4. Women's World Championship: Britt Baker (c) vs. Thunder Rosa
It's unfortunate that the build for this match has been so undercooked.
While positioning Britt Baker and Thunder Rosa against each other is easy engagement, given their past, AEW's execution has been lazy. "These two had a great match last year, let's see them have one again!" is the basis of this paper-thin rivalry, which stinks. Both deserve more. Baker is a stadium-sized personality and the strongest character in the division, while Rosa, no matter her positioning or usage rate, is unrivalled in the division when it comes to inspiring support. That Sepultura-esque entrance theme gets a pop every time.
Victorious in last year's brutal, bloody Lights Out match, Rosa must now repeat when it matters. Baker's reign need not stretch beyond Revolution while her heel alignment still creates problems with an audience desperate to cheer for her. It's fortunate that Rosa is one of the few people Britt probably won't be cheered against, but it's clear that her future lies as a babyface.
Perhaps that turn could come following a period of post-loss reflection, coupled with a Jamie Hayter double-cross? Whatever the case, it is Rosa's time. The story of her working her way to this title shot over the course of a year, falling short on several occasions, cannot end in failure.
Winner: Thunder Rosa
