Since she joined AEW, Britt Baker has become one of the company’s top stars. Her success came with some challenges, and she had to adjust her career outside of the ring.
Speaking to WWE Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page on DDP’s Gauntlet, Baker said that she doesn’t work as a dentist full-time anymore, simply due to the distraction her fame quickly became. (H/t Wrestling Inc.)
“It was turning into, like a comic-con, where people were coming in,” Baker said. “Because you can find me. People were coming in and asking for autographs and pictures. And like, they’d schedule appointments, take up appointments slots. And my staff, they were like ‘Whoa, we got to make money. This isn’t it, this isn’t it Britt.’ And then there’s just some scary fans. Like, where we had to call the cops, and they were going to come and kill us.”
“I love it,” said Baker. “And when they need me, they call me, I’m there. If the other dentist is sick, they need help, or if it’s some of my ride or die patients that don’t want to see anyone else, I’m in there. There’s this kid that I love seeing. But it’s just, right now, wrestling has to be at the forefront.”
