AEW Women’s Champion Britt Baker made an appearance on the latest episode of the Throwing Down Podcast with Renee Paquette and Miesha Tate to discuss a wide range of topics.
During it, she named several top WWE stars that were the inspiration for her to get into the business.
“When I first started training, when I was like, ‘Hey, this is something I want to do while I’m in dental school,’ what really motivated me was when I saw the Sasha, Bayley, Becky, Charlotte matches that were happening on NXT at the time. Which is crazy because now we’re all like, quote-unquote competing against each other,” Baker noted. “But those are my idols, those are the girls that I enjoyed watching, and I think with women’s wrestling, the thing that I find is a trend that the most successful women are the ones that have the utmost confidence in themselves, and who they are, and that character.
“One way or another, if you’re a good guy or a bad guy and you just own it and you bring that ‘bad b—h’ vibe energy one way or another, I think those girls, to me, those girls are the ones that I want to watch.”
