10 Most Shocking 2020 Wrestler Transformations

3. Dr. Britt Baker

For the first few months of AEW's existence, Dr. Britt Baker was an all-smiling, hand-slapping babyface. We could all see that Britt was being groomed for big things in the future, but at that point she was more seen as the respectful babyface who would go as far as congratulating then-AEW Women's Champion Riho after losing to her.

2020 started off hot for the Good Doctor, though, and that was all down to the sensible option for her to embrace the dark side.

How did AEW facilitate this heel turn? Why, they had Baker tear into Tony Schiavone on the Jericho Cruise this past January. And from there, Britt took the ball and completely ran with it, becoming more and more of an attraction with every passing week - even when she was on the shelf with an injury.
