Britt Baker recently did an interview with Sports Illustrated, where she discussed a wide range of topics.
During the interview, Baker discussed her loss to TBS Champion Mercedes Mone at AEW All In.
“It was such a surreal moment for me just to be able to be in the ring with — I’m sorry, she’ll always be Sasha Banks to me. Mercedes (Moné) is my competition, but Sasha is my idol and they just so happen to be the same person. Which is really cool. I definitely think match placement on that card hurt us a little bit, some might say a lot. It’s a long night. It’s a big crowd. They see a lot of wrestling and they get tired and I don’t blame them at all for that. And how many crazy, insanely talented matches were on that show? I mean, All In, every year has to be one of the best wrestling shows of the year. Every single year. I just think, how lucky am I that I got to wrestle someone who literally inspired me to be a professional wrestler? People talk about their idols, some people, their inspirations aren’t even living anymore. I got to wrestle mine in London at Wembley Stadium. You have to look at the positives and things like that. And like I said, there are days where you delete social media. And I had quite a few of those days because people, again, they make up stories and make up narratives. They think they know what’s happening in matches. They have no clue. They’re so wrong and you just want to grab them and shake them and say shut the F up. You don’t know what you’re talking about. But you can’t do that. What you can do is delete the app, and basically, if I don’t see what someone’s saying, it’s not real. Perception is reality and if I don’t perceive the thing you’re saying, it’s not real to me.”
