All Elite Wrestling Stars Britt Bakker knows she’s not for everyone – and she’s done apologizing for that.
Baker, 33, has been a pillar of the AEW women’s division since the company’s founding in 2019, meaning she has plenty of experience dealing with the infamous professional wrestling community.
In an exclusive interview with We weeklyBaker explained why she’s done withholding anything.
“I’m exhausted,” Baker said. ‘I’m not going to be polite anymore. Leave me alone. Civility is 2024. Everyone has to be real and authentic and the world will be a better place.”
Liv Morgan has reached the pinnacle of professional wrestling, but she wasn’t sure she would ever get there. In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, the 30-year-old WWE Women’s World Champion opened up about her decade-long rise to the top of the company and her red-hot feud with Rhea Ripley. “Are […]
It’s been a year of highs and lows for Baker, who has dealt with a slew of injuries that have kept her from entering the ring for any length of time. In October, Baker’s old partner, Adam Coleconfirmed that the couple had split.
“Roller coaster is a good word,” Baker said afterwards. “But I don’t think it’s appropriate either, because on a roller coaster there is a starting point and an end point. I can’t really say where the rollercoaster started and I certainly don’t know where it will end.”
Baker said she’s had to “dig deep mentally” at certain points this year, especially when it comes to dealing with her brutal online critics.
“You can never believe what you read about yourself, whether it’s really good or really bad, or you may end up on drugs and sedation,” Baker noted. “It’s hard because we live in a world where social media is so prominent. Social media actually fuels what we do.”
Baker continued, “We trust it. But man, is it poisonous? It’s brutal. There is a whole population of people on social media who just want to make you feel bad about yourself. It’s crazy that we live in a world where that’s their mission. “I’m going to wake up today and tweet ten mean tweets to Britt. I’m going to take a lunch break. And then I might do ten more.’ It’s bizarre.”
On the plus side, Baker appears in the ninth episode of Cobra Kai‘s sixth season, which debuted on Netflix on November 15. It’s a role that Baker himself, quite literally, initiated in the show’s Season 4 premiere.
“I met one of the writers, Hayden [Schlossberg]and I was like, ‘Oh my God, I’m Britt,'” she recalled. “He recognized me from social media. I was joking, but not kidding, “If you ever need anything, I’m a big fan and would love to be involved.”
Baker said she “kept eavesdropping” on Schlossberg until her perseverance finally paid off.

“Finally he called me and said, ‘You really have the Cobra Kai never say that attitude. If you are interested, we have a role in mind for you and this is what it is,” Baker recalled.
Baker plays Oksana, one of the Russian senseis from the Tiger Strike dojo who participates in the Sekai Taikai tournament. Despite appearing on the show for years, Baker still hasn’t seen the episode.
“I have to be honest, I haven’t even seen it yet,” she admitted. “I want to wait until it all comes out so I can watch it all!”
