This week’s AEW Dynamite featured a first-time match-up between Britt Baker and Taya Valkyrie.
They started off with fast-paced back and forth that resulted in Valkryie taking control. She dropped Baker with a lackluster Road to Valhalla before delivering a number of elbow strikes on the mat heading into commercial break.
After the break, Baker maintained control with a ripcord elbow strike and pinfall attempt, but Taya quickly kicked out. They rose to their feet and traded forearm shots followed by kicks and knee strikes. Baker managed to hit Panama Sunset for a nearfall before she pulled out the glove.
Valkyrie bounced back with a spear and attempted Road to Valhalla again, but Baker reversed it into Lockjaw to score the submission victory after a 10-minute affair.
Nyla Rose and Hikaru Shida are set to renew their rivalry on Friday’s Rampage as they both are looking for a world title shot at Wembley Stadium. A women’s match has not yet been announced for Collision.
