#2 The AEW Women’s Championship Match and AEW Championship Match Outcomes
The AEW Women’s Championship and AEW Championship were both put on the line at Double or Nothing. Hikaru Shida lost to Britt Baker, making her the new AEW Women’s Champion, while Kenny Omega retained the AEW Championship in a match against Pac and Orange Cassidy.
Much like the situation with The Young Bucks, it just would not make sense to take the championship off Kenny Omega at this time. Omega is not only the AEW World Champion but also the IMPACT Wrestling World Champion and AAA Mega Champion. The second he loses one of those titles, it will be downhill for the self-proclaimed “Belt Collector”.
In his story with Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston, there is still potential for this feud to continue and morph into an even greater story. They're clearly not done with each other.
Omega is continuing his story and has stated that he actively wants to pursue other championships. It's still a long time before that title leaves his waste.
Now, in the case of the AEW Women’s Championship, Hikaru Shida was the champion for over a year. At Double or Nothing, she lost the title in a hard-fought match against Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D.
It surprised many fans that it took Baker this long to become the AEW Women’s Champion given the fact that she was seen as the face of the women’s division since the start of AEW.
She's competed all over the world and was one of the more experienced women’s wrestlers on the roster. Since AEW has faced a lot of criticism over their women’s division, this change should spice things up a bit.
With a new champion and a new show coming up, there is a world of opportunity for the competition to step up on the women’s side of the company. It will be interesting to see what feuds are yet to come for Britt Baker.
