Persephone retained the TBS Championship against Queen Aminata, Dani Luna and Hyan at AEW WrestleDream on Saturday.

The champion pinned Hyan following a moonsault at Addition Financial Arena in Orlando, Florida.

The four-way began with Persephone taunting all three challengers before being sent from the ring, leaving Luna, Aminata and Hyan to trade control.

Aminata received a strong response from the crowd and came close to winning after hitting Persephone with a rolling neckbreaker followed by the Off with Her Head. Hyan broke up the ensuing cover.

Hyan later hit Aminata with a butterfly suplex, running knee and Falcon Arrow for another near fall.

Luna used her power against multiple opponents, at one point lifting Hyan and Persephone simultaneously for a Samoan Drop/fallaway slam combination. She later hit Aminata with a slingshot Blue Thunder Bomb before Hyan interrupted the pin.

The closing sequence saw Luna and Hyan exchange strikes before Hyan dropped Luna and appeared poised to continue her attack.

Persephone returned to take Hyan down and followed with a moonsault from the top rope for the three-count.

Dr. Britt Baker DMD joined Persephone on the entrance ramp afterward to celebrate the successful defense.

Persephone won the championship from Maya World during the All In: London Buy-In after Baker returned and became involved in the finish.

She has since retained the title several times, including a defense against Luna at All Out. Saturday’s four-way was announced on Wednesday as one of the final additions to the WrestleDream card.
