8 Ups & 3 Downs From AEW Dynamite (16 Mar)

6. Shooting With Serena

Serena Deeb
AEW

A hell of a Serena Deeb promo aired on last night's Dynamite, with 'The Professor of Professional Wrestling' popping off on rival Hikaru Shida, threatening to end her career a few days after the former Women's World Champion claimed she was going to cut Deeb's head off (!!!).

The content was simple. Shida is pissed at Deeb for destroying her knee and putting her on the sidelines, while all Serena wants to do is inflict further punishment. Textbook pro wrestling brought to another level by Deeb's excellent delivery. Fierce, intense, and confident, she was great here, having now established herself as one of the best talkers in her division.

Inside the ring and out, this 'Professor' gimmick is paying dividends.
