Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. addressed WWE showing interest in her during a recent interview with ‘Inside The Ropes‘.
Baker is the current AEW Women’s Champion and was also the first female talent to sign with AEW. She has been booked as one of the strongest female talents in all of professional wrestling, which means she has little interest in leaving the company.
Regardless, WWE was known to have interest in her over the past year or two. Talking about this, Baker said “They definitely expressed interest—unfortunately, I’ve got to pick and choose how I say this—but I just feel like you can’t trust anything with that company, whereas at AEW I’ve never been promised anything that didn’t follow through. So it’s something that, unfortunately, it’s sad that it comes down to that, that it makes a company not really desirable because you can’t trust anything they say. And I know business is business, and I understand totally that’s what it is, but as a wrestler, business is business as well.”
Elaborating more on the fact that AEW never promised something and then did not deliver, she said “Everything AEW had done for me, with the growth I’ve had here, most importantly how much fun I have here, I truly love going to work every week; I never dread it and that is something that is invaluable, you can’t ever give that up and if you find something where not a day in your life feels like work then you absolutely can’t give that up. That’s where I’m at right now. I’m too thankful to AEW and Tony Khan and everybody who has trusted in me, because without them I wouldn’t be where I am right now.”
