Biography
Britt Baker didn't just enter All Elite Wrestling; she built a cornerstone. Signed as AEW's first female wrestler, she shouldered the immense pressure of defining the company's women's division. Initially a bubbly fan favorite, her career ignited when she embraced a vicious, self-obsessed persona—'The Role Model'—that was amplified by her real-world credentials as a licensed dentist. This unique blend of legitimate accomplishment and on-screen villainy made her must-see television. Her 2021 match against Thunder Rosa in a brutal Unsanctioned Lights Out fight is widely credited as a turning point, proving women could main-event and deliver hard-hitting, story-driven epics in AEW. As champion, Baker became the divisive, talkative hub around which the entire division revolved.
Millennials
1981–1996
The first digital natives. Grew up with the internet, came of age during 9/11 and the 2008 crash. Highly educated, deeply indebted, slower to marry and buy houses. Redefined work, identity, and what it means to be an adult.
Britt was born in 1991, placing them squarely in the Millennials. The events that shaped this generation — the internet revolution, 9/11, and the 2008 financial crisis — shaped the world they entered and the choices available to them.
