10 Wrestlers Who Went To Extreme Lengths To Join AEW

10. Britt Baker Wants To Juggle Dentistry With Being All Elite

Trying to get yourself through dental school and start up your own practise isn't what you'd class as the simplest of endeavours for any budding dentist. Now factor in the often impossible dream of also wanting to set the professional wrestling business on fire and you have the frankly staggering career choices of a certain All Elite D.M.D.

But there was a time when said ambitions to be both The Doctor and The Wrestler were something of stumbling block for Britt Baker during her attempts to get signed with WWE a few years back, with the company being reluctant to sign her in the midst of her dental training and studies.

Far from letting this set-back deter Baker from a life in the wrasslin' business, however, the eventual AEW star eventually found a dental office that would allow her to continue performing as and when she desired.

Sure enough, this insistence on trying to make both careers work set the stage for Tony Khan and his team to bring their soon-to-be leading light of the women's division aboard the AEW machine upon setting up the promotion in 2019, with Baker going on record to note on Talk is Jericho:

"...the biggest question I got to tally off was that I could still be a dentist during the week. And that was one of my first conversations with Tony, was about how thankful I am that I get to do both of my passions."
