A new championship match has been added to AEW Double or Nothing 2023.
During the May 19 episode of AEW Rampage, TBS Champion Jade Cargill held an open challenge and was confronted by a familiar foe.
Cargill first defeated Dani B, taking her record to 58-0. Then, Mark Sterling issued an open challenge, Jennacide came out, and Cargill beat her too. Sterling called out another competitor, but Taya Valkyrie then came out and attacked Cargill. She then challenged the champion to a title match at AEW Double or Nothing, dropping Jade with her own finisher, which also happens to be Valkyrie's finisher, Jaded.
.@thetayavalkyrie didn't just answer the TBS Open Challenge, she made a STATEMENT and issued a HUGE challenge to TBS Champion @Jade_Cargill!

Valkyrie has been feuding with Cargill since she debuted on the March 15 episode of AEW Dynamite. Cargill beat Valkyrie to retain the title in a match where Valkyrie was prohibited from using her Road to Valhalla finisher on the April 26 episode of AEW Dynamite. After the bell, Valkyrie put her hands on referee Aubrey Edwards, and she was subsequently suspended.
Cargill is the inaugural TBS Champion; she won the gold by beating Ruby Soho on the January 5, 2022, episode of AEW Dynamite, and she has held it ever since.
