Britt Baker Details Advice From Top WWE Star

AEW

Former AEW Women’s Champion Britt Baker has revealed some advice she received from former WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair.

Baker most recently teamed with partner Jamie Hayter in a losing effort against Hikaru Shida and Toni Storm on the October 12 edition of AEW Dynamite.

Baker has reigned atop the AEW women’s division for over a year, dating back to her championship victory over Hikaru Shida back at Double or Nothing in 2021.

Despite dropping the championship to Thunder Rosa back at St Patrick’s Day Slam, many believe Baker to still be the focal point of the division, with her capturing the Women’s Owen Hart Cup Tournament victory at this year’s Double or Nothing.

Speaking to Swerve Strickland and Monteasy on Swerve City, Baker had the following to say about comparisons made between herself and the Queen.

She said:

“I do get compared to Charlotte all the time on Twitter. For me, okay cool, one of the best women’s wrestlers of all time. You’re so mean for calling me that. People don’t understand the constant pressure that comes with all the hate that you get. We are people.

“On Twitter, they dehumanize us, ‘Oh, we’re just wrestling characters,’ but we’re not, we’re people. This is our job and we want to be good at our job. You’re doing everything you can to not mess up, but sometimes you still might. The next day, you’re working ten times harder to make sure you’re not making the same mistakes because we’re human.

“Being the face of the division, you’re under a microscope. No matter what you’re doing, what you’re saying, everyone has you under a microscope and they are looking for any second to twist and turn your words.

“To watch a match, and all of a sudden they know it all. ‘Oh, I see what happened there. Britt did this wrong because she did that wrong and told Tony (Khan) this, this and this. That’s why this happened.’ No, it’s not. This was written three weeks ago.

“You can’t let that get in your brain or you will drive yourself insane, because I have. It’s taken talking to people like Chris Jericho, Tony Schiavone, and Tony Khan to say, ‘Do not listen to Twitter. Get it out of your head. It’s not real. Listen to your co-workers and peers and people you look up to in wrestling. Listen to the fans.”

Baker continued on, revealing some words of advice Flair gave her.

She said:

“Back to Charlotte, her and I have chatted, and she has given me so much great advice just to get through this. She’s given me solid advice to just stay true to what you know is true.

“Don’t worry about the narratives that fans are creating or what they want to be true because you know what’s going on and what you’re working with. She’s been fantastic to me.”

Baker is currently at loggerheads with Saraya (FKA Paige in WWE), with the two seemingly set for a clash at the upcoming Full Gear event.
