While the major talking point coming out of last night's AEW Dynamite: Holiday Smash was the company debut of Kyle O'Reilly - KOR joining forces with his Undisputed Era buddies Adam Cole and Bobby Fish - Ruby Soho has earned herself a shot at becoming the inaugural AEW TBS Champion.

Last night saw Soho win a back and forth battle against Nyla Rose, eventually hitting the No Future enziguri kick on the Native Beast to pick up the victory.

That win puts Ruby on a collision course with the winner of the Thunder Rosa vs. Jade Cargill semi-final bout; a bout that we now know will take place on next week's episode of AEW Dynamite. From there, Soho and Rosa/Cargill will meet in the tournament final on the 5 January Dynamite - a Dynamite that will be the first to air on TBS in the US.

As for Rosa, La Mera Mera received a bye in the first round and then beat Jamie Hayter to set up her match with Cargill. For Jade, the powerhouse likewise got a first round bye before getting a win over Red Velvet.
