10 Wrestling Matches We Need To See On AEW TV
6. Britt Baker Vs. Bea Priestley
Although the ending to the women’s battle royale was a little cheap, it does set up the feud that is brewing between these two quite nicely. Despite what WWE seems to think, you actually can have a women’s feud not centered around a title.
This has been brewing quite nicely, extending back to their heated meeting at Fight For The Fallen. A stiff stomp from Bea could very well have been the cause of Britt’s (real, not kayfabe) concussion. That combined with Bea costing Britt her title shot and the fact they already attacked each other on sight, and this is quickly becoming a great rivalry.
Even Will Ospreay (dating Bea Priestley) made it a point to reach out to Adam Cole (dating Britt Baker) on Twitter and ask “we cool right”. This led to Cole’s response of “We’re cool man...our ladies not so much…” Even they can feel the tension building.
This type of organic involvement will only further sell what should be a great match between these two. The brief moments of greatness we saw at Fight For The Fallen before Britt suffered injury are a good preview of what is in store.
And remember, a real-life injury is what helped turn Becky Lynch into The Man. Maybe women’s wrestling’s next biggest success story will be The Dentist.
