Tony Khan seemed to be glad to witness such a product of wrestling on his show and shared his thoughts on Twitter. Tony Khan wrote: “What a great main event, thank you to everyone who joined us tonight for the Lights Out Match, @thunderrosa22 vs. Dr. @RealBrittBaker, the culmination of a classic rivalry as a 4 month story paid off in one of the greatest & most memorable main event matches ever on #AEWDynamite!”
The feud between Baker and Rosa had ignited in November after Baker cost Rosa a match against Serena Deeb which was for the NWA Women’s Championship. Baker wanted to demolish Rosa and remove her from AEW, due to her being an outsider from the NWA.
After month of brawling, they locked horns at AEW Beach Break which Baker had won after an interference from her manager, Rebel. But, Rosa got a victory to equal the terms.
