Britt Baker & Ruby Soho Had An Awesome Promo
Tony Schiavone interviewed AEW Women’s Champion Britt Baker and Ruby Soho tonight on Rampage. Baker told Ruby Soho that she was still trying to figure out who she is and is desperate to try and fit in anywhere. Britt noted that everyone knows who she is and did the D.M.D. chant.
Ruby told Britt that she was wrong and that Soho knows exactly who she is. Soho added that she simply hasn’t had the freedom to prove it. The crowd broke out in a “Ruby Soho!” chant. Ruby told Baker that she was like every other broad she has stepped in ring with “entitled and banging some dude in the back”.
Soho said she is trying figure out if there is anything more. Baker joked that Ruby calls herself “The Runaway” when she didn’t run away from anything, she got fired. Soho told Britt that she wasn’t wrong about that but it turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to her. Ruby added that she is surprised Baker can see anything with her head so far up Tony Khan’s ass. Soho vowed to take the title from Baker at Dynamite Grand Slam.
Baker went for a cheap shot but Ruby was ready and tackled her to the mat. Soho got in some punches before the AEW Women’s Champion retreated out of the ring.
