Britt Baker: Adam Cole Lives For Pro Wrestling, His Fatal Flaw Is He Cares So Much

Britt Baker and Adam Cole have each climbed to the top of their respective divisions.

The former Undisputed Era leader rose to success in WWE, capturing the NXT Championship and racking up an impressive 396-day reign. A year later, Cole’s real life wife Dr. Britt Baker DMD secured the AEW Women’s World Championship, reaching a respectable near ten-month reign. Though they soared in different companies at the time, the couple still highly supported each other.

In speaking on the Swerve City Podcast, the “DMD” opened up about their unique dynamic. “He is literally my biggest fan in the world,” she said. “It doesn’t matter what he has [going on]. When my Lights Out match aired, he had it playing backstage at NXT because he did not want to miss it. He would watch my segments on TV when he was working at NXT because it was the Wednesday Night Wars at first, don’t forget. He would always text me and say, ‘Hey, I watched this’ and give me feedback right away.

“He’s always so wonderful with giving brutally honest feedback in the nicest way possible. Because sometimes our feelings can get hurt, but [he responded] in the nicest way possible. We’re kind of past that too. He’s pretty much like, ‘Hey, this is cool, [and] this sucked.’ I don’t really see it that way, my time, his time. I think it’s just different.”

Amidst his absence from wrestling due to injury, Baker continued on to praise Cole’s friendly nature in response to recent online criticism. “Talk about social media, he’s the nicest guy I think in all of wrestling and gets so much hate for no reason. He has not been on TV for months and he’s trending every other day for something like this reason, that reason. ‘We don’t want him here. We want him here,’ this, that. ‘It’s like, shut up and leave him alone and let him heal.”

“He loves wrestling more than any fan on the planet. He lives for professional wrestling and all he wants to do is put on a good performance for all the fans. That’s all he cares about. So it’s like when these fans just get on him about something, it’s so frustrating and heartbreaking to me because I know all he wants is to make fans happy. Whether it’s like, be the best heel he can be or be the best babyface he can be.”

“If you ever meet him at a meet and greet, he will sit and talk to you and listen to your life story about professional wrestling for 20 minutes because he wants to hear it. He wants to learn about you as a fan and what your journey and what your passion is. He’s just he’s that kind of guy. He cares so, so much. That’s his fatal flaw. He cares so much about everything and everyone.”

“He’s excited for everyone too, he really is,” Baker emphasized. “If someone has a great match because, you know, some people get weird and jealous, but he’s so excited. When he sees his friends [perform well] he’d be like, ‘Oh my God, that was so amazing. That was so cool. Britt did you see this? Look how cool this this is.’ He’s just so excited and happy for everybody. He wants everyone to do well.”
