Who will challenge Hikaru Shida for the AEW Women's World Championship?

It was also revealed that the tournament's matches would be split up. Some will be seen on Wednesdays on AEW Dynamite, while others will air Monday evenings at 7 PM EST on the AEW YouTube channel.

While the video didn't expressly state this, it appears that the matches on the United States side of the bracket will be the ones to air on Dynamite. Meanwhile, the matches on the Japan side will air on YouTube.

There has been no announcement of when the tournament's finals will occur, but the last AEW Eliminator Tournament had their finals occur at AEW Full Gear. It wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility to see these finals take place at AEW Revolution. However, if they choose to end the tournament on Dynamite, they could have the actual title match at Revolution instead.

Regardless of the outcome AEW chooses to take, this should be an exhilarating tournament on both sides of the bracket that will produce an explosive finals on TNT or pay-per-view.
