Britt Baker: My Dream Is To Compete On ‘Dancing With The Stars’

Britt Baker has ruled the wrestling ring and now she wants to rule the dance floor. 

Oftentimes fans hear wrestlers saying that “wrestling isn’t ballet,” but some wrestlers have a dance background, and Chris Jericho, Nikki Bella, and Stacy Keibler have all competed on Dancing With The Stars. 

Britt Baker hopes to add her name to that list in the future. 

“Originally, I just liked wrestling and just wanted to be a wrestler because that’s what I wanted to do and that was my dream,” Baker said on the Endless Hustle podcast when asked if she has aspirations outside of wrestling. “Now, it’s getting to do the promos so much to where I’m like, ‘Man, I’d love to do acting one day.’ My all-time absolute dream is Dancing With The Stars. One day. I watch it all the time with my mom and grandma, even until now. I’ve never missed a season. When I got to be closer to Chris Jericho and I felt comfortable enough, I was like, ‘Tell me everything about Dancing With The Stars.’ He was like, ‘Really, you’re one of those people?’ ‘Yeah, I am.’ I want to do everything and anything that I can while I can. (Wrestling) isn’t forever. I know that and eventually, your time is up and I have to retreat to the dental office for the rest of my life. So, for now, I want to do everything.”

The new season of Dancing With The Stars is set to premiere in the fall. The cast for the season has not been announced. 

Baker will defend her AEW Women’s Championship on Wednesday’s Dynamite against Nyla Rose. You can view the current lineup for the card by clicking here.
