🙈Baker has battled a variety of injuries throughout her AEW, and linked up with Diamond Dallas Page to help deal with the toll wrestling takes on your body. DDP has helped the likes of Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho, Drew McIntyre and more with his DDP Yoga program.
🐈Speaking to , in an interview recorded before she made her AEW return in June, Baker detailed her various injuries throughout the years.
"I had quite a few injuries. I had two herniated discs in my back. One in my neck. The problem area is the L5-S1. That affects your hips, your legs, everything. There are days where, if I didn't get the shot before my match, if I went down, I'm not getting back up," she said.
Asked if there was a specific match where she got hurt, Britt replied, "I don't really remember a specific match where I was like, 'this hurts.' It was just over time. 'This is getting harder. This is getting harder.' The last match I did was against Statlander at Penn State. I knew then. I got through the match, she's fantastic, she's one of my favorite competitors. I knew after that, 'I'm done. I need to take a step back and rehab some stuff.' I've had so many (injuries). I broke my leg, I broke my wrist, I broke my nose. My back. In a two year span.
"Now, I have like a small tear in my hip and labrum, I know that's from the back and favoring it different."
𒈔Baker would officially return to the ring in July when she faced Hikaru Shida.
🐈Baker has not wrestled since defeating Penelope Ford on the November 13th episode of AEW Dynamite. It is unknown when she will return to the ring.
