At the close of 2025, AEW launched the Women’s Tag Team Titles, with the Babes of Wrath — Willow Nightingale and Harley Cameron — crowned as the first-ever champions. Nightingale, who also holds the AEW TBS Championship, along with Harley Cameron, frequently teams with Kris Statlander and regularly face rivals including the Triangle of Madness faction featuring Skye Blue, Thekla, and Julia Hart, as well as contenders Megan Bayne, Penelope Ford, and Lena Kross.
Discussion Around AEW Women’s Trios Championship and Freebird Rule
In an interview with SacTown Sports, Willow Nightingale addressed the possibility of AEW introducing Women’s Trios Titles as a way to expand their accolades. She also proposed the idea of applying the Freebird rule to their tag team titles, given the current dynamics involving trio line-ups on the women’s division roster.
“Personally, I’m like, ‘Maybe we can invoke a little bit of the Freebird rule (with the tag titles). It does seem like we’re getting into a lot of trios situations with the girls. Harley and I have Stat [Kris Statlander], there is the Triangle of Madness. MegaBad just got this giant woman to attack Harley and I, Lena Kross. I guess that’s another one we have to worry about now. Maybe if we did [have a Freebird rule], but I don’t make the rules,”
Nightingale said.
Defenses and Ongoing Rivalries Strengthen Babes of Wrath’s Reign
Willow Nightingale and Harley Cameron successfully defended their Women’s Tag Team Championships against MegaBad at AEW Grand Slam Australia. Their ongoing feuds with groups such as Triangle of Madness and MegaBad reinforce their roles as key players in AEW’s women’s division, where alliances and rivalries continue to intensify.
Future Implications for AEW Women’s Titles and Division Expansion
With the women’s division increasingly involving trios formations and multi-wrestler factions, Nightingale’s suggestion of incorporating the Freebird rule points to potential structural changes in AEW’s championship landscape. Should AEW approve such adaptations or introduce Women’s Trios Titles, it may create fresh opportunities and strategic dynamics for competitors like Nightingale, Harley Cameron, Kris Statlander, and their adversaries including Penelope Ford and Lena Kross.
