WWE Stars Reached Out To AEW Star After Recent Match

An AEW star has opened up about her recent match, noting that WWE competitors reached out to her following the brutal bout.

Britt Baker and Thunder Rosa main evented the latest episode of AEW Dynamite in an insane Lights Out match. According to Baker, many of her friends and former colleagues reached out to her after the bout.

Speaking on Oral Sessions with Renee Paquette, Baker revealed that her partner, Adam Cole, watched her big match backstage during NXT. Explaining that Cole never misses a career highlight of hers, she noted that Cole thought that her match was one of the best gimmick bouts ever.

Baker admitted that she got excited when Drew McIntyre contacted her after the match. She also revealed that Trent Seven, Bayley, Candice LeRae and Mick Foley had all praised her efforts.

Here is the full quote:

“As soon as we got to the back, they’re taking the tacks out and he was texting with Jeff Jones. He went to grab the phone to FaceTime, I’m covered in blood, and Jeff was preparing him, ‘She’s okay.’ He was so happy. He actually watched the match when it was playing when he was backstage at NXT. He does not miss a big moment. He was watching on his phone. His text almost made me cry. He said, ‘Britt, you literally made history’.

“‘This is one of the best women’s matches I’ve ever seen. One of the best gimmick matches period,’ and just saying how the match will always be remembered. That was really what I wanted more than anything; to put out something people would remember and would go down in the history books. The first of anything will always be remembered, but something that draws true emotion out of people, and that’s what they remember, not because it was the first, second or third something.”

“Drew McIntyre messaged me. I was really excited about that. Trent Seven, who is one of the funniest guys, messaged me. I had a nice message exchange with the other role model in wrestling (Bayley). One of my favorites, I’m literally a fangirl of her. She’s the best. Candice LeRae, who helped train me and is a hardcore legend herself. Mick Foley loved it. We also talked about getting him hooked up with fixing his teeth.”

Baker vs. Rosa went down as an instant classic. Many fans have already predicted that this contest will define a key moment in women’s wrestling history.

Tony Khan had nothing but good things to say about the match. You can watch the AEW locker room’s reaction to the match here.
