10 Things AEW Are Getting Absolutely Right At The Moment
9. Britt & Tony
You can't plan chemistry. Pro wrestling history is littered with seemingly perfect bedfellows who just couldn't create magic together, legends of the sport who seemed to become amateurs when paired with each other. Just as you can't predict bad chemistry, you can't predict those who are going to be excellent together. That's just how chemistry works.
Nobody would have guessed that one year into Dynamite's existence, Britt Baker and Tony Schiavone would be the pairing with the best on-screen chemistry in the company. Baker has been a revelation since turning heel but her momentum was cruelly stopped by a couple of serious injuries, robbing her of what should have been nine months of development and excellence. Not to worry, as Baker continued to shine in backstage segments, getting her heel persona over and learning how to perform in the process.
Her relationship with commentator Tony Schiavone is one of the most peculiarly entertaining parts of Dynamite. Baker actually turned heel when she berated Tony on the Jericho cruise, but the two have since developed a weird dynamic that hasn't really been explained and may well be all the better for it.
