Dr. Britt Baker DMD vs. Hikaru Shida vs. Jamie Hayter vs. Toni Storm

[4.0] "For the talent involved in this match, it didn't live up to what it could have been. They all worked very hsrd but the crowd was not heavily invested in this match and that is on the promotion for at the time they were really bad about putting effort into the women's division. The Hayter and DMD tension was nice but a very underwhelming affair. **"

[7.0] "This worked best as a three way between Britt, Storm, and Hayter. Thats where all the best story moments came from, with the brief alliance against Toni ultimately leading to Tonis victory in a brilliant finish and some very clever booking. Shidas involvement just complicated things and the injury angle was a bit pointless."

[8.0] "A real good four way match between all four women, the in ring action was good, Hayter showed to be a rising star, Baker's turn on her added tension and Toni winning the belt was well deserved."

[6.0] "Good match. We could clearly see Jamie Hayter starting to get over with the public there. I think this had great moves and interesting production, but just like The Acclaimed vs Swerve In Our Glory, the fan favorite didn't won - {**3/4}"

[8.0] "Very well deserved win for Toni Storm. She was really the best wrestler of the match. The battle was going okey, satisfactory at least, but then the final minute elevated the match to another level, it was great to see that these wrestlers can sell a good storytelling, despite their in-ring action needs to be improved. Good match, really nice action. [****]"

[6.0] "Not a very good start but I was able to hang on as the match went on. The alliance between Baker and Hayter kept me in suspense. (3*)"

[7.0] "This was definitely a mixed bag. There was a lot of clunky, slow action here. However, there was a lot of fun, hard-hitting stuff here as well. Storm getting the win is also super cool, as Ive been a big fan of her for quite some time. Everyone else had a solid showing overall, also."

[6.0] "This match was good. Hayter, Storm and Shida looked very good while Baker didn't looked fluide at all and in general was always a step back the other three. There were a couple of cool sequences and I really liked how Baker tried to steal the win from Hayter's hands. The ending was a bit anti-climatic with Storm winning after a jumping ddt but that's fine. Shida's comeback "after the injury" was done too quick. 6/10 - 3.25*/5*"

[5.0] "This actually wasn't a bad match because both Hayter and Storm were good here, and both seem to be head and shoulders above the rest of the women's roster in AEW. Shida gave one of her better performances here, which isn't saying much in my opinion, but she didn't feel too out of place. She needs to drop the kendo sticks and chairs though. Britt looked bad as per usual. Hayter's offense had nice explosivity and the crowd cared about her the most, and I guess only cared about her really. **1/2"

[6.0] "Fine match, once again bad placement and a dead crowd that hurts match, but also there is nothing memorable here, but it wasn't bad."

[9.0] "A sleeper hit. Jamie, Shida, and Toni all looked great. The teased dissension between Jamie and Britt will hopefully lead to Jamie going over."

[6.0] "Decent match with non-stop actions. All participants have good time to shine with their own signature moves. Nothing exceptional but nothing horrible at all. They really tried hard to follow a show stealer."

[7.0] "Another day and another women's match that was placed in the wrong spot. No disrespect to the women's performances as all four did very good with Hayter becoming the workhorse again. She gained a huge following here and I plead the creative to break her cuffs and let her thrive as a singles star. She has most of the tools to shine bright in the division, but it is what it is. Felt good to see Shida back in the picture and she gave her best while Baker played the story as a despicable turncoat well. Storm winning was the planned one and it's a safe bet for the time being until we see a game changing winner of the title soon. 3.25 out of 5 stars!"

[5.0] "I feel like this would've been the time for a Jamie Hayter win but it seems like they're going to wait on that, Toni was the next best choice. Not really much to talk about with this one it was just sorta there for me."

[7.0] "Good Fatal 4 Way, but it made an error: it came after Swerve in Our Glory vs Acclaimed, therefore the crowd wasn't very interested"

[7.0] "An enjoyable 6/10 that was elevated by the finishing sequences with Baker, Hayter, and Storm, and the overall star-making performance Hayter put in."

[7.0] "Such a difficult task to come right after Swerve/Lee vs. Acclaimed but all four women did pretty well. Pity that the crowd wasn't invested in the first half, but at least, they were all behind Hayter, who showed once again she's the workhorse of the women's roster. Storm and Shida were great as well. Baker was just here for the storytelling, but she did it nice. Some good spots there and there whereas the action had good intensity at key moments. A bit predictable at the end, but nevermind."

