Jamie Hayter, jeez. She’s a believable powerhouse, yet her selling is fantastic. And she is getting more and more over with the fans.
I hope the split between her and Britt happens relatively soon and that it’s basically female Triple H vs. Batista. She has so much potential as a badass babyface.

Britt is probably still winning, but they've given us a reason to think Riho might win and Hayter as an X-factor that might snap and cost Britt the title adds some intrigue.
If her entire reign had been booked more like this, people wouldn't be so tired of it.

Honestly more I think about it more I want them to swap it around and have Ruby beat Britt and Rosa beat Jade. It'd be nice to see someone else get to knock Britt down a peg seeing as Rosa's already done it, and you could do the eventual Rosa / Britt rematch paying off that idiotic promo where Britt immediately dismissed the TBS title as worthless the second it was announced by having her fail to win it.

Literally my biggest memory of her on the main roster in WWE was her cutting a weird promo where she sounded like a serial killer during the Riott Squad period. I can't stress enough how much better AEW have done with her already. Remember when she feuded with Natalya over Sunglasses and then with Ember Moon over a broken Nintendo Switch? I unfortunately do... Ember feuded with Mandy and Sonya over a broken Switch, not Ruby.

She was so over when she won the title, but not sure where she lies with fans now.
Not been the best reign, but they haven't really given her the best competition.

I think it'd probably help if they'd just pick a lane with her finishes? Every match she has, tonight included, always has her cheat like crazy and basically just be Dental Mahal as much as possible, but also the cheating all fails and then she just wins on her own super decisively anyway. Either make her a cheating coward or make her a badass final boss, you can't do both.

The match was great tonight, probably Baker's best defense
They eliminated the interference and finished the match proper, imo it's a fine way to show Britt's still got her friends but she still has the talent to stand out on her own. She barely retained and Riho looked great coming out of it being able to withstand so much
If this match showed anything, it's that Baker's title reign isn't lasting much longer. She barely escaped with a win here. Her time is coming.

With Rosa currently busy, then who will be next in line? Serena?

Well, count me in the minority of people that liked Britt vs. Riho and thought it was a good match. I don't think Baker's title reign has much longer left in it though and now's the time for AEW to pick who's next and bring them up to Britt's level of star power.

It's not a minority, plenty of peeps said they liked it in the live thread too, the people who didn't like it are just being pretty loud about it. And again, not saying you can't not like the match, just feels like some people are taking Britt's reign a bit too personally. I would be shocked if she holds it past Revolution. It really feels like if her and Rosa picks back up it either wont be for the belt or it'll be for the TBS belt in the future. That'd be my prediction anyway. If Baker can bring her match quality up to what she did with Riho tonight though? Imo her title defenses will be much easier to stomach.

Because heaven forbid we just get to the damn point. There is also the possibility that Ruby wins, and then Rosa takes the TBS, and Baker and Rosa fight over that Every time we start calling someone in AEW a title choke artist, they win a belt.

What took me out of that match was that not only was there cheating, but it was right in front of the referee and he did absolutely nothing for a few before finally throwing Rebel out. Even JR thought it was stupid. And then Britt won anyway.
It was a good match until then, but that segment and the ending was a wet fart.

"That's a good way to get disqualified" and I laughed to my friends and said something like... "oh JR this AEW ... you can't get Disqualified in AEW." again it's my biggest issue with AEW... the refs come off as powerless or just flat out idiots... if there are rules... there needs to be consequences for breaking said rules or ... THERE ARE NO RULES.

She won again?
Guess there goes the "guys she's really about to lose Saturday given Jade won" comments I've been seeing online.

Also babyfaces always have to look stupid when facing Britt. Why is Riho going out there alone when she has to know Britt will bring her goons with her? Tony Khan turns into Vince when he books Britt and Jade.
Also I can only see 27 interference spots in a match so many times. EVERYONE looks stupid when this happens.
Britt has been champion for EIGHT months, and she’s had ONE good feud during that time. And even her character is far less interesting. I think it’s been proven that Britt is just not built to have long title reigns. If she is champion, they need to be shorter.
When you compare this to the Elite/Hangman stuff, THAT’s how you can do a slow burn and make it work.

Enjoyed the match tonight, would have liked it better if Riho actually took the win, ESPECIALLY after such blatant dissent between Britt and Hayter
