AEW Women's Champion Britt Baker hits out at rival after Rampage attack
AEW Rampage saw the latest chapter of the Britt Baker vs Thunder Rosa rivalry written as Jamie Hayter defeated Mercedes Martinez with help from the women's champ. As Baker, Hayter and Rebel looked set to deliver a stomp onto the title belt, La Mera Mera emerged with a steel chair in-hand to take out the trio, before they narrowly made their escape.
The champion has since addressed their retreat, poking fun at her rival's wardrobe in a social media post. The two are scheduled to clash inside a steel cage at St Patrick's Day Slam, a rematch from their women's title bout at Revolution, and at the same event as their Lights Out match in 2021.
Honestly we ran away scared of that outfit 😱 https://t.co/JoVvyB3Xz2
