Britt Baker almost threw up before her return to AEW.
The former AEW Champion returned after nearly a year out earlier this year at Forbidden Door. She confronted TBS Champion Mercedes Mone, setting up their eventual clash at All In at Wembley Stadium.
Britt Baker spoke with Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful about her return, revealing that she thought nobody would remember her. She also noted that the lack of control, due to it simply being a run-in, made things even worse for her. She wishes she could have actually done something, and not rely on the crowd remembering her.
Britt Baker was extremely nervous before making her return
“I was about to throw up. I told Tony ‘I’m gonna throw up.’ We were in gorilla standing there, and he’s like, ‘Why?’. And I said, ‘I just… I don’t think they’re gonna care.’. He’s like, ‘That’s the stupidest thing you’ve ever said.’
“I was really, really concerned. And really nervous that the fans were just not going to care at all. I think that’s anybody’s fear when they’ve been gone for so long or what feels like an eternity. I mean, for a lot of fans, our sense of time and their sense of time is very different because every week you’re at home feels like a year. For them, it flies by.
“This was one of the most nervous moments I’ve ever had because I had no control. It wasn’t a match that I could contribute to or make worse, or have a great spot or a bad spot. All I was doing was walking out. It’s not a promo where I can twist and turn the words to make it one way or another—just walking out. What more can you do except hope and pray the fans remember you, miss you, and give a shit.”
Baker will face Serena Deeb on the AEW Dynamite 5th Anniversary Show on Wednesday.
