During an interview with Wrestlezone, Britt Baker discussed her feud with Bea Priestley as well as gave her thoughts on the Women’s World Title match between Riho and Nyla Rose. Here are the highlights:

On Her Feud With Bea Priestley:

I could say that I would have possibly just washed my hands with it. But then costing me my title match, my title shot opportunity—which, from day one, all eyes have been on me essentially—because I am one of the faces of the women’s division. And that opportunity, I was essentially cheated out of it because of Bea Priestley. So now it is a war.

My left eye—I lost peripheral vision for five days. The doctors, everyone kept telling me ‘it’s going to come back, it’s going to come back, this is going to be a recovery.’ People can tell you that every single day. But until the vision actually comes back it’s hard to believe. It’s hard to stay optimistic because it’s terrifying. You need your vision and I especially need my vision to do dentistry as well and I missed some time off of work because of that injury as well.

Clearly this isn’t a clean fight anymore because she hasn’t fought clean since day one. The second she stepped into the ring, she gave me a concussion. Her very first offensive move in an AEW ring was giving me a concussion. So, moving forward, I have this whole story just ingrained into my head.

On The AEW Women’s Title Match:

Riho is one of the fastest wrestlers I have ever seen. And she’s quick, she’s able to evade. And I think, if she’s able to stay out of harm’s way, harm being Nyla Rose. She may have a shot at winning this. She might surprise a lot of fans.
