All Elite Wrestling has announced that the NWA World Women\'s Championship will be defended this weekend on the Double or Nothing Buy-In show. NWA Women\'s Champion Serena Deeb will defend against former AEW Women\'s Champion, Riho.
Deeb recently returned from knee surgery that had kept her out of action for 3 months. She defeated Red Velvet in a well-reviewed match on last week\'s edition of Dynamite. 23-year-old Riho hasn\'t wrestled in AEW since March 10th. She picked up a victory over Maki Itoh on the first-ever edition of AEW Dark: Elevation.
This will be just the 2nd ever match between Riho and Deeb. They met back in February in the 1st round of the AEW Women\'s title-eliminator tournament. Riho pulled out the victory in a match, which is the likely reason she has been granted this title shot.

The announcement of this match comes one day after a new #1 Contender to the NWA Women\'s title was not able to be determined on last night\'s edition of NWA Powerrr. Thunder Rosa and Kamille wrestled to a 20-minute time limit draw on the show. It is now unclear who will challenge for the belt on June 6th when the NWA presents its next PPV, When Our Shadows Fall.
