In a recent interview with the Sunday Night’s Main Event podcast, All Elite Wrestling superstar Britt Baker discussed several topics, including why her babyface run in the company did not work, who approached her to turn heel and more.

Highlights of the interview are below:

On why her run as a babyface did not work: “I think because I’m probably not a babyface deep down. I think there was just a lot of demons at once and that’s being a dentist and a professional wrestler is super-inspiring and it’s super-successful, I have two plan A careers, but not everybody has that, so not everybody wants to hear that every second of the day. I blame JR, with full-blown respect to JR, he really screwed me, because he said on every single frickin’ episode of Dynamite that I was a dentist a hundred times, to the point that it wasn’t cool any more.”

On who approached her to turn heel: “That was Kenny Omega, Kenny had the idea of turning me heel and I remember I was in the ring one day just training and he came up and talked to me about it, he said what do you think about being a heel and we don’t really have any heels and maybe this would work. I just remember saying, I’m down to do anything and I will always try anything, but at that point in my wrestling career I had never been a heel once in my life, so just like my whole experience with AEW, I felt like I was just kind of thrown into the fire, let’s go, let’s see if this works and it did.”
