Ups...

14. Britt Strikes A Deal

Interrupted by a smooching Penelope Ford and Kip Sabian while trying to cut a promo in the weight room, Britt Baker soon turned this to her advantage, promising the Superbad Couple free dental care for a year (and Ford a year of free make-up from Rebel) if Penelope joined her fight with Big Swole, making it a handicap match. Ford thought "what the hell?", agreed, and the segment concluded.

Though the setup was contrived, this was simple but effective. Baker, a coward, stacked the odds against the babyface, using the power she has over Rebel to leverage her into a deal she didn't want to make, and of course Ford said yes: the numbers are on their side and she gets 12 months of free services to boot.

Perhaps this could lead to Big Swole recruiting Lil' Swole (Nicole Savoy) to even it out? Either way, this ticked the right boxes.
