Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. is about as real as it gets.
The AEW Women’s Champion recently spoke with Bleacher Report‘s Kenny Herzog and explained how she’s from the ‘real name’ generation alongside established names like Chelsea Green, Deonna Purrazzo, Rachel Ellering and Tessa Blanchard, two of those women serving as her opponents at the famed All In event in Chicago.
“I always say my generation was the real-name girls. Because it was Chelsea Green, Deonna Purrazzo, Rachel Ellering, Tessa Blanchard and myself,” she stated. “Whether they were trained at a more prestigious school or had the TV experience or Ring of Honor experience, I didn’t have any of that and was one of the last ones in the mix, so of course it’s an uphill battle.”
Baker would then pinpoint her appearance at ‘All In’ in 2018 as her ‘breakout’ match to put herself on the map in the world of professional wrestling.
“I was the girl who nobody knew who she was. Madison [Rayne], Tessa and Chelsea had all been on multiple TV shows by then. They had traveled the world. I had graduated dental school; that was my claim to fame at the time. So that was really a test for me. I was the underdog. It’s kind of funny, after that, that I’m one of the top girls at AEW now, so it’s kind of cool that it’s come full circle.”
