Business is booming for D.M.D.

During a recent appearance at Planet Comicon, AEW Women's Champion Britt Baker revealed that more and more people are making dental appointments with her as a result of her status as one of the hottest stars of Tony Khan's All Elite Wrestling.

Said appearance took place just over a week ago, with Baker joined by Leva Bates for a panel discussion about AEW and beyond. With this panel chat now up and online, Fightful picked up on the Role Model's comments.

"The number's definitely rising rapidly. I'm getting a lot more fans. Surprisingly, a lot of people are driving from Jacksonville to Orlando because they've been in a crowd for our Jacksonville shows. It's cool, though, because they're not there to just chat or take a picture or get an autograph. They're there for an appointment and to get a cleaning. It's kinda of cool because I really am a role model. We're improving oral health because I'm a wrestler and a dentist."

On being able to notice when a wrestling fan enters her office, D.M.D. added:

"A lot of times they're really nervous. I'm really good at picking up on when they're a fan or when they're not, and I get really excited when it's a wrestling fan because they're there for two reasons and they're excited. I'm a wrestling fan too, so I put myself in their position. But I think so, I like to think they respect me a little more than the average dentist, because I'm the best in the game right now, so they have to."

Up next for Britt Baker, she'll be defending the AEW Women's Championship against Kris Statlander at All Out on this coming Sunday.
