TayJay Earns AEW Women's Tag Title Shot After Surviving Five-Minute Eliminator

Anna Jay locked champion Megan Bayne in the Queen’s Slayer as the clock hit zero, signaling a credible title threat that led AEW to schedule a tag-title match next week.

Overview

  • Tay Melo and Anna Jay survived a five-minute eliminator on the May 30 episode of AEW Collision and, per the stipulation, earned a future AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship match.
  • The eliminator rule awards any challenger who runs out the five-minute clock a title shot rather than requiring a pinfall or submission to win the opportunity.
  • The match ended with Anna Jay applying the Queen’s Slayer to Megan Bayne as time expired, with reports saying Bayne was nearly rendered unconscious before the bell.
  • Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne and Lena Kross) had been issuing and winning similar five-minute challenges in recent weeks, making this the first recent defense they failed to complete.
  • AEW announced a title match between TayJay and Divine Dominion for next week’s Collision, a booking that elevates TayJay from return act to official challengers and sets the next test of the champions’ streak.
