6 Ups & 6 Downs From AEW Dynamite (Dec 16)

4. Britt Baker's Gonna Die

Thunder Rosa

A good, fiery promo from Thunder Rosa here, raging at Britt Baker for telling her she doesn't belong in AEW, when the good doctor was the one that buttered her "big nose" in the former NWA Women's Champion's business in the first place.

Things escalated when Rebel walked up, ripping Rosa's "horrendous laugh" (excellent, given Not-Reba's role on Dark's Waiting Room segment), opening the door for Baker to ambush. Trapped in Lockjaw, Rosa had her facepaint rubbed away as Rebel poured water on her from above.

"Does this thing still work or did her ugly face break the camera?" said Baker, having poked the bear.

The big takeaway from this hot angle is that Britt is in big, big trouble, and doesn't understand who she is messing with. Rosa sounded ready to kill her at the start of the segment, let alone by the end, and with each of their interactions delivered the right level of heat so far, the match is definitely something to look forward to.
