Since the launch of AEW, Dr. Britt Baker has become one of the promotions’ breakout stars. However, she hasn’t wrestled since last September, with it known she’s been dealing with injuries and supporting Adam Cole post-surgery. Still proving her popularity hasn’t waned, Bryan Alvarez has reported on X that her brand new Target exclusive action figure sold out “in seconds.”
33-year-old Baker was AEW’s first female signing, and while always treated as a leading performer in the women’s division, her career skyrocketed following her Unsanctioned Lights Out match against Thunder Rosa in March 2021. She wasn’t victorious on the night; however, the match set her apart, similar to how Steve Austin’s defeat to Bret Hart at WrestleMania 13 made him a star. Subsequently, fans would get behind her character despite the fact she was a heel, although it seems likely that when she does eventually return to television, she will be presented as a big babyface.
