AEW Dynamite: Results, Highlights, and Grades for October 23, 2019
A video aired for Britt Baker, and it introduced us to her beyond her being a dentist. This was fantastic. More of these! This was so good.
Jamie Hayter (0-0) vs. Britt Baker (3-2)
Hayter is Bea Priestly’s partner in Stardom, so there is a tie in for this match. Hayter hit a suplex on Britt in the corner before mocking the crowd. The crowd chanted “Brittsburg” as Hayter beat her around ringside a bit. Hayter threw Britt into the guardrail, but Britt responded by hitting a sling blade on the floor!
Britt rolled Hayter up several times for a 2 count, then hit a hanging clothesline to drop Hayter to the mat. Hayter pulled Britt down by her hair and started to lay in elbows on Baker. Hayter scrapped her boot across the back of Baker’s neck several times. Jamie Hayter locked on a camel clutch, but fishhooked Britt. She then sucked her own finger and gave Britt a wet willy, and it actually got heat.
Baker and Hayter exchanged forearms, but Hayter locked on a sleeper hold. Baker dropped backwards to break the hold. Baker hit another sling blade for a 2 count. Hayter blocked a suplex and hit a chop before hitting a sitout suplex herself for a 2 count. Hayter hit a running knee strike for another 2 count. Hayter raked the eyes of Britt, but Britt still fought back and hit a superplex.
Hayter hit a uranage and a lariat for the 2 count. Hayter hit the ropes, but Baker responded with a superkick, a cutter, and a swinging neckbreaker for a 2 count. Britt hit a second superkick that dropped Hayter to the mat, and Britt Baker locked on Lockjaw and Hayter immediately gave up!
Result: Britt Baker
Rating: ***1/2 (3.5 stars)
An excellent showcase for both women here, as Hayter came across as a major star, and Britt looked awesome as the hometown hero. Unlike WWE, the hometown wrestler didn’t lose in her hometown. Britt is still green, but she looked very good here.
