7 Ups & 2 Downs From AEW Dynamite: Fyter Fest (13 July)

6. The Sandbag Gag

A short backstage segment saw Toni Storm and Thunder Rosa claim they were ready to fight anybody on the AEW roster, leading to Britt Baker and Jamie Hayter's intervention, braggadocio, and a delicious gag.

After Jamie Hayter's deliberately lame assertion that AEW was a "natural disaster" without them, Baker said she was well-versed on how to handle a Thunderstorm. Enter: Rebel gleefully carrying a sandbag into the scene, dumping it in Tony Schiavone's arms.

This is how you poke fun at yourself without descending to farce. Allegations that Thunder Rosa had sandbagged opponents have hung in the air for several weeks. Here, AEW blew them to pieces hilariously.
