5 AEW stars who should challenge for Britt Baker’s Women’s Championship - CM Punk's former stablemate, former WWE star

#2. Ruby Soho is a fan favorite in AEW

AEW's most recent female marquee signing was Ruby Soho, who debuted in the All Out pay-per-view. The former WWE star has since challenged Britt Baker for her title unsuccessfully. She also made it to the finals of the TBS championship tournament but lost to Jade Cargill.

Who was the first person to welcome Soho backstage after her devastating loss? Britt Baker, of course. Not one to pass an opportunity to boast, the dentist criticized Ruby for not winning the big one in AEW. It is a subtle but interesting tease that planted the seeds for a future rematch between the two.

Now that Soho is no longer in the TBS title picture, she would make a great opponent for Baker. She remains one of the most popular female wrestlers on the roster, and fans are eager to see her succeed.

#1. Thunder Rosa is Britt Baker's arch-rival

Thunder Rosa seems the obvious choice to be the next AEW Women's Champion. In one of the best matches in the promotion's history, she beat Britt Baker in their Lights Out match back in March. It also made the dentist a legitimate star and helped propel her into championship contention.

The pair have not interacted since, as it seems AEW has been keeping them apart for the eventual explosive rematch. Who better to finally defeat Baker for the title than La Mera Mera? She's an underrated talent who has gone over with the AEW audience thanks to her sheer determination and in-ring prowess.

With her colorful face paint, intense promos, and grit, she would make a grand fighting champion to build the company around. Winning the AEW Women's Championship would be a well-deserved acknowledgment of Thunder Rosa's contributions to the division.
