10 Most Brutal Women's Wrestling Matches Ever

The most recent entry in this list, Thunder Rosa vs. Britt Baker was the most brutal women's match ever served up by a mainstream professional wrestling company.

Some matches may have managed to top the violence and insanity on offer in this St. Patrick Day's Slam bout, yet none have aired on international TV for one of the biggest companies in the pro wrestling business. It was brutal, it was bloody, and boy was it all kinds of brilliant, as La Mera Mera and the Role Model beat the almighty hell out of each other.

What makes this Lights Out content particularly special, of course, is that it wasn't just violence for violence's sake. Instead, this was a wince-inducing war that had months of backstory and groundwork to it.

Rosa and Baker deserve huge credit here, for they put together a stunning bout that elevated both talents. So often, matches featuring such violence can clearly have individuals working to make themselves look tough and get themselves 'over', but this AEW Dynamite bout had a level of selflessness in how the two competitors made each other look great.

When all was said and done, Thunder Rosa is now positioned as a true warrior destined for another shot at Hikaru Shida's AEW Women's Championship after scoring the W with a Fire Thunder Driver through a table. As for Britt Baker, this match has done for her what Triple H's matches with Cactus Jack did for the Game - in that it added a new level of toughness to the Baker character.
