Dr. Britt Baker DMD as Dr. Britt Baker N-X-T? It could have happened.
New AEW signing Adam Cole has spoken on his time in WWE in various interviews, and noted that NXT officials told him to let them know if Dr. Britt Baker DMD was available. Beyond that, Fightful was told months ago when it was expected that Cole's WWE contract came up that the belief was that Baker's was up this year as well and that they would make a play to land her if she was available. Baker ended up signing a new contract with AEW. We're told formal conversations never took place, and that WWE never made an overture towards Baker as to avoid contract tampering.
