Who did Dr. Britt Baker look up to in the wrestling business before she became an in-ring veteran herself?
The AEW Women’s Champion answered this question when asked by Miesha Tate and Renee Paquette during her appearance on their “Throwing Down” SiriusXM show.
Featured below is an excerpt from the interview where the standout performer in the AEW women’s division comments on this topic with her thoughts.
“When I first started training, when I first said this is something I wanted to do while I’m in dental school, what really motivated me was when I started watching the Sasha, Bayley, Beckey, and Charlotte matches that were happening on NXT at the time. It’s crazy because we are now, ‘competing against each other.’ Those are my idols. Those were the girls I enjoyed watching. I think with women’s wrestling, what you find is a trend that the most successful women are the ones that have the utmost confidence in themselves and who they are as a character. One way or the other, whether you’re a good guy or a bad guy, you just own it and you bring that bad b*tch energy one way or the other. I think those girls, to me, are the ones that I want to watch. That’s what I try to portray as myself and my character when I come out. I think that’s been a lot of my success.”
