10 Ups & 2 Downs From AEW Dynamite (Apr 8)

8. Britt Bloody Baker

We caught up with Britt Baker and her bloodied face for an improvised interview in the second hour - and she was tremendous.

When asked if she thought Hikaru Shida had lived up to her number one ranking, Britt said no. Number one means being a role model, not a dirty player like Shida, whom she called the dirtiest wrestler she has ever fought. Baker said the Japanese star should be thankful she didn't touch her teeth... but even if she did, Britt would fix them herself, because she's a dentist.

Baker continues to be one of the most improved performers in the company. The difference between the misfiring, awkward babyface of old and detestable dipsh*t her character is today is stark, and it's nice seeing them leaning into the old "did you know Britt Baker is a dentist?!" meme too.
