10 Best Star Making Performances In AEW

Despite the clear and ongoing issues that AEW has had with its women's division, Britt Baker has managed to cement herself as one of the company's most valuable stars. The dentist has really put herself head and shoulders above the rest of the division since she turned heel following an ill-fated start as a face in the promotion.

Despite working wonders to become an unmissable part of AEW's programming, Dr. Baker does not have a long list of rivalries or even matches that are worthy of her standing. This is in large part due to the way women are booked and agented in the company, which limits how successful the division can be despite the talent of the wrestlers involved.

However, Britt has been able to transcend these restraints in her feud with Thunder Rosa, with their first match being particularly special. The Lights Out match between the two at St. Patrick's Day Slam 2021 was a brutal and bloody affair that stands out as one of the best matches of that year and the most important women's bout the company has produced. The match was not only a breakout moment for Baker, but also for Rosa and the rest of the women's division who deserved the type of attention that was clearly not given to them for some time after AEW had formed.
