Tonight’s edition of AEW: Dynamite emanated from Hamilton, Ontario. While there were (justified) complaints about the lack of Canadian content prior to tonight’s episode, the Tiger-Cats faithful were treated to a surprise appearance from one of Ontario’s finest.
Earlier today, Tony Khan announced that Dr. Britt Baker would be unable to compete in her previously-announced Owen Hart Tournament match against Ruby Soho. While that match will now take place next week (Wednesday, July 5th), Khan also announced that Soho would still be in action tonight. Surprisingly, and to the delight of the sold-out FirstOntario Centre, Soho’s eventual opponent was none other than Canada’s own Alexia Nicole.
Though just 27 years old, Nicole is one of Ontario’s most long-tenured wrestlers. At just 13 years old, “The Bionic Woman” began training under current IMPACT Knockouts Tag Team Champion Taylor Wilde. Currently, Nicole is the C*4 Women’s Champion and recently had her reign as Femmes Fatales Champion ended by fellow Dynamite alum Nicole Matthews.
Nicole had previously wrestled for All Elite Wrestling in 2022, taking on Athena in a losing effort on AEW: Dark.
