One big thing: Freddie Prinze Jr. advises AEW to let the Britt Baker-Mercedes Mone rivalry simmer
Former WWE writer Freddie Prinze Jr. is advocating for a slow-burn approach to the budding feud between Britt Baker and Mercedes Mone in AEW.
Key details:
• Baker returned from injury at AEW Forbidden Door, targeting Mone
• The two exchanged words on “AEW Dynamite”, with Baker challenging Mone to a match at All In
• Mone has yet to respond to the challenge
What they’re saying:
“Give time, let it marinate,” Prinze Jr. said on his “Wrestling With Freddie” podcast. “Don’t rush this one.”
By the numbers:
• Baker was sidelined with multiple injuries, including a mini-stroke
• Mone currently holds two championships: AEW TBS and New Japan Strong Women’s
Why it matters:
This feud has the potential to be a marquee program for AEW’s women’s division. A well-paced storyline could elevate both performers and create multiple high-profile matches.
The big picture:
AEW has a history of extended feuds, such as the MJF-CM Punk rivalry that spanned three matches. Prinze Jr. suggests a similar approach for Baker and Mone.
What’s next:
Mone is scheduled for a championship toast on tonight’s “AEW Dynamite”, where she may address Baker’s challenge.
