Jamie Hayter and Britt Baker were recently in England promoting AEW All In 2023. In a Q&A session at a recent PROGRESS event, they discussed a multitude of topics.
Heading into Full Gear 2022, Hayter began receiving overwhelming support from crowds as she prepared to challenge Toni Storm for the AEW Women’s World Championship. She slowly transitioned into a tweener in the weeks that followed, before the Outcasts angle turned her and Baker into babyfaces.
Discussing how and why the fans may have taken a liking to her in such a resounding way, Hayter said,
“Yeah, it was very shocking to me in a way (the crowd turning her into a babyface). But, you know, the fans just for some reason, I don’t know why, they all got behind me and that meant so much to me and when we got backstage, it was just a really hard-fought match (between myself & Toni Storm at AEW Full Gear). I think we really went out there and kicked each other’s asses, and I broke Toni’s face, sorry Toni. Actually, not sorry. I’m not sorry about that now. I’m never sorry. So yeah, the reaction was really good and it made me feel like I’m doing something right. I’m doing myself good by just going out there and doing my best and yeah, just kind of going with the flow really. There wasn’t anything in particular that got me to that point I don’t think. It was just the kind of a culmination of multiple things, so it was a really special moment for me and yeah, I’ll cherish that for a very long time.”
