13 Ups & 2 Downs From AEW Dynamite (Feb 12)
7. Britt Baker Just Kills It
Britt Baker is straight-up killing it as a heel every single week and last night may have been her finest effort yet, with the dentist drawing mad heat in Texas.
She chastised Tony Schiavone's "stupid question" about justifying what she did to Yuka Sakazaki by stating that as a dental surgeon, she has ethical and legal obligations, one of which is improving the health of the public. A bunch of impenetrable jargon followed as she patted herself on the back for removing Sakazaki's tooth for free before it fell out anyway, before turning her attention back to "Mr. Starbucks."
Ripping Tony is easy heat because he's such a beloved figure, and it worked again here. "I'm seeing a lot of confusion in these chubby Whataburger faces" is what really got under the Texas crowd's skin, though. They hated Britt for this, and that helped make another searing, effective promo from the evolving heat magnet. She's doing a tremendous job with this new character.
