Saraya in action. Willow Nightingale is someone who has been deeply involved with the battles against The Outcasts, and a win tonight against their ringleader would be huge for her career.
She can’t rely on backup like Saraya can, but Jamie Hayter & Britt Baker are never too far when The Outcasts are around. Since arriving in AEW, Saraya has been undefeated in singles action, and is unlikely to give up that record until she gets her shot at the AEW Women’s World Championship.
Saraya Uses The Number Edge Of The Outcasts To Defeat Willow Nightingale
Saraya would flee the ring as soon as the bell rang, yelling she’s not ready. Willow followed her, only for Storm & Soho to form a wall.
Saraya would get the high ground in the ring, and used it to start her attack on Willow. Willow was able to overpower Saraya, before coming off the middle rope with a shotgun dropkick – getting a two count.
Saraya would take chops and lariats in the corner from Willow, and Storm would be key in getting control back for Saraya – running a distraction. Willow would be sent to the floor as Saraya distracted the referee, allowing Soho & Storm to choke and stomp Willow.
Back in the ring, Willow would be hit with some clubbing forearms to the back – Saraya taking an aggressive approach to this match now that she’s in control.
Despite being in control, Saraya would again distract the referee and Soho would choke her former tag team partner in the corner.
Willow would land a massive spinebuster, getting a two count in the process. Saraya would hit the Nightcap – but only got a near fall herself.
Willow would fight off a DDT attempt, and hit the Running Death Valley Driver – with Storm & Soho fast to prevent a pinfall. Soho took a massive pounce, but this was about for Saraya to hit the Good Knight DDT for the win.
After the bell, it was Hikaru Shida to make the save – with Kendo Stick in hand… only to turn and instead join The Outcasts.
Shida would play the role of a new recruit as Hayter & Baker got into position – before beating down The Outcasts, a ruse done to perfection.
The Tres de Mayo Trios Battle Royale Kicks Off
