Britt Baker Says Pushback She Received For Pursuing Two Careers Simultaneously Kept Her Stubborn

Did you know that Britt Baker is a wrestler and a dentist?

The former AEW Women’s Champion recently spoke with WhatCulture Wrestling, where she discussed her decision to puruse two very different careers simultaneously. According to Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D., she received lots of pushback from those in the wrestling and dentistry worlds, but all it did was make her more stubborn and intent on achieving both goals.

“I got it from both sides, actually. In the professional wrestling world, it was weird that I was a dental student, that I wasn’t professional wrestling only, and eating, sleeping, breathing professional wrestling. But also in dental school, I was the weirdo. I was the outcast because I wasn’t only doing dentistry and studying and sleeping in the library. I really got it from both sides, but it just kept me stubborn and headstrong because I really wanted to do both things. I decided very early on that I was going to do it no matter who told me what, I was going to prove you wrong. That’s what I did,” she said.

Elsewhere during the conversation, Baker commented on the criticism of women’s hardcore matches. Click here to read more.
