Britt Baker On Mercedes Mone: I Have A Different Vision For AEW Than What She Does

Britt Baker recently did an interview with Renee Paquette on Close Up, where she discussed a wide range of topics.

During the interview, her AEW return at Forbidden Door and feuding with TBS Champion Mercedes Mone ahead of All In.

“First, and even now, it’s exciting. She’s arguably one of the biggest names in women’s wrestling and has been for a very long time. It’s cool that she chose AEW first and foremost. My pride and my heart started beating. It’s rewarding. I’m a part of something. I’ve helped build something that a star like Bryan (Danielson), Mercedes, Jay (White), Adam Copeland. They chose to come here. That’s so cool. They didn’t have to and they did. That was super rewarding because she’s always been one of my favorite wrestlers, and I’ve been very open about that. I’ve said that in many interviews. It was always a dream match of mine,” said Baker.

She continued, “Then, I started really paying attention to the things she was saying. You always have to have your finger on the pulse. To sort of brag about, ‘I’m the highest paid female in wrestling. I’m this. I’m that.’ What are your intentions? What are your intentions? To be the highest-paid female and talk about everything you’ve done and accomplished somewhere else, or are you here to be part of the revolution here? What’s going on in your heart? What do you really want to accomplish here? That’s where I start asking myself the question of we are on the same page with what our goals are for AEW. If we are, great. If we’re not, I think we’re going to butt heads. I have a different vision for what contributing to AEW is than what she does.”

“This might be, a little arrogant of me, but I’m going to say it anyway. One of the best things that happened to me, in my career and my position in AEW and where I’m at, was Mercedes coming here. It was almost like I heard the bird calls for Britt Baker to come back because the shiny new toy isn’t so shiny when it’s right in front of your face. Let’s bring that old toy back that is tried and true and is always going to be there. For me, the best thing that happened for my career was Mercedes Mone starting her AEW career. It made people want to see me back and put her in her place and show her what AEW is really about.”
