Brawling Birds Earn AEW Women’s Tag Title Shot At All In London

AEW has set a new challenger for the Women’s World Tag Team Championship at All In London, with Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor — collectively known as the Brawling Birds — securing their opportunity after a six-woman showdown at Grand Slam Mexico.

At that event, Hayter and Windsor teamed with Willow Nightingale to face the trio of Mercedes Mone and Divine Dominion’s Megan Bayne and Lena Kross. The result of that trios match paved the way for the Brawling Birds to be named the next challengers for the tag titles, with the match now officially on the docket for AEW’s marquee London show.

The Brawling Birds have been one of the steadiest tag pairings in AEW’s women’s division since Hayter’s return from injury reshaped the tag ranks. Windsor, who has quietly built a reputation as one of the most technically sound competitors on the roster, gives the duo a well-rounded attack that mixes Hayter’s physical, hard-hitting style with Windsor’s mat-based precision. Together they’ve positioned themselves as legitimate threats in a division that has grown deeper and more competitive over the past year, thanks in part to the arrivals of stars like Mone and the continued rise of factions such as Divine Dominion.

Divine Dominion, the imposing pairing of Bayne and Kross, has emerged as one of the most physically dominant acts in AEW’s women’s ranks, and their alliance with Mone at Grand Slam Mexico signaled just how much influence the self-proclaimed CEO now wields across the division. Whether that alliance was strictly a one-off for that trios bout or hints at something more permanent remains to be seen, but it’s clear AEW is using these bigger multi-woman matches to set stakes and build toward All In London rather than simply booking title matches out of thin air.

All In London has become one of AEW’s biggest annual events, drawing massive crowds and typically featuring some of the promotion’s highest-stakes matches of the year. Slotting a genuine title challenge for the Brawling Birds onto that card underscores how seriously AEW is treating the women’s tag division heading into the back half of 2026. It also gives Hayter — long regarded as one of the best in the world when healthy — another chance at a major title on one of the promotion’s biggest stages.

As for who the Brawling Birds will actually be facing when the bell rings in London, AEW has not yet confirmed the reigning champions’ status beyond setting the challengers, so that picture should become clearer as the promotion continues building toward the show. Expect more angles and undercard matches to take shape between now and the event as AEW fills out what’s already shaping up to be a stacked women’s division showcase.
