AEW Reveals First Six Competitors for Survival of the Fittest Qualifying Bouts

AEW has confirmed some of the participants for the upcoming Survival of the Fittest qualifying matches.

As reported previously, veteran commentator Tony Schiavone announced on last week’s Collision that the new AEW TBS Champion would be crowned via the first-ever Survival of the Fittest match in the company’s history.

A series of six matches will take place across Dynamite and Collision, and the winners of these bouts will compete in the Survival of the Fittest match. The historic bout will take place on the July 1 episode of Dynamite in San Diego, California.

On tonight’s Collision, the company aired a vignette in which Hikaru Shida, Kris Statlander, Mina Shirakawa, Harley Cameron, Zayda Steel, and Queen Aminata made their claim to be in the upcoming qualifying bouts.

For those unaware, Willow Nightingale relinquished the TBS Championship ahead of last month’s Double or Nothing pay-per-view due to a shoulder injury.

411Mania will provide an update as and when more competitors are announced.
