There was an interesting moment on screen during NXT TakeOver 25 as one of AEW’s top women stars was on camera with Stephanie McMahon.

McMahon was shown on camera during the show, prior to the main event, waving for the crowd (to a mixed reception). As she was shown, astute wrestling fans with a quick eye noticed that just to the left of her (or to Stephanie’s right), seated, was AEW’s own Britt Baker.

Baker, who is a real life dentist, factors in to be one of the top pushed female stars on the AEW roster. During last weekend’s Double or Nothing PPV event, she defeated Awesome Kong, Nyla Rose, and Kylie Rae in a fatal four-way event.

Baker was one of the first talents who was publicly announced as an AEW signing, with that announcement coming on January 2nd, just one day after the promotion was officially announced during an episode of Being The Elite.
