#7. Britt Baker and Riho vs. Bea Priestley and Shoko Nakajima

Result: Bea Priestley and Shoko Nakajima defeat Britt Baker and Riho via pinfall.

Grade: B

Don’t be fooled by its ranking on this list, this was a very good professional wrestling match and might even be the best pre-show in AEW’s short history. The AEW women’s division is yet to find its footing but the contenders are slowly getting separated from the pretenders.

It is quite clear that Britt Baker has been earmarked as the top babyface of the women’s division. And if the events following this match are anything to go by then Bea Priestley might very well be her archenemy. The two women brawled after the match which might very well be an indication that the two will face off at All Out with title implications.

Riho also deserves special mention for her performances in all three AEW events till date. Her wrestling ability as well as underdog appeal is for all to see. Despite being the one taking the pinfall on this occasion, the  Japanese star has already done enough to become one of the centerpieces of AEW’s women’s division for the foreseeable future.
