Divine Dominion Retains AEW Women’s World Tag Team Titles at Forbidden Door Buy-In

Megan Bayne and Lena Kross, collectively known as Divine Dominion, successfully defended the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championships during the Buy-In pre-show for AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door on June 28, 2026.

The duo turned back a challenge from the pairing of Thunder Rosa and Olympia, walking out of the show still holding the gold. The match served as the appetizer ahead of the main card, which streamed on HBO Max — a high-profile platform that underscores how much AEW has invested in the annual crossover spectacle with New Japan Pro-Wrestling.

Divine Dominion have established themselves as a dominant force in the AEW women’s tag division since capturing the titles. Bayne, a physically imposing presence who has risen steadily through the AEW ranks, pairs well with Kross, and their successful defense here continues to cement their run as a legitimate, long-term title reign rather than a transitional one.

For Thunder Rosa, a former AEW Women’s World Champion and a significant name in the division, the loss is a setback, though her involvement at Forbidden Door speaks to her continued standing on the roster. Olympia, her partner for the evening, has been making strides in AEW, and the exposure of a major pay-per-view pre-show is no small opportunity.

With Forbidden Door now in the books, attention will shift to what’s next for both the champions and their challengers as AEW heads into the summer stretch of its calendar.
