United States Britt Baker is a professional wrestler and practicing dentist, known for her accomplishments as a former AEW Women's World Champion and her dual career. She has achieved significant recognition in the wrestling world while maintaining her dental profession.
Britt Baker is a professional wrestler signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and is a one-time champion with the company. She was the first woman wrestler signed to AEW.
Brittany Ann Baker was born on April 23, 1991, in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. She pursued an athletic childhood, participating in basketball and track and field. Her academic background is notable, with a degree in behavioral medicine and a minor in human development and family studies from Pennsylvania State University in 2013. In 2014, while beginning her professional wrestling training, she enrolled in the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine, graduating in May 2018. This dual path has defined her public persona, as she continues to work as a dentist in Winter Park, Florida, even with her active wrestling career.
Baker began her professional wrestling training in June 2014 at the International Wrestling Cartel (IWC) training academy, further training with notable figures like Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae. Her professional debut occurred at an IWC event in August 2015. Over the next few years, she made appearances for various promotions, including a notable stint as a jobber on WWE Raw in 2016. A significant turning point came in January 2019 when she officially signed with All Elite Wrestling (AEW) as the company’s first contracted female wrestler. She quickly established herself as a prominent figure in AEW’s women’s division, known for her competitive spirit and developing persona.
Her career in AEW saw several milestones, including winning the AEW Women’s World Championship in May 2021, a title she defended multiple times. She also won the inaugural Women’s Owen Hart Cup in 2022. Baker’s character and in-ring style often incorporate her dental profession, reinforcing her unique identity as “Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D.” She has engaged in prominent rivalries, such as with Thunder Rosa, which culminated in critically acclaimed matches. After a hiatus due to injuries in late 2023, she made a high-profile return in June 2024, continuing her career as a key talent in All Elite Wrestling.
