8 Ups & 4 Downs From AEW Dynamite (Sep 2)

3. Tooth & Nail?

Big Swole

Big Swole is a good talker who will hopefully be granted more microphone time going forward, though her go-home angle with Britt Baker was too goofy to hit the mark.

Rebel strolled up dressed as a pizza delivery driver. This allowed Baker to jump Swole from behind, with her and Rebel literally pie-facing her All Out opponent, pushing her into a rather delicious-looking pizza, sending us to the pay-per-view in pretty wacky fashion.

In declaring "at least there was no pineapple on it," Jim Ross revealed himself a true defender of the pizza faith. Either way, this wasn't it. Baker stepping out of her wheelchair for the first time needed to be treated as a bigger moment, not a peripheral point in an all-too-brief segment, thought at least Swole came off sympathetic.