[7.0] "The previous match on the card sapped the crowd dry of enthusiasm. It's a shame, because I feel like this was a pretty darn good match. Hayter was the star here, and I'm hoping her angle with Britt leads to bigger and better things for her. She, Toni and Shida each deserve more time to shine on TV in general."

[9.0] "Great match in my opinion, everyone involved performed extremely well. Shida was my favorite of the bunch and Hayter was impressive as well. I liked Britt's showing but I'm glad she didn't win. Toni as winner didn't seem very over with the crowd but what can you do."

[8.0] "I thought that was a great 4-way match. All 4 women worked really well, and lots of storylines progressed really well, with the tease of Jamie Hayter and Britt Baker breaking up was a good point. I'm happy for Toni Storm, as I feel she really deserved the win. 8/10"

[8.0] "This was pretty good; the crowd really wanted Jamie to win! I am from Southampton myself so I kind off wanted that too. Except; I would rather that happen in some kind of alternative future where Tony Khan actually cares about his women's division... Otherwise she would just end up as a transitional champion if she had won it here I think."

[5.0] "What was up with the random Shida injury angle...? Why do that here only to have her be a non-factor for the finish? Poorly constructed. Other than that this was mediocre and completely unmemorable at best."

[7.0] "This was good. It's not easy to make fatal 4 way matches unique, since the pattern of " two people are interrupted by another person" endlessly repeats in these types of matches. That being said, I didn't mind the match layout and there were some cool sequences. Everyone looked good, although both Britt and Shida looked a bit cold next to Hayter, who had the best crowd reaction, and Storm, who is still " new" enough to feel fresh."

[6.0] "Poor Shida, she deserved better. Poor Jamie, she deserved better. Poor Britt, she doesn't deserve to be in a PPV if she can't wrestle. Good for Toni. Sad that Rosa still has that title"

[7.0] "Hikaru Shida is just a terminator, she suffered a lot of damage, but in the end, unfortunately, she could not fight for supremacy and lay outside the ring. DMD showed her disguise and framed her friend so she also tried to defeat her in a sneaky way. Jamie Hayter has been asking for a transition to the bright side for a long time. Toni Storm becomes a temporary champion and here a rather interesting story opens up, too. As a result, a good match, where the girls were not allowed to get bored."

[6.0] "I'm really glad Britt did not win this one again and she got the best result by playing up the heel really well and turning on a close friend to set up a feud coming out of thi sPPv. Storm is a great choice in my opinion as a champion and really showed that she can go with all sorts of women on the roster. Hayter's star power went up from this and she has moved past the muscles for someone else. Shida didn't really get anything out of this but still added a lot to the match. ***1/4"

[6.0] "This was okay, most of the work was fine it just suffered the usual downfalls that come with a four way match. The Shida injury spot was weird and forced which dampened the impact of her return. They teased Baker vs Hayter and the crowd seemed fine with Storm winning despite her getting the least amount of reactions from the crowd throughout the match."

[7.0] "Really enjoyable match but unfortunately it was placed in a spot where the fans were deflated from the match before so that took a little away from the match."

[9.0] "This was a great match, it had everything - great spots, great story with Britt Baker preventing Jamie Hayter from getting the win, lots of relatively clean action (not many botches). Hikaru Shida once again shows she can really elevate the women's division. I would have preferred if Shida or Hayter won but I get why Toni Storm won."

[2.0] "The entire point of a multi (wo)man match is to trade storytelling for a bunch of fun spots and this couldn't even accomplish that."

[8.0] "Good wrestling match. Nothing to complain about really, solid match with a cool story element of Britt sorta betraying Hayter."

[6.0] "This was a good match but the crowd really wasn't interested in this. The spot where someone leaves in a multi-person match only to come back later is so tiring but Shida attacking Britt and Jaime with the kendo sticks was exciting. The teasing of the Britt Baker win and her drama with Hayter were the two noteworthy of the match. Toni was cool even though it probably should have been Hayter.***1/4"

[7.0] "Best AEW womens match in a long long time. I loved that Jaime was get the crowd chants. Please for the love of god pull the Jaime / Britt split already. I was happy with the finish and ending. crowd sucked. It almost felt like the crowd was being intentionally quiet because all 4 wrestlers worked their butts off. No botches, great pace, awesome spots especially the hayter bridge tombstone - Britt pulling the ref out - Also Jaime's new gear is fire."

