During an interview with “Bleacher Report”, Britt Baker discussed why going up against NXT on Wednesday nights isn’t ideal for her and more. Here are the highlights:
On Why Competing Against Adam Cole On Wednesday Nights Isn’t Ideal:
We are texting and calling each other for encouragement right up until the moment we go out the curtain. It can be a little heartbreaking when it’s the biggest night of his career or the biggest night of my career and we can’t be there. Because we’re each other’s biggest fans and, as a fan, you want to be there and feel the energy. You want to experience it. So, it’s a little discouraging.
But we sit at home and watch each other’s matches. We actually watch each other’s whole show. We support each other’s company. My boyfriend is basically best friends with The Young Bucks, so he’s very supportive of All Elite Wrestling.
On How She Feels About Criticism Of The AEW Not Featuring The Women’s Division Enough:
You have to take it with a grain of salt when people, for lack of a better term, bitch and moan about what is and isn’t on the show. Fans are always going to find a reason to grumble. They want one thing week one, you give it to them week two, and then they don’t want that anymore. Some fans are very hard to please.
AEW, we’re still so new, so I encourage people to sit back, relax and kind of breathe with us. We’re going to give everybody what they want. Sure, there’s only one women’s match on the show. But maybe there is only one tag team match, too. Enjoy it, let us establish what our brand is, then form your opinion.
