Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D.
The name says it all.
In addition to being one of the top women’s wrestlers on the planet, the Pittsburgh native is also a damn fine dentist!
During a recent What Culture interview, the former AEW women’s champion explained how she has received push-back in the wrestling world for being a dentist, as well as in the dentist world for being a wrestler.
“I got it from both sides, actually,” she said. “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.”
Baker continued, “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.”
