AEW’s Women’s Blood & Guts match is now set, as Persephone and Queen Aminata have been officially added to the multi-woman cage battle scheduled for AEW Blood & Guts on November 4, 2026.
The final positions came into focus during AEW Fright Night Collision, when Persephone addressed the remaining open spot in the match and directed a message toward Queen Aminata. Tony Khan subsequently made the additions official, finalizing the two sides for one of the promotion’s biggest women’s matches of the year.
Persephone will enter Blood & Guts aligned with Divine Dominion and Triangle of Madness. Her side will include Lena Kross, Megan Bayne, Thekla, Julia Hart, and Skye Blue. Queen Aminata, meanwhile, joins a formidable opposing unit made up of Willow Nightingale, Wrathlander’s Harley Cameron and Kris Statlander, and The Brawling Birds’ Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor.

The confirmed lineups establish a 6-on-6 Women’s Blood & Guts match, giving both teams a blend of power, technical ability, high-impact striking, and experienced competitors who have already been involved in major rivalries across AEW programming.

Persephone Joins Divine Dominion and Triangle of Madness
Persephone’s inclusion places her beside one of the darker and more dangerous alliances assembled for the event. Divine Dominion, represented by Lena Kross and Megan Bayne, joins forces with Triangle of Madness, the trio of Thekla, Julia Hart, and Skye Blue. Adding Persephone gives that group a sixth competitor as it heads toward the unforgiving Blood & Guts structure.
That side features a particularly varied collection of in-ring threats. Bayne brings exceptional strength and an ability to change the direction of a match with a single power move. Thekla is an unpredictable and aggressive presence, while Hart and Blue have a long association that provides built-in familiarity in a chaotic team setting. Kross and Persephone round out a lineup that will be looking to impose control as the match becomes increasingly crowded.
Blood & Guts is not a conventional tag team bout. The stipulation places a premium on numbers, timing, alliances, and the capacity to withstand sustained punishment. A wrestler’s ability to make the most of an entry advantage can be just as important as an individual finishing move. The group containing Persephone will have six competitors capable of creating a difficult environment for their opposition once all entrants are inside the cages.
The announcement also makes clear that Persephone’s message on Fright Night Collision was more than a passing challenge. With Queen Aminata now confirmed for the other team, the two competitors are directly connected in a match where personal targets can be pursued with nowhere to escape.
Queen Aminata Takes the Final Spot Opposite Persephone
Queen Aminata will stand with a team that is equally loaded with established AEW names. Willow Nightingale, Kris Statlander, Harley Cameron, Jamie Hayter, and Alex Windsor had already formed the core of the opposition before Aminata was added. Her confirmation fills the last available place and gives the side its final six-woman configuration.
The team’s roster offers major physicality through Nightingale and Statlander, while Hayter and Windsor bring a hard-hitting style well suited to the intensity expected in Blood & Guts. Cameron adds another dimension to Wrathlander’s presence, and Aminata’s arrival provides the squad with another competitor prepared to fight through a high-pressure environment.
There is also considerable intrigue in how these partnerships will function under the match’s extreme conditions. Wrathlander arrives as the pairing of Cameron and Statlander, while The Brawling Birds unite Hayter and Windsor. Those established connections could be meaningful once the action becomes too frantic for lengthy strategy sessions. Nightingale and Aminata will be key pieces in bringing the larger unit together against an opposing side that includes multiple wrestlers with their own close alliances.
Aminata’s selection is especially significant because only one place remained when Persephone raised the issue on Collision. Rather than being left out of AEW’s most consequential women’s team contest, Aminata has been placed straight into the middle of the developing conflict. Her presence gives the match another individual rivalry to follow while also strengthening the resistance to the Divine Dominion and Triangle of Madness coalition.
What Blood & Guts Means for the Women’s Division
The completion of the field is an important step for AEW as it builds toward November 4. Blood & Guts is designed around escalation: teams enter in stages, the environment becomes more dangerous as more wrestlers join the action, and the conflict only truly reaches its decisive phase once everyone has entered the cages.
For the women involved, the match represents an opportunity to make a statement in an atmosphere unlike a standard singles, tag team, or multi-person contest. The format can expose fractures within an alliance, elevate unexpected partnerships, and provide a defining platform for competitors who seize the moment under the most difficult circumstances.
The makeup of the two teams also ensures that there is no shortage of contrasting styles. Bayne, Statlander, and Nightingale stand out as powerful forces. Hayter and Windsor bring intensity and toughness. Hart, Blue, and Thekla give their unit a dangerous edge, while Aminata, Kross, Cameron, and Persephone add further variables to a match already built around uncertainty.
With both rosters complete, attention can turn from who will enter the match to how the teams will attempt to gain the advantage before the bell. Blood & Guts has always been about more than assembling talent on opposite sides. The competitors must decide who can be trusted, who should enter at crucial moments, and which opponents need to be neutralized before the match reaches its final stage.
Updated AEW Blood & Guts Card for November 4
AEW Blood & Guts is scheduled to feature both the men’s and women’s versions of the signature cage match. The updated announced card is as follows:
- Men’s Blood & Guts Match: Adam Copeland, Steven Borden, Darby Allin, The Young Bucks, and Will Ospreay vs. The Don Callis Family’s Kazuchika Okada, Wardlow, Kyle Fletcher, Mark Davis, Kevin Knight, and Jake Doyle.
- Women’s Blood & Guts Match: Queen Aminata, Willow Nightingale, Wrathlander’s Harley Cameron and Kris Statlander, and The Brawling Birds’ Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor vs. Persephone, Divine Dominion’s Lena Kross and Megan Bayne, and Triangle of Madness’ Thekla, Julia Hart, and Skye Blue.
The women’s contest now has a full 12-person field, with Queen Aminata and Persephone serving as the final announced pieces of the puzzle. Their additions sharpen the divide between the sides and ensure that the November 4 event will feature two complete factions entering AEW’s cage-war setting.
As the date approaches, the focus will be on whether the combined strength of Aminata, Nightingale, Wrathlander, and The Brawling Birds can overcome the ruthless collection of Persephone, Divine Dominion, and Triangle of Madness. With the teams locked in, there is no longer an empty spot to fight over. The battle now moves toward Blood & Guts itself.
