Britt Baker Explains Decision To Step Back From Dentistry

AEW

Britt Baker has explained her decision to step back from dentistry.

Since the inception of All Elite Wrestling, Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. has always been positioned as the top star of the company’s women’s division.

As the first woman signed to the promotion and a former AEW Women’s World Champion, Baker has accomplished so much over the course of the past four years to establish herself as a name in the professional wrestling business.

On August 1, Baker took to social media to reveal that she had taken “a small step back’ from dentistry over the past few month to focus on her AEW career.

Speaking on the Jon Chuckery Show, the former AEW Women’s World Champion further elaborated on her decision to take a step back. She said:

“With the ever changing and every growing schedule with AEW, it was getting really hard to manage because I don’t want to be calling off last minute at the dental office all the time if Tony [Tony Khan] needs me for something for a TV taping or to go do media or an event.”

“I hold myself accountable to be available for those types of events because I’m one of the faces of AEW and I want to be available for everything like that.”

“Unfortunately, that means…I don’t want to say closing the door, but I’m definitely taking a step back from dentistry.”

“It’s not fair to be canceling on patients all the time if something else popped up and it’s not fair to the staff. My staff is absolutely fabulous at the dental office, I love them to death.”

“I’m still there a few times a month to check in on my old patients to make sure everyone is okay. I don’t really accept any new patients just because it was getting really tricky to navigate the waters of fans coming into the dental office and not really knowing who is there to be a patient and who is there to get an autograph and picture.”

“It’s fun, but at the same time, it gets frustrating for my staff when they are there to see patients and keep a successful practice going.”

Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. will face The Bunny with the winner moving on to AEW All In to join Hikaru Shida, Toni Storm and Saraya in the AEW Women’s World Championship four-way match.
