AEW wrestler Dr. Britt Baker was involved in controversy this week over a newly released T-shirt featuring her bruised face.
On the April 21 episode of Dynamite, Baker came to the defense of Adam Cole (her real-life boyfriend) as he was being beaten down by Chris Jericho and Daniel Garcia. After confronting Jericho, Baker was attacked by The Outcasts (Saraya, Toni Storm and Ruby Soho). The attack left Baker with a black eye, which she showed off in an Instagram post two days later. AEW subsequently began selling a shirt featuring the photo Baker had posted, which proved to be controversial.
After a fan wrote in a tweet to Baker that the shirt “supports domestic violence,” Baker responded with a tweet dismissing the criticism. In a recent interview with Sports Illustrated’s Robin Lundberg, Baker expanded on her thoughts.
