Cody Rhodes assisted Britt Baker in learning how to be a heel after her turn, according to Britt Baker. Baker began her career as a babyface in All Elite Wrestling, but after turning heel at the start of 2020, her career truly took off. Cody Rhodes, along with Tony Khan and others, taught her grasp how to be a heel, according to former AEW Women’s World Champion Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful.
“When I first turned heel he really took me under his wing and helped me map out how to tell a promo or how to do a promo or how to come up with bullet points. I went to a lot of people for help. Tony Khan helped me so much. Chris Jericho, I used to call him and just on delivery alone—Chris Jericho is a big guy on ‘it’s not what you say, it’s how you say it.’ I’d get help from there.”
“But when it came to Cody, coming up with the actual structure of what I was gonna say, Cody was there. He would help me. He would write a whole list of bullet points and I would get to twist it and turn it to how I would want to say it. But I can’t thank him enough. He was sitting in Gorilla every time I cut a promo or a match, and would tell me how to fix something, what was good, what wasn’t. He was always on. You can fault Cody for many things, you can’t say he wasn’t honest and that he’s not passionate about professional wrestling. ‘Cause he is.” Baker stated.
Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. recounted the backstage response to Cody Rhodes’ departure from AEW, as previously revealed. Baker will compete in an Owen Hart Foundation Women’s Tournament Qualifier versus Danielle Kamea on tonight’s episode of AEW Dynamite from her hometown of Pittsburgh.
Britt Baker On The Backstage Reaction To Cody Rhodes Leaving AEW
Cody Rhodes has been one of the faces of All Elite Wrestling for the past several years, but he surprised the world when he announced his departure from the business a few months ago and eventually joined WWE. Many people in the wrestling industry were startled to see Cody depart the business, and former AEW Women’s Champion Britt Baker said in a recent interview with Fightful that no one believed it at first.
“From the day he wasn’t at Dynamite anymore, up until the announcement officially got released, obviously, people were saying this and that backstage. Everyone was talking about it, but nobody believed it ‘cause it just seemed so crazy. Even me. I’m like, ‘Maybe, but no. There’s no way.’ With that being said, Cody, I am so thankful and grateful that I got to work with him when I did. Because when I turned heel, he took me under his wing. I can kind of be more open about this now ‘cause we’re not in the action figure war anymore… Now we’re obviously not in the same company. The Britt vs. Cody mini-feud, issue, whatever, that’s all done.”