[7.0] "Cool match, but deserved way more time. Also, Hayter should've won. Maybe one day Tony will understand how to book a women's division."

[8.0] "I thought this was a legit very good match. Shida and Hayter were the standouts and Toni did well too. I don't want to beat on the dead horse but Britt was easily the worst throughout the entire match, her stuff literally looks so soft and unimpactful. Good result and storyline development. ***3/4"

[7.0] "A somewhat divided fight, it has been good and that is to be appreciated, the effort of all in the ring was noticed, but otherwise, thank goodness that Toni Storm won, while watching that story between Jamie and Baker, where it looked like a betrayal, I thought that one of the two would win, but finally Storm won, finally."

[8.0] "I will give it a high rating because I feel it was probably the best women's match AEW has ever done."

[8.0] "I loved this match, I thought it was much above the usual AEW ladies' match in both intensity and quality. Brit and Jamie story is subtly progressed, Shida looked great, and kudos to Toni for the win. Some innovative transitions and pin breaks I haven't seen before."

"[7.0]"This match is quite good, it would be better if it could be longer little bit. Congratulations Toni Storm!"

[5.0] "A dull match for the most part. Britt is not a good worker and Toni is only marginally better in the ring than her (but isn't as charismatic as Britt), while Shida has had zero momentum on TV to justify being in this match besides this past week. Hayter though, she's clearly a star. The crowd knew this and popped whenever Jamie did anything, from her power moves to her nearfalls. The seeds finally being set up for a Hayter face turn save this pretty poor match, alongside Shida going crazy with the kendo sticks after returning from the back. **1/2+"

[6.0] "Apparently there was a match that happened during the moment of silence for The Acclaimed losing their title match. The early part of this match includes a slow pinning sequence that leads into an awkward looking submission pile. The match gets way better once it becomes a triple threat between Hayter, Storm and Shida-- including a really good looking double suplex-lariat combo from Hayter. There was a bland Rebel interference spot, as expected, that did nothing for anyone. Following that up was the Shida injury spot that killed this match more, but her very, very prompt return did revive some of the fans. Thank God for Shida-- she starts carrying the match towards the end. It's so clear that no one can keep up with her-- compare this to her recent Ice Ribbon matches and it just makes ya wanna cry. Fortunately, the other three wrestlers exchange of moves and pins was good at the end, especially Hayter's tombstone counter. The Storm Zero Baker pin was also a great falsie. This many words should never be typed for a 3 star match-- I am so sorry."

[5.0] "Both women matches felt very rushed and unscripted for the worse. At first I thought we're gonna get a classic story of face being attacked early and then coming back for finish, yet Shida came back too early to make this move matter. Wrestling was not remarkable. **3/4"

[7.0] "Wouldn't have been mad if Hayter won but think Storm still deserved to have her moment not changed due to her opponents injury. Wanna see Britt vs Hayter already. Make it violent."

[5.0] "So Shida is "injured" and taken to the back, but comes back 30 seconds later? A baffling plot point in a match-type already too insufferable (four ways are awful)."

[7.0] "I think the match itself could have been better. Felt like it lacked some chemistry, and I really don't have a good idea why AEW crowds go so cold on women's division matches. It's frustrating, honestly. I think the storytelling though that will develop out of this match moving forward may be more important than the match itself."

[7.0] "Hayter should've had her moment and I think we're getting there, but this was a good match hindered because the crowd was totally dead due to the masterful tag match. Jamie is over man, her time will come soon."

[5.0] "This match was pretty well worked, but the crowd was absolutely dead and did not help elevate it like you would have hoped."

[7.0] "Britt didn't win, shockingly, which improved the match, and hopefully if she's out of the title picture going forward the division will improve. The match was a bit patchy, and the storytelling a little chaotic, but was overall pretty good, even if Hayter should have won."

[7.0] "Jaime Hayter is dope, and her time must come and she should probably turn on Britt when it does happen. But for now, it really is Toni Time. She has been such a hit in AEW, that it feels like she has been with the company from Day 1. She completely surpassed Thunder Rosa in several ways and she does have the "IT" Factor to boot. Congratulations to Toni Storm. It should be a good title reign. She also should defeat Thunder Rosa in the Title Unification match."

[7.0] "A perfectly fine match but the crowd really wanted Hayter and after several other losses by faces I think their pick to win here losing deflated them. Toni deserved better and the match is a good quick four way. The Shida injury spot/return felt unnecessary."
