The primary February episode of AEW Dynamite happened final evening from Hunstville, AL. The present featured the returning Yuka Sakazaki in her Dynamite debut taking over Britt Baker.
Earlier than we get to all of the goings-on on Dynamite we had just a few attention-grabbing issues happen on AEW Darkish. First, we acquired a match between Hikaru Shida and Mel of the Nightmare Collective. Whereas the match was good and noticed Shida decide one other victory, the primary speaking level popping out of the match was that Mel and “Japanese Deathmatch Legend” Luther turned on and attackedAwesome Kong.
Superior Kong Medical Replace: on this week’s episode of #AEWDark Kong suffered severe accidents by the hands of Mel & Luther. We have no idea when or if she is going to return to motion. pic.twitter.com/3lELXkbrOK
This mixed with Brandi Rhodes‘ remedy session movies, wherein she appears to be coming to phrases with the stupidity of all of it, might hopefully spell the tip of the poorly acquired faction.
We had been then handled to AEW’s first intergender tag group match that featured AEW ladies’s champion Riho and Kenny Omega tackle Kip Sabian and Penelope Ford. The match happened on the Chris Jericho Rock and Wrestling Rager at Sea. The kicked off with Ford difficult Omega. The 2 tousled earlier than Sabian challenged Riho. The match was good enjoyable and featured some very satisfying spots with Ford and Riho particularly getting the possibility to shine. After the match, Kenny took to the mic to deal with the group and commemorate this second. Again to the matter at hand, AEW Dynamite continued to deal with and push Britt Baker’s heel flip. After slicing one other scathing promo concerning the dental hygiene of the group she took on the ‘Magical Lady’ Yuka Sakazaki.
The 2 opponents locked up for a collection of arm, wrist and headlocks adopted by strikes and a few high-flying offence. Baker and Sakazaki would commerce assaults for close to falls till Baker tried to submit her opponent with Lockjaw. Nonetheless, Baker’s in-ring frustrations continued when Sakazaki countered the transfer right into a cradle for the shock victory.
Baker would snap and assault Sakazaki with the ring bell to the again of the pinnacle. Baker’s dastardly deeds wouldn’t cease there as she positioned Sakazaki’s mouth on the underside rope earlier than viciously stomping the of her head inflicting her to lose a tooth. Baker’s onslaught would proceed as she cranked within the Lockjaw to completely solidify her new and improved villainous methods.
This fast however good match was all concerning the post-match angle, which was executed very properly. Sakazaki because the returning, fun-loving, fan favorite babyface was the proper sacrificial lamb for Baker’s punishment.
In a while the episode, it was introduced that Riho would return subsequent week to place her title on the road in opposition to Nyla Rose. May we see a brand new champion or will the brand new Britt Baker insert herself into the combo? Winner: Britt Baker
Heel flip full and evil dentist with a superiority complicated it's. That is simply the character shift that Baker wanted to spice up her profession. Her vicious promos and violent offence to this point have been satisfying and in a roster brief on heels we have now plenty of new matches within the pipeline. A heel Baker vs Riho can be an attention-grabbing dynamic, as would matches in opposition to Shida and Statlander. Baker has the chance to develop into the driving power of the ladies’s division with this heel persona far more than her bland babyface character ever did. Extra of this, please. Loser: Yuka Sakazaki
I imply in the event you depart the match with lacking tooth you must be the loser proper? I used to be nice to see her again in AEW regardless of it being in a shedding effort. The post-match angle offers her ammunition for revenge and her affiliation with Riho furthers Baker’s disdain for the AEW ladies’s champion. A revenge storyline and potential team-up with Riho could possibly be on the playing cards that may be useful for all concerned. Remaining Ideas:
A fast match but extremely efficient angle. Many assumed, together with me, that the consequence can be in Baker’s favour as to ship a message to Riho. Nonetheless, the angle acquired Sakazaki a win all of the whereas furthering Baker’s heel flip and persevering with her upcoming feud with Riho. All in a superb day’s work I say. We now have a multifaceted heel with an attention-grabbing story and character growth inside a division that has been crying out for such. Plus there was no Nightmare Collective once more so positives throughout.
