Who Pitched The Idea For Britt Baker To Turn Heel

During an appearance on the Sunday Night’s Main Event podcast, Britt Baker talked about her heel turn:

“It was Kenny Omega, Kenny ‘The Cleaner. He had the idea of turning me heel. I remember I was in the ring one day just training, he came up and talked to me about it. He’s like ‘what do you think about being a heel? We don’t really have any heels and, you know, maybe this would work.’”

“And 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, [not even] once in my life. So, just like my whole experience of AEW? I was just kind of getting thrown into the fire, let’s go, let’s see if it works. And it did.”
