#3 Britt Baker and Thunder Rosa deliver the best women's match of the week on AEW Beach Break
Trending
Weekly watchers of AEW know that each episode of Dynamite guarantees at least one match of the week contender. AEW critics love to bring up the fact that their women's division leaves a lot to be desired. On AEW Beach Break, those critics were proven wrong.
AEW's women's division was badly missing Britt Baker in the latter half of 2020. Thankfully, the good doctor returned near the end of the year and has been on fire since. She faced off against the former NWA World Women's Champion this week, and the two stole the show. Thunder Rosa, alongside Serena Deeb and some other late additions to the roster, helped to bring out the best in the women's division.
On Wednesday, Rosa, one of the most exciting wrestlers in the States, had a hard-fought battle with Dr. Britt Baker. Not only did they manage to put on a great match, but it ended up being the best performance of the night, even outshining Kenny Omega, The Good Brothers, Jon Moxley, and Death Triangle in the main event.
Late into the match, an Air Raid Crash set up Britt Baker for the Lockjaw. Rosa managed to escape momentarily. After a curb stomp, Rosa fought out of yet another Lockjaw attempt. The former NWA Women's Champion seemed poise for victory, but a distraction from Rebel, who yanked off a turnbuckle pad, was enough to buy Baker some time.
Baker escaped the Fire Thunder Driver and drove Rosa's face into the second turnbuckle with a swinging flatliner. At that point, Rosa was out like a light. For good measure, Baker locked in the Lockjaw, getting the victory over Thunder Rosa.
This absolutely lived up to the hype, and you have to know that we're just getting started with this rivalry. And it's exciting to know that the next match will be that much better.
