Britt Baker recalls trading verbal jabs with Mercedes Mone.
At AEW Dynamite in Cardiff on August 21, Britt Baker and Mercedes Mone traded verbal blows in a back-and-forth promo just days before their match at AEW All In. The promo was praised by fans, as many consider Baker and Mone to be two of the best talkers in All Elite Wrestling.
While speaking to Fightful for a new interview, Britt Baker recalled the promo and said that she was grateful to work with her on such a big platform.
"I really like the promo that Mercedes and I had in Cardiff. The crowd was insane, nuclear. We got to kick off the show. There was a lot of truth to it. When I say that Mercedes is one of my massive inspirations and a reason why I wrestle today, I mean that. I’m such a fan of her. It was surreal to me to get to work with her on such a huge platform, it’s still surreal to me. I’m super grateful that she also gave me that opportunity. ‘Hey, that’s Britt Baker, I’m going to work with her.’ If you would have told me that back in 2015 when I started wrestling, I would have been like, ‘Mercedes knows who I am? That’s crazy.’ It’s just evolution and for that alone, that’s one of my favorite promos. I got to say a lot of my truth to Mercedes’ face. ‘You walked so girls like me can run.’ You can feel that. You know when a wrestler means what they’re saying and you know when there is a passion that comes from that place, too. Sometimes, we’re so good at promos that we can bamboozle you all into thinking that some of the mean and nasty shit is real too. I love that just as much. I love all of my heel promos just as much, even more than the babyface ones."
Elsewhere in the interview, Baker talked about wanting the AEW women's division to continue growing. Learn more about those comments here.
