The full bracket has been revealed for the AEW Women's World Title Eliminator Tournament.

As seen in the video below, Tony Schiavone revealed the first round matches in the new Bracketology Special.

The winner of the tournament will become the new #1 contender to AEW Women's World Champion Hikaru Shida, for a future title match, rumored for the 2021 Revolution pay-per-view on Sunday, March 7 but not confirmed. The tournament will begin during tonight's AEW Dynamite episode with Leyla Hirsch vs. Thunder Rosa.

Tournament matches for the United States side will air each week on Dynamite, beginning with tonight's Hirsch vs. Rosa match. The matches from the Japan side will air each Monday night on the AEW YouTube channel, beginning next Monday.
