Britt Baker finds herself in an odd position as AEW Women's World Champion

The audience is dying to cheer for her, and does so at every opportunity, but her broader presentation is still heelish. Baker now has two allies in perma-sidekick Rebel and her new muscle, Jamie Hayter, which isn't ideal for somebody getting her reactions. The good doctor destroyed Red Velvet with a crutch in the build to their Rampage match, though AEW were smart enough to temporarily adjust the alignments on the go-home Dynamite.

This leaves Kris Statlander in a tight spot as well. She'll likely be booed through no fault of her own in Chicago, which could make for an awkward dynamic.

Either way, the Best Friends affiliate is there to lose. With AEW reportedly building to a broader Thunder Rosa feud for Baker in 2022 and plenty of other untouched material left for her as champion, it's too early to nip a run that people waited for over a year for in the bud.

Winner: Britt Baker
