AEW Women’s World Title Match!
Hikaru Shida (c.) vs. #1-ranked Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. (with Rebel)!
Baker looked for lockjaw right at the start of the match, but Shida rolled out. Shida attempted a knee strike, but Baker dodged it. There were dueling chants from the crowd.
On the outside of the ring, Shida rammed Baker into the steel barricade. Shida used a diving crossbody to take down Rebel and Baker! Shida charged in for another knee strike, but Baker countered it and she had the champion reeling here. Baker bounced Shida’s head off the mat with a curb stomp. Baker put her glove on and tried to apply the Lock Jaw, but Shida rolled out of the way to create distance.
The champ fired back up and grounded and pounded Britt Baker! Shida used a hammer throw to whip Baker into the corner and then followed up with three consecutive knee strikes! Shida began to gouge Baker’s face.
“Wow, this behavior is so unlike Shida,” noted Tony Schiavone.
Baker and Shida began to slug it out and Baker got the better of it after a fishermen’s neck breaker. Baker went for the stomp again, but Shida moved and tried to counter with a stretch muffler. Baker grabbed the bottom rope to break the hold. Baker took down Shida with the sling blade. Baker followed up with the air raid crash for a near fall! Shida fought back with a German suplex for a two-count on Baker! Shida was going for an avalanche death valley driver but Britt escaped…but not for long because Shida superplexed Baker!
Shida applied the stretch muffler submission, but Rebel distracted her. Rebel accidentally clocked Baker with her crutch. Shida nailed Baker with the Falcon Arrow for a near fall. Baker superkicked Shida right in the face with the belt and followed up with a curb stomp, but Shida kicked out!
“Holy Shida!” said Excalibur.
“What a pro wrestling match we’re watching right here. I’m loving this!” replied Jim Ross.
Baker applied the Lock Jaw and Shida tapped!
And new AEW Women’s Champion…Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D.!!!
Tony Schiavone left the broadcast booth to hug Britt Baker and congratulate her.
