The other semi-final of the AEW Tag Team title tournament happened on the latest episode of Dynamite. It was The Varsity Blondes taking on The Lucha Bros. As good as The Varsity Blondes were, the night belonged to The Lucha Bros, who have now qualified to the final.

In the AEW Tag Team tournament final, The Lucha Bros will face Jurassic Express. The winners will go on to face The Young Bucks inside a Steel Cage at All Out for the AEW Tag Team titles.

The Lucha Bros are undoubtedly the favorites to win, but Jurassic Express will be the sentimental favorites. Don't be surprised to see them pull off a big win against Penta and Fenix to potentially set up a major title victory at AEW All Out.

#3. Kris Statlander is in the hunt for gold

The Galaxy's Greatest Alien Kris Statlander is back in the hunt for gold. Before her ACL injury in 2020, she had opportunities at the AEW Women's title but fell short. Throughout nearly the entirety of her time away, it was Hiraku Shida who dominated the AEW Women's division, holding the title for a full year.

This week on AEW Dynamite, AEW Women's Champion Dr. Britt Baker was present as her ally Jamie Hayter took on Red Velvet. It was controversial and Hayter picked up an easy win, after which a beatdown would ensue.

Kris Statlander interjected and made her intentions known, after which the All Out title match was made official. AEW Women's Champion Dr. Britt Baker's reign is under threat as she faces the Galaxy's Favourite Alien at the pay-per-view.

While Statlander is a good challenger, it's too early into Baker's reign for the title to change hands.
