That is the single biggest one-week improvement I have seen in wrestling. Where was she hiding this?!

I actually look forward to hearing her promo next week. I was shocked how much I enjoyed it tonight. Especially when she dressed down JR. Super heelish.

Clearly I am on the minority of not enjoying her yet.But that is not a bad thing. If people enjoy that just sucks for me

As bad as she was last week was as good as she was this week. If anything, that was one of the best heel promos I've seen done by a female wrestler in quite some time. Everything was dramatically improved, and I'll give Britt a ton of credit for putting in the effort to do so with her character and mic work. I hope she eventually sees a similar improvement in her in-ring work.

That promo this week was savage. I think her heel role is going to do her wonders. Hopefully she can translate it into in ring stuff but it already a major improvement for her.

Great promo, really awesome vicious streak. Hopefully she starts to incorporate some heelish moves and mannerisms in ring. I think a slower, heel style might fit her better. A lot of her problems feels like she's trying to do things faster than her body can do. Not saying she isn't athletic, but she just doesn't have the skill to pull off some stuff like she wants. Add some methodical stomps and shots to the jaw to soften her opponents up and I think she'd show improvement.

I'm kinda impressed at the quick one-week turnaround.

I feel like the Jericho Cruise, if she wanted it to be, could have been a perfect place for some high intensity workshoping and practice. Most of her coworkers are there and there was a legion of people able to be guinea pigs for potential styles and choices.

HOLY SHIT! The delivery of her promo this week compared to last week was an astronomical difference. Great job Britt, that was a great heel promo this week!!

I loved Britt's promo last night, I must admit. It was gold. My only worry is I hope they aren't going to give her a semi-racist heel gimmick. I'm afraid they might because of her hatred of Riho and the fact she is facing another Japanese female wrestler this upcoming week. They best be careful walking the knife's edge.

Alright...I’m wrong about her promo work. This week was solid.
I’m now hoping she is hiding some good wrestling skills somewhere too

I’m now hoping she is hiding some good wrestling skills somewhere too Probably not, but I do think a lot of that has been her not really finding a moveset that works for her, outside of her solid finisher. I hope the more heel she is, the more heel she is, the more she stops trying to do stuff like the Slingblade that she is so spotty on.

Too bad she's still a charisma vacuum, but kudos for trying so hard to improve.

This was the most I've ever liked anything from Britt Baker, her delivery was spot on and, honestly, it's not like she's wrong, JR couldn't sound more bored if he tried, but people give him a pass because he's from the Attitude Era and they don't want to admit that JR is a shell of his former self, also, it shows how little JR gives a shit about the company when he constantly gets wrestlers names wrong.
I found myself agreeing with most of what Britt said here and her delivery was great, too. This has been an even quicker turn around on someone in a positive way than the Dark Order. AEW has its problems, but I do admire them admitting when someone isn't working and going to change it rather than stubbornly ploughing forward.

Just give her the ball, I remember Michelle McCool starting the same way going from "lovin' life!!!11" to her gimmick of being the best technician of the entire women's division overnight. McCool really grew on me and she was definitely believable as the top heel after a few months, and then the Team LayCool gimmick being so over it got Low Ki (himself a charisma vaccuum) over on NXT. Britt Baker probably should have been the person to lead the Nightmare Collective instead of Brandi-- how much cooler would it have been to have Britt pulling people's teeth from their skulls rather than Brandi just cutting some strands of hair?

They gave her the ball,she dropped it to crickets. Like she had one good promo lets calm down But yeh nightmare doctor would have been dope

I am on the team of replacing JR too for someone theh can build as a young voice. But a shell of JR is still pretty good.

I said before that her bad night in the cruise could be attributable from insomnia of two jobs, insomnia from nervousness or insomnia in the cruise.
But she ran on all cylinders the next week, and was on fire.
I am liking this ageist bully character from Britt Baker. If she wants extreme nuclear heel heat, she should really really cinch this in and add this trait with the dentist gimmick. Getting this heat makes for a great product.
