Shayna Wayne cost Adam Copeland a chance to win the TNT Championship on AEW Dynamite.
Nick Wayne's mom hit Copeland with the TNT title belt as the referee was knocked out in Wednesday's Dynamite main event, costing Copeland the match and a chance t defeat Christian Cage for the Championship.
With referee Bryce Remsburg down after eating a spear and a punt from Cage, Shayna Wayne made her way to the ring and grabbed the belt. After teasing hitting Cage, she clocked Copeland with the belt. Cage then hit Copeland with a Killswitch and a stomp on the title belt as Remsburg was revived, and Cage scored the pinfall victory to retain the title and extend his reign.
Copeland hit Nick Wayne with a con-chair-to on the November 22 Dynamite as Shayna looked on, providing the impetus for Shayna's actions on Dynamite. It remains unclear if Shayna will now be a part of the Cage-Nick Wayne-Luchasaurus/Killswitch group going forward, or if her actions were simply in retaliation against Copeland.
It also remains unclear whether or not Cage's stomp to Copeland on the title belt was meant as an injury angle to write Copeland off for a period of time, or simply as a finish to the match. All of these angles will continue to play out on AEW programming.
