Hikaru Shida’s AEW Women's Title reign lasted 372 days. Current champ Britt Baker's own run sits on 281 days after Revolution, so she's getting closer to breaking the record. One would suggest she's too close to the mark to let that slide now.

There's a big question over who challenges DMD at Double Or Nothing though. The Thunder Rosa bout at Revolution fell a little flat due to card placement; it came after that pulsating ‘Dog Collar’ war, and it didn't help both that they worked a straight singles match after their own prior ‘Lights Out’ battle either.

Thunder will probably get her rematch at St. Patrick’s Day Slam anyway. She faces Leyla Hirsch on Dynamite to determine who wrestles Baker there (admittedly, it was a bit odd to see a beaten challenger shoved right back into the title hunt afterwards), and will likely win out.

No-one should take the strap from Britt until she topples Shida's tally though.
