10 Wrestlers You Didn't Know Were In NXT AND AEW

7. Britt Baker

Well OK, not really, but it is too amusing to omit - particular with AEW themselves making light of the cameo shortly afterwards.

At 2019's NXT TakeOver: WarGames, the camera cut to a panicked looking woman in the crowd during the ultraviolent eponymous main event. She was merely identified as Adam Cole's 'girlfriend' - all wrestling fans, of course, knew her by name: AEW's Britt Baker.

WWE simultaneously identifying and failing to identify Baker seemed a clear, rather sly attempt to undermine the rival star - although Triple H insisted after the show it was a complete accident (an 'admission' which in itself, suggested AEW's DDS was a nobody).

AEW weren't having any of it - and on the very next edition of Dynamite, cut to a distraught Baker after Nyla Rose slammed ref Rick Knox through a table. Excalibur, tongue planted in cheek, simply described her as 'Adam Cole's girlfriend'. Zing!
