Britt Baker Escaped With A Win
AEW Women’s Champion Britt Baker faced Abadon in a Trick or Treat No DQ match. Before the main event, Mark Henry interviewed Britt Baker and Abadon in split screen. Mark Henry said that the “treat” in the match will be a future title shot for Abadon if she wins the match. Mark added that the trick is that this match is no disqualification, and asked if Abadon had any tricks up her sleeve.
Abadon answered like a zombie and Mark comically said “it looks like Abadon doesn’t have a comment”. AEW Women’s Champion Britt Baker claimed to be highly confident and noted that she brought a couple zombies with her and pointed to Rebel & Jamie Hayter dressed up. Baker vowed to sent “Abby” back down to hell where she belongs. Mark Henry then pointed out that Abadon had already left to end the promo.
Baker got out of the ring and told Hayter and Rebel to get her some treats from under the ring. Hayter and Rebel grabbed a steel chair and a table as Rampage went to a break. When Rampage returned, Abadon was in control and bashed the AEW Women’s Champion in the ribs with the steel chair.
Abadon put the chair on top of Baker and delivered a Senton. Abadon put the chair in between the ropes but it backfired. Baker sent Abadon into the chair and went for the cover but the challenger was able to kick out at two. Hayter and Rebel dragged Abadon out of the ring and set her up on top of the table.
Britt climbed to the top rope but Abadon was able to fight herself off the table. Britt hit a Neckbreaker onto the table and the two bounced off of it and to the floor. Baker then Suplexed Abadon onto the table but it wouldn’t break again. Abadon battled back and rolled the champion into the ring.
Abadon brought out thumbtacks and scattered them on the canvas. Abadon went for a DDT on the thumbtacks but Baker battled free. Abadon connected with a Uranage on top of the tacks for a two count. Britt launched a chair at Abadon and bashed her into the chair in the corner. Baker put on the glove to set up for the Lockjaw but Abadon had already recovered.
Baker grabbed a bunch of thumbtacks and put them in Abadon’s mouth. Britt hit a Superkick and applied the Lockjaw with thumbtacks still in Abadon’s mouth. The crowd chanted “holy sh*t!” as Abadon bit Baker’s hand to break the hold. Hayter and Rebel attacked Abadon again and Britt capitalized with a roll-up for the pinfall victory.
