The next chapter in a heated AEW rivalry will feature a tag team Street Fight.
Over the past few months, Kris Statlander has been engaged in a rivalry with House of Black’s Julia Hart. In November, Hart captured the TBS Title from Statlander at Full Gear in a Triple Threat match which also featured Skye Blue. Since then, Blue has allied herself with Hart, while Statlander has begun teaming up with Willow Nightingale.
In recent weeks, the four women have had repeated run-ins with each other, most recently on the special Big Business edition of Dynamite. There, Nightingale defeated Riho in the main event before Mercedes Mone made the save.
While Statlander was nowhere to be seen, she later revealed that Blue and Hart had attacked her backstage during Nightingale’s match. Statlander promised she would get revenge on her assailants, saying that when she did it would be “the end.”

Kris Statlander & Willow Nightingale Will Settle Things With Skye Blue & Julia Hart In Street Fight
On AEW Collision, it was confirmed that the end would come in a Street Fight between the two teams on the March 20th edition of Rampage. This won’t be the first Street Fight for Nightingale and Statlander as the two defeated Diamante and Mercedes Martinez on the Winter Is Coming episode of Collision back in December 2023.
This week, due to the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, Rampage will air live on Wednesday immediately after Dynamite rather than its usual Friday slot. It promises to be a particularly violent night in Toronto’s Coca-Cola Coliseum as the main event of Dynamite will see Adam Copeland taking on Christian Cage for the TNT Title in an I Quit match.
The night will also feature Kazuchika Okada challenging Eddie Kingston for the Continental Championship, while Orange Cassidy and Trent Beretta will battle Powerhouse Hobbs and Kyle Fletcher in the first round of the Tag Team Title tournament.
