Britt Baker Signs With All Elite Wrestling
And so the roster building begins...
Jan 3, 2019
Midnight on New Year's Eve saw the formation of All Elite Wrestling made official by Cody Rhodes, The Young Bucks and "Hangman" Adam Page of The Elite. This brought four months of build to an end and now the foursome look to be assembling a roster full of the top stars to join them.
One of the first to sign on the bottom line is Britt Baker. The 27-year-old has appeared for promotions such as Stardom, Shimmer, and ROH over the past year, and also appeared on NXT television in a match against Shayna Baszler in October - a match she lost due to stoppage after the NXT Women's Champion 'injured' her arm.
Baker also appeared at All In as part of the wonderful four-way women's match alongside ROH's Madison Rayne, Chelsea Green (who is also signed to NXT now), and the eventual winner of the bout, Tessa Blanchard.
Details about AEW are being revealed every day at the moment. We know that Cody Rhodes and The Bucks will have executive vice president roles under Tony Khan, while the likes of Brandi Rhodes and Dana Massie (Mrs. Matt) will also be involved behind the scenes.
