For starters, Swole is a future star in the making, a good match vs Nyla despite not wrestling for months due to the pandemic, then a heated post match segment with Britt trying to run over her.

These two have such perfect chemistry for a feud. Trashy upper class bitch who is used to bullying people who don't retaliate vs. scrappy face who will not be intimidated - Britt comes across as dangerous because she will do anything, no matter how low, and Swole is clearly someone who can take it and fight back in kind.

Amazing segment tonight, sold this as a must-see feud for me.

I'm glad they haven't dropped the underlying tension these two had before Covid derailed things. Like, I am sure Britt and Shida have unfinished business, but I am happy to see this thread picked up again.

I’m hoping Swole stays safe. From what I understand, Crohn’s disease is an immune disorder, she might be particularly at risk.

Worth noting (but actually not), Britt learned her assistant's name. She's "Reba" no more.

My god, Swole is super underrated and Britt is one of my favourite heels going today. This should be fantastic!

Even MJF was concerned for his safety, wanting Wardlow to get in between him and Swole.

My favorite thing was Britt talking shit about bringing it to yelling "I'M INJURED! I'M INJURED!" in a snap. That was classic chickenshit heeling.

I didn't care much for Swole when she debuted, but since Double or Nothing I've wanted more of her. Add in The Public Swole Announcements coming backand her Yellow ranger gear, Swole seems to be on a roll (Swole Roll should be a move).

can you believe that Nia Jax's first two "jobber" opponents she ever had on RAW exceeded Nia herself, and have both blossomed into superstars in their own right?

I was expecting Swole to chase Britt down and give her a royal ass-whupping. That's how good that segment was.

The women's division has been the weakest link in AEW to me since it started, but Baker is singlehandedly saving it for me. Big Swole and everyone else are holding up their ends very well but she is the star of the show.

They should have had Awesome Kong won it to give the division some credibility and then build up Riho to eventually beat Kong and go from there.

The problem with the division early on wasn't because they put the title on of the more popular wrestlers in the world.

The problem with the division early on wasn't because they put the title on of the more popular wrestlers in the world. Exactly, if anything Riho was the best thing going for the division at the time. Shida hadn't moved to the US permanently yet, Nyla was slowly developing, Awesome Kong wasn't going to be able to commit to wrestling too much, Britt was failing to get over with the crowd, Allie was floundering, and Ford is only just now getting a chance to wrestle regularly. Riho was putting on great matches and was super over with the crowd. Hell, I miss her a ton right now.
