3 Ups & 4 Downs From AEW Rampage: Fight For The Fallen (Aug 18)

1. Remember When She Was Over?

There was nothing wrong with Britt Baker's backstage promo next to Renee Paquette. A screenshot from that was chosen, because well...she didn't really get a lot of screen time even after running in post-main event. The lack of crowd pop she got from the fans was actually pretty embarrassing too.

What happened here?!

Britt sprinted out to save Hikaru Shida from a beatdown at the hands of The Outcasts, and you'd swear Jon Cruz was returning from earlier for another cameo. That's how little people cared about Baker, which is actually depressing. Britt's stock has fallen off a cliff - even with AEW's hardcore audience.

Go back and watch the moment when her, "The Doctor Will See You Now" line hit over the PA. Approx two people raised an arm and cheered, whilst the rest just stood silently waiting for the brawl. Yikes! Britt's gone from most over woman in the company to someone peeps barely even react to.
