All Elite Wrestling (2019–present)
AEW beginnings (2019–2021)
On January 2, 2019, it was reported that Baker would sign with newfound promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW),[15] being the company's first contracted female wrestler,[16] and on January 8, 2019 she was officially signed to AEW, She made her debut for the promotion on May 25 at its inaugural pay-per-view, Double or Nothing, where she defeated Nyla Rose, Kylie Rae, and Awesome Kong in a four-way match.[17] [18] On July 13, she competed in a tag team match alongside Riho at Fight for the Fallen, where the two were defeated by Bea Priestley and Shoko Nakajima.[19] Baker suffered a legitimate concussion due to a kick by Priestley during the match,[20] which incited a storyline rivalry between the two.[21] On August 31, Baker competed in the Women's Casino Battle Royale for an opportunity at the AEW Women's World Championship at the All Out pre-show, during which she eliminated Shazza McKenzie, ODB, Brandi Rhodes, Mercedes Martinez, and Priestley before she herself was eliminated by Nyla Rose.[22] Baker went on to defeat Priestley in singles competition at the Full Gear pre-show on November 9.[23]
At Chris Jericho's Rock 'N' Wrestling Rager at Sea Part Deux: Second Wave, which aired on Dynamite on January 22, 2020, Baker turned heel after she berated commentator Tony Schiavone following her victory over Priscilla Kelly.[24] In May, Baker injured her leg during a tag team match, in which she and Rose went on to defeat Hikaru Shida and Kris Statlander, later stating that she would return in a wrestling role in September at All Out.[25] Baker then began a rivalry with Big Swole, which involved Swole abducting her and tossing her into a dumpster during an episode of Dynamite.[26] [27] In July, she underwent surgery on her nose to repair a deviated septum.[28] At All Out, Baker lost to Big Swole in a Tooth and Nail match, which was taped at her dental office.[29] In November 2020, Baker began a feud with Thunder Rosa.[30] The two competed against each other at Beach Break in February 2021, where Baker was victorious.[31] That same month, she participated in the AEW Women's World Championship Eliminator Tournament as part of the U.S. bracket, defeating Madi Wrenkowski in the first round but losing to Nyla Rose in the semifinals.[32] [33] The feud concluded on the March 17 episode of Dynamite in the program's first main event to feature women, during which Rosa defeated Baker in an unsanctioned Lights Out match.[34] The match received praise from critics.[35] [36] [37]
AEW Women's World Champion; hiatus (2021–2024)
At Double or Nothing on May 30, Baker defeated Shida to win the AEW Women's World Championship for the first time.[38] On the premiere episode of Rampage on August 13, Baker held on to the title by defeating Red Velvet, after which she introduced Jamie Hayter as her ally.[39] Baker successfully defended her title for the fifth time when she defeated Tay Conti at Full Gear.[40] At Revolution in March 2022, Baker debuted a new AEW Women's World Championship belt and retained the title over Rosa.[41] On Dynamite later that month, Baker lost the AEW Women's World Championship to Rosa in a steel cage match.[42]
Baker participated in the 2022 Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, winning over Maki Itoh in the first round and advancing to the finals by defeating Toni Storm in the semifinal round.[43] [44] At Double or Nothing in May, Baker defeated Ruby Soho to become the tournament's inaugural female winner.[45] [46] At AEW Revolution in March 2023, Baker began a feud with Saraya, Toni Storm, and Ruby Soho after the trio attacked her and Jamie Hayter after the latter successfully retained the AEW Women's Championship, turning face for the first time since 2020. On the July 5 episode of Dynamite, Baker competed in the Owen Hart Foundation Women's Tournament, losing to Ruby Soho in the quarterfinals of the tournament.[47] She later competed for the AEW Women's title in four way matches at All In London and on the September 13 episode of Dynamite. Following an unsuccessful challenge for the TBS Championship on the September 16 episode of Collision, Baker took a step back from performing, later stating "I listen [...] A lot of [the fans] said, 'We want less Britt Baker.' So, if that's what they want, that's what they'll get. Let me take a step back, here are the rest of the women."[48]
Return from hiatus (2024–present)
On June 30, 2024 at Forbidden Door, Baker made her return after over nine months from hiatus by interrupting the TBS and newly crowned Strong Women's Champion Mercedes Moné.[49] On the following episode of Dynamite, Baker stated that she had initially been sidelined by two herniated disks and a torn hip labrum, before suffering a transient ischemic attack in November which further sidelined her for the first half of 2024. She would then be interrupted by Moné, who Baker would then challenge to a match on August 25 at All In but was rejected.[50] On July 24 at Blood & Guts, Baker defeated Hikaru Shida in her first match since October 2023. After the match, she would be interrupted once again by Moné and attacked by a debuting Kamille.[51] Following a brawl during AEW's panel at Comic-Con the next day, AEW president Tony Khan announced that Baker would challenge Moné for the TBS Championship at All In.[52] On August 2, it was reported that Baker had been suspended after a backstage altercation with MJF and his girlfriend Alicia Atout.[53]
Professional wrestling style and persona
Baker's legitimate profession as a dentist is often referenced as part of her character in AEW, so much so that Pro Wrestling Torch observed that "it became a parody".[54] The character was originally described as "happy",[55] but following her heel turn, it has been described as "too proud" and "delusional".[56] [57] The character also began referring to herself as a "role model".[58] Using the name Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. in AEW, Baker says she intentionally incorporated "Dr." and "D.M.D." despite the tautology of employing both to enhance "her character's obnoxiousness".[59] [60] She uses a fusion of a scissored armbar and the mandible claw, which attacks an opponent's mouth, as a finisher, named Lockjaw.[61] She associates with Tony Schiavone, whom she calls one of her best friends, and fellow professional wrestler Rebel, who accompanies her during her matches.[62] [63] Baker named Bayley and Mercedes Moné among her inspirations in wrestling.[64]
Other media
Baker appears as a main cast member for AEW All Access.[65] She made her video game debut as a playable character in AEW Fight Forever.[66]
Personal life
Baker is in a relationship with fellow AEW professional wrestler Adam Cole.[62] Baker is a member of the American Dental Association.[9] In addition to working as a professional wrestler, she is employed as a dentist at a private practice in Winter Park, Florida.[67] She said in 2018 that dentistry was her "forever dream job", adding that she intended to continue practicing alongside her wrestling career and afterwards.[68] She stated that she has an agreement with her employing office for it to remain closed on Wednesdays to allow her to travel for Dynamite.[69]
