That is an interesting combination of talent. With Double or Nothing on the horizon, one might assume that this four-way title eliminator could produce a PPV challenger, especially since Storm doesn't need to be pinned by the winner.
Blue is coming back from injury. She is 0-2 against Storm in televised title matches and 0-4 overall in televised singles matches. Her return was announced last week, but at the time no match was specified.
AZM just won the NJPW Strong Women's Championship from Mercedes Moné by pinning Mina in the three-way title bout at NJPW Resurgence. AZM tested herself against Storm once before losing a title eliminator last year in AEW.
Mina has the connection to Storm through the Mariah May storyline, and she previously challenged Timeless for the title at Forbidden Door 2024. There are also rumors of a push in store for Mina in AEW.

Tony Khan Explains Why Women's Tag Titles Are Currently On Hold In AEW
Tony Khan talks about the possibility of bringing Women's Tag Team Titles to AEW. All Elite Wrestling President Tony Khan recently sat down with Iridian Fierro of WGN Radio. When asked about the potential of bringing Women's Tag Team Titles into the company, Khan said plans for these titles are currently on hold due to injuries in the division. 'I have a bunch of people I would like to get involved in a women's tag team tournament, potentially,' Tony Khan said. 'There has been so much injury in the women's division. And as the person who put together the Women's Casino Gauntlet, I wish that we had come out of it healthier. A quarter of the people in the match got knocked out of the match and out of action indefinitely. So we had one match where I lost 25% of the roster in one match. 'I would really like to have just mentioning people on the women's roster. Not all necessarily for the tag team tournament, but to have a full roster competing for the Women's World Championship, the TBS Championship, and potentially Tag Team Championships, because I would like to do AEW Women's World Tag Team Championships. The AEW Women's Tag Team Titles already exist 'I have the belts. I've made the belts. They exist, but I will put them into play when we are able to put the very best full roster forward to have great action with competition for all the championships.' [H/T: WrestlePurists] Stay tuned to WrestleZone for more information regarding the injuries in the AEW Women's division as it becomes available.
