Britt Baker Comments On Recent “Book The Women’s Division Better” Sign On AEW Dynamite

Britt Baker comments on a recent sign that was spotted in an AEW crowd.

The good doctor competed on last week’s edition of AEW Dynamite, defeating Taya Valkyrie in singles competition on the show. The match was criticised by many fans, and a sign was spotted on camera following the bout that simply stated that AEW needed to book their women’s division better.

Speaking with Scott Fishman for TV Insider, Baker was asked about the “Book the Women’s Division Better” sign that was shown on AEW Dynamite.

“I see both sides to that because I completely agree. The absolute best matches that come out of professional wrestling come out of storylines you are so invested in. There are weeks and months that tell this beautiful story. It’s something we haven’t been able to invest as much time in the women’s division lately. Again, there are many factors. Injuries, this and that. I definitely want to get to the point where we can get some solid storytelling with the women. At the same time the fans who hold signs that say to book the women’s division better, that’s great. Then when I go on Twitter it doesn’t echo that. I don’t see the same support. It’s I hate these two wrestlers. This match was too long. This match was too short. If all you see about women’s wrestling is all negative online, it doesn’t add up to what they are preaching. If you want the women to be booked better, support the women,”

Baker would continue, noting that fans are not required to like every show or every wrestler, but respect should be given all the same and fans do not need to express that hate so vocally.

“You don’t have to like every wrestler and every match. You also don’t have to get on Twitter and preach from the mountaintops how much you hated things. Some stuff, keep to yourself. I can’t tell you how many times I go to a restaurant and I don’t like how my steak is cooked. I don’t need to talk to the chef and take 30 pictures of the steak to tell them I don’t like how this steak is cooked. There is too much invested in the negativity that it does so much harm. I hope people realize one day how much harm it does to not only the individuals and mental health, but to the industry as a whole,”
