#1 Feuds outside of the AEW Women's World Championship program

During the ongoing pandemic, the feud between Dr. Britt Baker and Big Swole has unquestionably been the highlight of the AEW women's division. The company's ability to continue to build Baker even though she is injured has been tremendous. Dr. Britt Baker has been a revelation for the company in 2020. Since she turned heel in January, Baker has been one of the best characters in all of AEW. It has been remarkable to watch her play of the fan's criticism of her babyface character at the start of the promotion.

Big Swole has proven to be a proper foil for Dr. Baker. Swole has an in-your-face babyface persona, which is easy to get behind. Viewers believe she will deliver comeuppance to any heel that gets in her way.

This feud has propelled both women over the past few weeks. It has been an ongoing highlight on Dynamite for most of the fanbase. However, the success of this feud begs the question: why can't AEW do this with other women in the division outside of the title programs?

AEW showed with their world title and tag team divisions that they can showcase interweaving stories that promote the performers and those respective divisions. The company introduced an interesting character in Abadon a few weeks back. She's a character with a unique look, who has made quite the impression in her debut.

AEW featured her on Dark, but she has not made a return to Dynamite yet. Abadon could start a rivalry with Penelope Ford. Ford plays the beautiful yet dangerous girlfriend and valet of "Superbad" Kip Sabian very well. The differences between the two characters could be a logical introductory feud for Abadon.

Anna Jay has also made her debut and joined up the Dark Order. The Dark Order could have had attempted to bring in another new addition to AEW in recent weeks, Diamante. This could've transitioned nicely into a rivalry between the two when Diamante declined. That is just two relatively simple secondary feuds that AEW could have presented to their fanbase.

Although there are flaws, AEW's women's division has potential. They have a solid cast of women, who may not be the best in-ring performers, but they all present different and unique characters that can be featured on AEW Dynamite and Dark weekly. The talent is available, but right now, the booking and presentation aren't there yet. Hopefully, the much-needed improvement that fans want is coming soon.
