Britt Baker is making the headlines due to her real-life feud against another AEW roster star. But, to top it all off, she is now on the radar of the Internet Wrestling Community as well. During her appearance on AEW Dynamite on 08/14, she interrupted a match, but the fans didn’t seem to like the segment.
Mercedes Mone was defending her title against Hikaru Shida. After retaining the AEW TBS Title, Mone and her friend were being brutal as ever. This is when Baker saved the day by interrupting. However, fans believe that the execution could have been better.
She made it right in the nick of time when Shida was getting beaten up and Mone stood watch in the middle of the ring. Baker tried sneaking up behind her, but Mone spotted her and turned around. She turned around once more, but it was too late by that time. The Doctor’s blows forced the reigning TBS Champion to retreat with her friend.

The former WWE star even left the championship belt. This led to the announcement that Mone will now have to defend this belt against Baker at AEW All In 2024 at Wembley Stadium, London this weekend. Despite the announcement, fans didn’t seem to be happy with the promo because of Baker.
THE DOCTOR BRITT BAKER IS IN!

The Doctor is already in the highlights due to her real-life feud with MJF. The two stars had a backstage altercation which, according to reports, even turned physical with the two pushing each other. Now, after the negative light that she received following the suspension, fans have called her out for being unprofessional in the segment as well.
Fans also wish to suspend Britt Baker from AEW TV
What’s your perspective on:
Did Britt Baker cross the line, or is this just part of the wrestling drama we love?
Have an interesting take?
According to this fan, her entrance was extended in a way that other wrestlers had no clue for how long it would go on. This made her co-workers look bad at their job. Moreover, she was also accused of extending her camera time and not releasing her spot when it was time to. None of this looks good on her part.
Britt's narcissism and unprofessionalism were on full display. She dragged out her entrance which made Kamille & the extra look bad, hogged camera time with the glove bit making Mercedes look bad, and then refused to release the Lockjaw when Kamille was trying to help Mercedes. pic.twitter.com/gp2VmmC0cI

Another viewer commented in appreciation of this observation. As per them, if this was intended exactly like this, then the blame is not on Britt Baker. Instead, the writers should be held accountable for the script and how they made other wrestlers look unprofessional.
Wow this is a really good analysis. If it was written that way then that’s terrible. But it’s more than likely what you’re saying happened.

One more internet user was confused watching this segment. They bring about the same point as we had discussed earlier. Mone first looked at Baker and then turned away, only to look at her again to attack. Not only was it weird to spot but also confused the audience.
I cant lie I was confused watching this lol….like she didn't sneak her, put on a globe with her watching, made Kamille look weak on the save, it was alot going on here lol

Somebody analyzed the promo again and wrote how the writers must have meant to show all three wrestlers, Mone, Kamille, and Baker as equals. However, this fan believes that it is the challenger’s fault that the promo wasn’t portrayed well in the arena.
This was an embarrassing display, the segment was designed to make all 3 appear as equals
But Britt decided to show up Mercedes for some reason, which ruined the pace of the Shida match

After this, she is even being accused of a conspiracy that she did all of this on purpose. One of the members of the internet wrestling community thinks that Doctor Britt Baker meant to do what she did in the arena on AEW Dynamite so that she can come out superior to her colleagues.
Gotta get yourself over at every opportunity and bury the person you’re working with at every opportunity brother
