Big Bad Blog Video Theater-Toni Storm and Ruby Soho vs Hikaru Shida and Britt Baker

Here's the match video of Toni Storm and Ruby Soho vs Hikaru Shida and Britt Baker from last night's episode of AEW Dynamite. This was supposed to be a six woman match with Jamie Hayter and Saraya added to each side. But AEW announced before the show that Jamie was "not medically cleared" to compete. Jamie was not there and Saraya was. My guess is it's a phony injury and this was always planned to be a standard tag team match with Saraya interfering at the finish. The big news is Hikaru's return to Dynamite with new gear and music. She makes her own gear and the music is by a guy who also works with the Makai theater group. BTW, Hikaru just returned from doing a Makai show in Japan and she also appeared on an OZ Academy show. And I will repeat that it is in her contract that she can return to Japan for Makai shows. The match is better than average. Hikaru looked great as she always does. The finish with Saraya getting on the apron and handing Toni a can of spray paint which she used in Britt to get the win made the ref look like a moron. AEW's habit of making their refs look stupid is one of my biggest pet peeves and one of the main reasons I don't watch the show anymore. I watched the Blue Jays game last night. But I thought Hikaru's fans would like to see her new gear. They announced afterwards that Toni will get a title shot at All In which is the main reason I think Jamie's injury is phony. If the injury is real, they can't be sure she will recover in time. Details, details. AEW's new Saturday show was announced yesterday. I don't even know if it will air in Canada. Enjoy the video!
