Former AEW Women’s Champion Britt Baker gave a recent interview in which she discussed how her television time has been “backed off” as of late, and how that’s both a blessing and a curse. Baker chatted with FOX Sports AU in a recent interview about her schedule these days.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
Her current schedule in AEW: “Right now I’m not having weekly matches, I’m not having weekly promos, so it’s a little bit backed off. I try not to bother him and bug him [Tony Khan] because there are hundreds of other wrestlers texting him on a daily basis, I’m sure. But for example, when I was champion, I was texting with Tony several times a week with different ideas, and he was sending me his ideas, and he’s very straight-up with me. He’d tell me ‘Britt, that’s not a good idea, I don’t like that’, or ‘Hey, let’s make this better’, and I really appreciate that from my boss. Honesty is one of the most helpful tools anyone can ever give you when you’re learning your craft, especially when you’re learning TV professional wrestling. I couldn’t ask for a better boss than Tony Khan, and he has helped me so much growing as a performer, as a wrestler, as a human being. He’s really a special guy and we’re lucky to work for him.”
How the schedule is both a blessing and a curse: “Anything that’s gonna help the roster and the product is good for us, as long as no-one’s getting too beat up or too worn down. Selfishly, I love it because of my career as a dentist, but also three hours a week of TV is not a lot of time when you have so many talented wrestlers you’re trying to get on TV, to tell their stories, to have these great matches. It’s kind of a blessing and a curse: I love it, but you always want more.”
