Yeah, that was pretty nuts. Pretty much sold the whole feud in general with what they were willing to do with each other here. I don't know if I'd call it the best AEW match ever but it's up there in a rapidly growing list of great matches the company has done. It's at the very least, AEW's best TV match to date.

The match was so great that I feel so tempted to buy the shirt. Watched the replay last night and had zero regrets about ordering the Britt shirt. What a f***ing legend.

I'd have to check my own standing at some point but it's certainly up there.

Baker is to this match as Austin is to the WM13 match vs Bret. The fact that they lost is an afterthought.

Meltzer called it one of the best three women's matches in the history of the United States.

I'd like to point out as a casual aew fan more line of wwe fandom this match was off the chains!!!!! I want more of these matches from everyone. Really cool to see how they were able to do it without limits. Much respect to the women for that effort they showcased. Kudos!!!!

I think Best Friends vs PnP might give it a run for its money, but no doubt a strong contender.

Meant to follow up after I watched this match. This could be a major building block of a career feud between Rosa and Baker that they could always come back to. Later down the line a title will be involved. Once we have crowds come back it'll have a big fight feel if they save their next encounter.

I do think in a year or two, when you have a full crowd on hand for it and one of them's been champion for awhile, they need to do something like this again. It was too good and too consequential to be a one-off.

They need to strap up Baker. She's ready.

Even Topanga is concerned

I feel like it's a match where Britt gained way more out of losing than she ever could've out of winning. The visual of her covered in blood lying in the wreckage of the table is money. Reba sold that table break like death. She didn't move at all.

I ... loved how both of them had a hard time not crying immediately afterwards. That is as real as it gets in sports. Giving it your all, feeling the pain, building up the anger and frustration - until it comes all crushing down on you. It is so satisfying to go backstage, be for yourself for a moment and just cry like a baby cause you feel so purifyingly violated. It's the masochistic aspect of sanctioned combat and it feels even great witnessing others experiencing it.

It's at the very least, AEW's best TV match to date. I think Best Friends vs PnP might give it a run for its money, but no doubt a strong contender. I'm also very partial to the Dog Collar match. In any case, it's absolutely phenomenal.

I had no idea Topanga was a wrestling fan, much less an AEW fan.

I had no idea Topanga was a wrestling fan, much less an AEW fan. She's not just a wrestling fan, she was pretty much a Legion Hall regular when PWG was there.

Still thinking about this match. Amazing work, on a TV match no less. These two just cemented a career long rivalry if they want one. Congratulations to both of them!

It was too good and too consequential to be a one-off. Given how hard AEW plants seeds for the future and how much they love rivalries and while letting them simmer down, never truly forgetting them, I can absolutely see Baker/Rosa being a title feud down the line.
