AEW Double Or Nothing: 8 Matches We Want To See

6. Tessa Blanchard Vs. Britt Baker

The same goes for the female ranks.

It was slightly surprising that Cody and The Bucks didn't announce a few new female signings at the Double Or Nothing rally. Britt Baker instead told how the company would quickly assemble one of the best women's divisions in wrestling today, and those words came after Brandi Rhodes claimed AEW would pay women the same as men.

That's a nice touch, no doubt, but we were hoping for a few concrete names to join Baker. Not to worry, there's someone waiting in the wings: Tessa Blanchard. She already worked All In last year, and she's someone Cody has spoken highly of in the past. It'd make sense if Blanchard was brought in to wrestle Baker in May.

Tessa has been making waves in Impact recently, and she'd be a perfect starting point for the female division Britt and Brandi were talking about. Then, some imports from Japan (something else Rhodes mentioned at the rally) could join them and flesh out the roster.
