Yeah, bluntly, he 100% was right. As great as the match was, they should have had Baker go over if she was going to be the face of the division afterwards. Bloody feud enders should mean something, and heels should be chastened in some way by definitively losing, or why care if they lose?

Not that I don't disagree but we also sort of need to remember two things here;
1. The feud against Britt was mostly in Britt's favour. Sure, Rosa won beatdowns but the two matches they had, Rosa lost by cheating. In the logistics of the feud, Rosa had to win and for her to win a unsanctioned match, it makes sense that she gets her win and has something over Britt for when they inevitably face off again after Britt wins the title. So yeah, I'd like her to do more but there also isn't much more for Rosa to do right now and another reason for that is...
2. She's still an NWA signed talent at the end of the day. The contract is going to expire this year, yes, but her main focus (besides various indie dates) is finishing off her feuds there and putting talent over before likely becoming a permanent AEW talent. It's not like she isn't doing anything either since she does Spanish commentary but in that sense, she's really limited in how many matches she can wrestle when NWA need her for PPVs and Powerrr every week until such a time where she can die on her sword and do the rematch with Britt and Serena when she's healed.
So I get it but it's not like there's no reason for this to happen at all.

Yeah, I get the contract thing AND all your reasons make sense, but if the story ends we’re her triumphant victory, then you plan on elevating the loser…write a different story.

Britt, the heel, used the match not officially counting towards the rankings to her benefit and proceeded to go on a winning streak to inflate her record and challenge Shida, while using the advantage that Rosa isn't a contracted talent and isn't here all the time to her benefit as well, to eventually get to the top of the rankings and challenge Shida.
I don't think it was a way to overshadow Rosa, I think it was Britt making lemonade out of the bloody lemons she was left with, and succeeding.
It also leaves the window open for if Britt wins and Rosa comes back and wants the belt from her.

You always do a better job writing the stories than they do,
I love AEW BTW. I know I’m nitpicking . I feel like everyone just said Lance was wrong, and he wasn’t.

I appreciate the compliment but I mean that really is the route Britt took it, like from the fallout she used the rankings system and the fact the Rosa match didn't count to worm her way to the match I'm just happy we're getting Shida/Baker 2, their first match ruled, and Baker's even better than she was then.
