Persephone and Queen Aminata have been added to the Women’s Blood & Guts match, filling out the card ahead of AEW Blood & Guts on Wednesday, November 4, 2026. The addition comes directly out of a title change between the two women on Dynamite, setting up a grudge angle that will now play out inside the steel structure.
According to Fightful, Persephone used AEW Fright Night Collision to note there was one spot remaining in the Women’s Blood and Guts match and called out Queen Aminata directly, saying she wanted a rematch. F4W Online reported that a backstage segment aired during the same Collision broadcast showing Persephone’s reaction to losing the TBS Championship to Aminata, with Persephone stating she wants her title back. Diva Dirt described the title change as an underdog story for Aminata, noting she has fought for years before finally capturing the belt.
The circumstances mean Aminata will defend her new reign, at least on paper, with a personal score to settle against the very opponent she beat for the title, while Persephone gets an opportunity to win it back in a high-stakes environment rather than a standard rematch. Blood & Guts matches are built around elimination-style violence inside a two-ring, caged structure, and adding a reigning champion and her most recent challenger raises the stakes considerably for whichever team or side each woman is aligned with once the full lineup is finalized.
WrestleTalk characterized the addition as a late change to the Blood & Guts Dynamite episode, confirming that both names were made official following the Fright Night Collision broadcast. None of the reports indicate how many total spots exist in the Women’s Blood & Guts match or which teams Persephone and Aminata will be sorted into, so the full structure of the match remains to be seen as AEW continues building toward the November 4 show.
With the addition of Persephone and Queen Aminata, AEW has now folded a fresh title grudge directly into its marquee Blood & Guts stipulation, giving the rivalry a physical, high-risk stage less than a week after the championship changed hands.
