Wrestle Review: AEW Double or Nothing 2019

#5 An Awesome Match?

The Welfare Queen returns to Pro-Wrestling

Fatal Four Way: Britt Baker vs. Nyla Rose vs. Kylie Ray vs. Awesome Kong/w Brandi Rhodes

The moment Brandi showed viewers her cards on the 'Road to DoN' YouTube show, it was obvious she had something devilish planned for the AEW Women's showcase match. Instead of inserting herself into the competition though, Brandi demanded this match turn out awesome and for that, you need Awesome Kong.

Unfortunately, some of the bookings seem to work counter-intuitive to this process as Kong spent a fair amount of time on the outside as did the beastly Nyla Rose. It thus became a well-paced, but sometimes unhinged showcase, between Britt Baker and Kylie Ray. Intriguingly Kylie showed facets of her happy-go-lucky personality, proving how well the Bayley caricature can work with nuanced storytelling.

Britt equally showed some grit in both mocking Kylie but also acting as the top face of the division. Britt managed to keep Kong away long enough for her to take Kylie down and win the match, makes the use of both female monsters in the contest work better than it really should.

These four women thus giving a disjointed but ultimately workable match, that means AEW's Women's division has nothing but to go up from here.

Result: Britt Baker knocks Kylie Rae out with a smooth Ushigoroshi for the win!
