8 AEW Double Or Nothing Impulse Reactions
6. Britt Baker Vs. Nyla Rose Vs. Kylie Rae Vs. Awesome Kong
AEW had tacitly pitched Britt Baker as their breakout women's star in waiting after profiled ALL IN winner Tessa Blanchard signed for Impact Wrestling over All Elite, but the show was almost stolen by the mere arrival of Brandi Rhodes' sinister surprise.
In Awesome Kong, the company uncaged a women's wrestling monster that simultaneously struck fear into the hearts of her opponents and afforded most of the hardcore fans in attendance nostalgic feelings from entirely different time.
It's a time the All Elite crew have forcibly promised to move away from, but a bikini shoot recently uploaded to the official company website seemed to imply that the organisation was still more bloke than woke.
Ultimately, Kong didn't feature heavily in the contest compared to the new recruits, with Baker, Nyla Rose and particularly Kylie Rae all stealing odd moments to shine bright on their brand new stage. Rae's bow flying off her nearly-decapitated head following a Baker boot was the spot of the match in the absence of too many others, whilst a video package for Sadie Gibbs implied that the best may in reality still be yet to come.
