Dentist-turned-AEW wrestler Britt Baker has made the decision to step back from her dentistry career in order to fully focus on her blossoming wrestling career with All Elite Wrestling (AEW). The talented wrestler announced her decision on social media, revealing that she had taken a small step back from dentistry over the past few months to give her undivided attention to AEW.
Speaking about her decision during an interview on the Jon Chuckery Show, Baker explained the challenges she faced in managing her dental practice alongside her demanding schedule with AEW. She expressed her dedication to being available for AEW events, tapings, and media engagements, which made it difficult to commit to her dental appointments without the risk of last-minute cancellations. Baker emphasized her accountability as one of the faces of AEW, stating that she wants to be available for everything the promotion requires of her.
Understanding the impact her decision might have on her dental practice, Baker expressed her gratitude towards her staff, whom she described as fabulous. Despite taking a step back, Baker still makes a few visits every month to check in on her old patients, ensuring their well-being. However, she is no longer accepting new patients due to the challenges of managing fans who arrive at her dental office seeking autographs and photos instead of dental care. This situation has become frustrating for both Baker and her staff, who strive to maintain a successful practice.
Baker’s wrestling career continues to thrive, with her next challenge taking place on the August 16 episode of AEW Dynamite, where she will face off against The Bunny. The winner of this match will secure their spot in the AEW Women’s Title four-way match at AEW All In.
Baker’s decision to step back from dentistry signifies her commitment to her passion for wrestling in the AEW. While she acknowledges the challenges of balancing two careers, she has decided to prioritize her role as an AEW wrestler and ensure she can fully commit to the demands of her wrestling schedule. As she continues to make waves in the wrestling world, fans eagerly anticipate Baker’s upcoming matches and her potential ascent to the summit of the AEW Women’s division.
