Summary

Mina Shirakawa will team with The Brawling Birds to face the Triangle of Madness at AEW Dynamite on April 1 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The match was set up on the March 28 edition of AEW Collision.

During that episode, Mina joined Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor in a trios match against Nixi AS, Aminah Belmont, and Haven Harris. After coming away with the win, Hayter made a point of telling Mina that The Brawling Birds had no involvement in the recent attack on Toni Storm.

Windsor then called out the Triangle of Madness. AEW Women's World Champion Thekla answered alongside Julia Hart and Skye Blue, and the trio wasted no time trading insults with their challengers. Thekla warned that Mina, Jamie, and Alex would end up sharing the same fate as Timeless Toni Storm. Mina responded by challenging the group to the trios match, which was later confirmed for the upcoming Dynamite.

What Thekla's Warning Sets Up

Thekla invoking Toni Storm's name as a cautionary tale puts real stakes behind the April 1 bout. Storm has been out of action following the attack, and the champion framing her stable as responsible for that outcome, while pointing at Mina and The Brawling Birds as their next targets, adds urgency to the match beyond a typical Dynamite undercard slot.

Mina Shirakawa was previously part of Skye Blue's Triangle of Madness story, and her insertion alongside The Brawling Birds now puts her directly in the women's title picture heading toward AEW Dynasty.
