#3 AEW Women's Champion Britt Baker was once used as enhancement talent on WWE Raw

AEW Women's Champion Britt Baker might currently be the undisputed face of the company's female division, but once upon a time, she was used as an enhancement talent. Eagled-eyed fans might recall her receiving a few matches in NXT, but Baker also got a high-profile opportunity on Raw as well.

It was an anti-climatic appearance, though, as Baker was essentially squashed by Nia Jax. She was only used to put Jax over as a dominant heel and jobbed fodder for the heavyweight wrestler. She's a key piece of the AEW women's division now, thankfully. Speaking on her brief flirtation with WWE, Baker had this to say:

“WWE definitely let me know that they had interest in me, but it wasn't a mutual thing."

Baker may have felt let down by her WWE experience, but the AEW Women's Champions certainly bounced back and went on to have a successful wrestling career regardless.
