The AEW universe was electrified when Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D., made her long-awaited return after a grueling 10-month hiatus. Her comeback wasn’t just any return—it was a calculated move that placed her directly into the title picture against the formidable dual champion, Mercedes Mone. This setup, as Tommy Dreamer passionately explained on “Busted Open Radio,” is set to be the biggest draw for AEW’s women’s division to date.
Tommy Dreamer’s Take on the Mega Match
“Putting these two women together is the biggest money match for the AEW women’s division you could possibly have right now,” Dreamer declared. His enthusiasm was palpable as he delved into the dynamics that make this match so compelling. “And it’s an easy layup how you go about it—honestly, war of the words. Britt Baker can talk. The woman is a great wrestler, but she can talk. She can will the people behind her, just like she’s willed the people to hate her. And Mercedes will have to listen to what she says. Because Britt can go on that microphone.”
The Power of Words and Wrestling
Dreamer highlighted the unique abilities of both competitors, emphasizing Baker’s prowess on the microphone. Baker’s ability to engage the audience, whether as a beloved hero or a despised villain, is a rare talent. This charisma, combined with Mone’s undeniable wrestling skills and star power, sets the stage for an epic confrontation that promises to captivate fans worldwide.

I’m going to save it for Dynamite.’ A great little teaser to tell you to tune in, because I know I’m tuning in,” Dreamer remarked.
