Britt Baker had some amazing material this week, just like she did last week. But something in her delivery just does not connect in the same manner that a heel like Chris Jericho or MJF does. Had she said what she said with more conviction, her promo would have certainly been the segment of the night, in my opinion.
I hate picking on the AEW women's division every week, but so many All Elite Wrestling Superstars clearly haven't been through the NXT system and the WWE Performance Center, which lends you a certain degree of professionalism and a finishing touch that a lot of the AEW's roster, male and female, do not possess. Britt Baker just comes across as a really nice person and unless a switch in her goes off where she's able to connect with the heel within her, I can't see the turn working.
It was very hilarious indeed that Britt Baker actually took a shot at Jim Ross for getting names wrong though.
