The 2025 Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament has reached its final destination—glory, grit, and a guaranteed five-star stare down. Following an absolute banger of a semi-final match on the April 23 episode of AEW Dynamite, Jamie Hayter punched her ticket to Double or Nothing, where she’ll go one-on-one with Mercedes Mone, aka “The CEO of More Titles Than Meetings.”
Let’s talk about the semi-final: Hayter vs. Statlander was less of a wrestling match and more of a muscle-fueled chess match with a side of violence.
It all began with the traditional test of strength—a nice callback to old-school grappling, before Hayter decided “enough tradition” and went full blitzkrieg with a German suplex and a dropkick. Statlander answered back by dragging the action to the apron and sweeping Hayter like she owed her rent, but her standing moonsault missed harder than an open-book quiz.
Coming back from the commercial break (aka the part where we all ran to the fridge), Hayter had taken over, suplexing like it was a contact sport and throwing elbows in the corner like she was clocking out early. Statlander fought back, suplexing with style and landing a second-rope back elbow that dropped Hayter harder than plotlines in the final season of a Netflix show.
Then things got birthday weird. As Hayter locked in a sleeper hold, she took time out to sing “Happy Birthday” to herself—because apparently, nothing screams “submission technique” like self-celebration. That hubris almost cost her, as Statlander powered up like a Marvel hero and hit a Facebreaker and knees to the back that came with the receipt stamped “TWO COUNT.”
We got suplexes. We got powerbombs. We got a 450 Splash that nearly had the ref checking the ring for craters. But in the end, Statlander went to the top rope one time too many, and Hayter made her pay with a top-rope Hayterade, followed by another one for good measure. Boom. Pinfall. Done.
Then, like a cutscene from a sports anime, Mercedes Mone came out, title in hand, strutting like the stock market just closed in her favor. No words, just a stare down that could melt steel. Mone vs. Hayter is now official for Double or Nothing on May 25 in Phoenix, Arizona.
So mark your calendars and prepare your hot takes: it’s CEO vs Chaos. Velvet and violence. Power moves in both fashion and fists.
