IMPACT Wrestling Slammiversary 2021: 10 Things That Must Happen
3. Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D Is Deonna Purrazzo's Mystery Opponent
Would they?
Britt Baker wants it. Scott D'Amore is open to it. It'd rule incredibly hard. It needs to happen.
As the AEW Women's World Champion, Baker is yet to hit her stride with the strap around her waist. Come on, wrestling Vickie Guerrero wasn't going to do her any good, and it certainly didn't work as a building block en-route to her impending title clash with Nyla Rose. By showing up unannounced as Deonna Purrazzo's mystery challenger, you're getting 'The Doctor' back on track.
Needless to say, there are endless possibilities as to who could answer the call of Scott D'Amore and Gail Kim for 'The Virtuosa', ranging from WWE releases to indie standouts. As alluring as any of them would be, you're creating an immensely buzzworthy moment by introducing Baker as the surprise opponent.
That the duo also haven't had a singles match since Ring Of Honor's 2017 Survival Of The Fittest event is mind-boggling. Both competitors have come a long way since that 17 November 2017 date; their in-ring efforts, their character work, the different paths they've taken to reach where they currently are.
It's the women's wrestling dream match, as far as your writer is concerned anyway. Hell, it's a dream match full-stop. It's bound to go down at some point, even more so with the Forbidden Door reportedly swinging back open.
Don't mess up this opportunity.
