A TBS Championship match has been added to Battle of the Belts IX.
Champion Julia Hart will defend against Anna Jay following Dynamite, which saw Jay submit Hart’s associate Skye Blue with the Queen Slayer in an eight-person tag team match. The championship match was confirmed later in the show.
The eight-person tag team match was to honor Brodie Lee, who made his debut as The Exalted One of the Dark Order back in 2020. During his short time in AEW, Lee saw both Jay and Preston Vance as his protoges. Vance also won an eight-man tag team match on the show, scoring the win for his team.
In recent weeks, Jay has continued her association with Matt Menard, Angelo Parker, and Daniel Garcia, the remnants of the Jericho Appreciation Society. She last appeared on television on AEW Rampage this month, losing to Hikaru Shida.
Hart last defended the TBS Championship at Worlds End, defeating Abadon.
Here is the updated card for Battle of the Belts IX, which airs live immediately after Collision:
- AEW Tag Team titles: Big Bill & Ricky Starks defend against Chris Jericho & Sammy Guevara
- TBS Championship: Julia Hart defends against Anna Jay
