Britt Baker addresses an “out of context” quote from her about WWE’s developmental system

In the fall of 2021, AEW star Britt Baker did an interview with WashingtonPost.com and said the following about WWE’s developmental system…

““I don’t think putting a bunch of models and athletes off the street in a warehouse and teaching them all to do the same thing the same way at the same time is going to create a successful roster. People learn differently and they have different strengths and weaknesses, and sometimes you have to find out what those are on your own.”

The quote resurfaced during WWE NXT’s Great American Bash PLE and Britt addressed it…

“This quote is out of context and incomplete. It’s from 2021 when WWE stated they would stop signing indie wrestlers and focus on pro-athletes. I think most pro wrestlers would tell you how valuable the independent wrestling circuit was to their development, and multiple girls you listed all came from the indies. It wasn’t a dig at the PC; it was in support of independent wrestling.”
