Britt Baker And Reba Are Like ‘Peanut Butter And Jelly’, WWE Nominated For Shorty Awards | FS Update
Here is your fight-size update for Friday, March 19, 2021:
– In an interview with WrestleZone, Britt Baker spotlighted Rebel (aka Reba) for the chemistry they have developed on television.
“All the credit. She, honestly, she really is the peanut butter to my jelly. Reba, I’ve said it 100 times, she’s one of the most passionate females when it comes to professional wrestling. She loves it. She eats, breathes and sleeps it just as much as I do, and this is much more than a deserved opportunity for her,” Baker said, “because she should have been the star of TV for a long time now.”
“She’s been an entertainer forever. She was a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, and my favorite of her claim to fame is she’s the lead dancer in the ‘Honky Tonk Badonkadonk’ country music video. I tell everybody this,” Baker said, “but she’s just been entertaining forever but I just feel like now the world is appreciating her, and of course we all have me to thank because it’s my doing, but we gotta love Reba.”

– Take a look back at the rivalry between Steve Austin and the McMahon Family.
– In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Daniel Bryan highlighted the work that Roman Reigns has put into making his characters stronger over the last couple of years.
“Roman is working at a whole other level,” Bryan says. “What’s interesting, and I’ve thought this since the beginning of the pandemic, is that you have a different opportunity without crowds. Some people think, ‘No crowds? That’s lame!’ But Roman has done better than anyone accentuating the positive of it. Some of the interviews he’s done are ones you couldn’t do in front of a live crowd without getting ‘What!’-ed to death. He’s been so incredible in this run.
“I’ve always thought he was special, and we’re seeing just how special he is right now. He possibly could be the best in the world right now, and this could be my last full-time run, so I’m going to make sure this match is a banger. I don’t want to live with the regret of having my last full-time run be me just doing what’s best for everyone else. Yes, I love doing what’s best for the industry, but at some point, I also need to do what’s best for me. I’m going full blast on Sunday.”
