AEW 'Deadly Draw' Women's Tag Team Tournament Announced
AEW's latest women's wrestling endeavour arrives this summer.
Last night's AEW Dynamite saw the promotion announced that a new competition - the 'Deadly Draw' women's tag team tournament - will go down this summer.
This will comprise of 16 wrestlers from the AEW women's wrestler competing as part of eight different teams. The Nightmare Sisters of Allie and Brandi Rhodes have already been confirmed while Penelope Ford, Anna Jay, Nyla Rose, and Big Swole were all featured in the video package.

No further details have been announced yet, though it looks like the tournament lineup will be filled over the coming weeks.
AEW's women's division has been stretched thin through the ongoing global health crisis. Travel restrictions have prevented the likes of Riho from appearing, coinciding with injuries to Britt Baker and Kris Statlander, though the former has remained on television, furthering a feud with Big Swole. Baker is expected to return at All Out in September.
Next week sees AEW Women's Champion Hikaru Shida defending her strap against Diamante, who defeated Ivelisse on last night's Dynamite. That the unranked wrestler has earned a title shot after previously being cast as an enhancement talent demonstrates the thinness.
