10 Best Nicknames In Modern Wrestling

5. D.M.D. (Britt Baker)

If you'd said three years ago that a medical degree would become one of the most popular nicknames and catchphrases in wrestling, you'd have been looked at very strangely. Mostly because that's a weird thing to say out of nowhere, but also because the D.M.D. herself was anything but a world-beater when she debuted.

We've discussed Baker's awful first year in AEW on this site before, but to recap: It sucked. Arguably the worst babyface debut since the arrival of the floofy-haired, ever-smiling Rocky Maivia, babyface Britt was a misfire on all fronts.

Fortunately, just as Rocky Maivia joined the dark side to become the wise-cracking, catchphrase-making people's champion The Rock, Britt Baker embraced her inner heel and catapaulted herself to superstardom.

Wrestling's favourite dentist has many nicknames - The Role Model, Hardcore Legend, The Baddest Bitch on the Block - but D.M.D. is the best of the bunch. Baker's insistence on it fits her holier than thou persona perfectly, it's the perfect sign off to her promos, and like "NXT" and "E-C-Dub" before it, it's great fun to chant during matches.
