Ruby Soho debuted in AEW two weeks ago at All Out and won a battle royal to earn a shot at Britt Baker’s AEW women’s world championship. Their title fight will go down next Wednesday (Sept. 22) in New York City at Dynamite Grand Slam.
On tonight’s (Sept. 17) episode of Rampage, Soho and Baker added some final hype for their match with a face-to-face promo battle in the ring. Neither lady hesitated to blur the lines between kayfabe and reality.
Soho went in on Baker “banging some dude in the back”:
“Shots fired.” - @OfficialTaz

The shots continued from there, with Baker talking about Soho being fired by WWE. Soho said it was the best thing that ever happened to her, as she finally has the freedom to be herself in AEW.
Soho pushed things too far when she said Baker’s head was far up Tony Khan’s ass. That’s when physicality ensued:

Do you agree with AEW commentator Chris Jericho that Baker and Soho just had themselves a money segment right there?
