Heading into those unfortunate mistakes that have gone down outside of a physical in-ring showing now, and to that moment back on the March 11, 2020 edition of Dynamite involving Dr. Britt Baker and Tony Shiavone having to subtly improvise around a cue being missed on live television.

As revealed by the former AEW Women's World Champion herself a few months on from the botched entrance, Baker's "role model" line was seemingly there to act as a cue for Big Swole to suddenly interrupt the arrogant heel mid-conversation with pal Shiavone. Unfortunately, though, largely thanks to the fact that there was no speaker set-up backstage, Swole was nowhere to be seen.

And it took another attempt at cueing Swole with said phrase before Baker's rival ultimately popped up on stage and traded barbs with The Doctor.

Credit to Baker and Shiavone as the pair managed the unexpected situation brilliantly, leaning into the sea of boos from those in attendance and throwing out off the cuff additional material as the folks backstage were no-doubt scrambling to figure out what was going on.

That being said, with the additional knowledge of Swole missing said cue, it's hard to miss the look on Baker and Shiavone's face when they both realised this particular segment was most definitely not going to plan.
