There are quite a few promotions in the world of professional wrestling, and over the last few months AEW has been going head to head with NXT on Wednesday nights.
Both sides have downplayed the idea of a war between the two promotions, and there are plenty of people in the business who have friends of acquaintances in both promotions.
It’s no big secret that AEW star Britt Baker is dating NXT Champion Adam Cole, and after cole took a big bump at the NXT TakeOver: WarGames pay-per-view Britt Baker’s reaction was shown on screen.
Baker opened up about appearing on WWE programming during an episode of Talk Is Jericho, and she said that both Triple H and Stephanie McMahon were apologetic when it happened.
“So I’m in my seat. Everything’s good, and for his match, they move me. They said, ‘hey, you’ll be fine here because you’re behind the commentary table. Because the match is in the cage, the camera is not gonna come out here at all.’ To me, I was like OK that makes sense, and it wasn’t until the very end, he took this disgusting bump at the top of the cage. I don’t even know where the camera was because I was looking in the ring. I didn’t even know until I got backstage in gorilla.
I went to check in on Adam, and Triple H came up right away saying, ‘sorry, we didn’t mean for that to happen.’ I’m kind of like wait, what? He’s like, ‘yeah, we got you on camera with your reaction to the bump. I’m so sorry. They didn’t know.’ The head production didn’t know who you were. Do I believe that? I don’t know, but he was super apologetic to me, super nice. Him and Stephanie both said we’re so sorry about that. I hope you don’t get in trouble, which Tony didn’t care at all because after that night, I was the top Google search of that show, the entire NXT show was Britt Baker because of that one little blip they showed on TV.”
Britt Baker also noted that when it comes to attending NXT shows she always asks permission from Tony Khan or The Young Bucks, and that they’ve always been supportive of her going to the events to support Adam Cole.
