YMMV / Britt Baker

  • Awesome Moments: Her unsanctioned lights-out match against Thunder Rosa on the 17th of March "St Patrick's Day Slam" special episode of AEW Dynamite was the match that solidified Britt as the top woman in AEWnote . A full-bore hardcore match where the two women destroyed each other with every weapon they could get their hands on, Britt may have lost, but she proved herself to be the toughest woman in AEW just for being able to stand up to Rosa (who at the time was still actually an NWA wrestler) for as long as she did, being busted open and bleeding until she'd rated at least an 0.5 on the Muta Scale, taking a Death Valler Driver from the turnbuckle across a propped-up ladder and then a flat back powerbomb onto a pile of thumbtacks, and needing Rosa to give her a Thunder Driver off the apron through a table to beat her. The legendary Mick Foley himself gave it his seal of approval.

  • Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: Britt's initial face run in AEW was rather unsuccessful, with fans regarding her as bland, overpushed and still somewhat green, with her wrestling dentist schtick being played so straight it was almost a parody. Her heel turn was seen as a promising change, especially after a brutal match against Hikaru Shida where she fought on after receiving a severely bloodied nose, but it was the character work she was forced to rely on following an unfortunate injury that kept her out of the ring, together with bringing in Rebel as her new assistant and formulating a comically abusive "friendship" with Tony Schiavone, that really got people on board with her. Her eventual return to the ring was highly anticipated, and her ensuing feud with Thunder Rosa (especially the savage unsanctioned match they had which made Britt's previous scuffle with Shida look like a playground squabble) convinced everyone that she was the future of AEW's women's division. So much so that when CM Punk and MJF confronted one another in the ring for a promo shootout in November 2021, Punk had this to say to MJF:
    Punk: You're too busy talking about how you're the most powerful of the "Four Pillars", you don't even realize you've been replaced by Britt Baker!
  • Rooting for the Empire: By the time of Baker vs Shida II at Double or Nothing 2021, Britt was so over with the AEW fans that, despite being an absolute heel and using multiple cheating tactics in the match, the fans still blew the roof off cheering for her when she won.
