Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. Taking A Step Back From Dentistry
Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. is taking a step back from being a dentist to focus more on All Elite Wrestling.
During a recent appearance on the “Jon Chuckery Show,” the DMD admitted that it’s been difficult to manage her work in both AEW and dentistry. She said,
“With the ever changing and every growing schedule with AEW, it was getting really hard to manage because I don’t want to be calling off last minute at the dental office all the time if Tony [Tony Khan] needs me for something for a TV taping or to go do media or an event. I hold myself accountable to be available for those types of events because I’m one of the faces of AEW and I want to be available for everything like that. Unfortunately, that means…I don’t want to say closing the door, but I’m definitely taking a step back from dentistry.”
Baker added that it’s unfair for her to have to cancel on her patients due to her AEW commitments. She said,
“It’s not fair to be canceling on patients all the time if something else popped up and it’s not fair to the staff. My staff is absolutely fabulous at the dental office, I love them to death. I’m still there a few times a month to check in on my old patients to make sure everyone is okay. I don’t really accept any new patients just because it was getting really tricky to navigate the waters of fans coming into the dental office and not really knowing who is there to be a patient and who is there to get an autograph and picture. It’s fun, but at the same time, it gets frustrating for my staff when they are there to see patients and keep a successful practice going.”

AEW’s Jeff Jarrett Discusses His Resurgence In Pro Wrestling
AEW star Jeff Jarrett has talked about his career revival and how he feels heading into AEW’s huge All In pay-per-view later this month.
The WWE Hall of Famer, during a recent interview with “Cultaholic Wrestling,” said that the last year for him in pro wrestling has been surreal.
“Absolutely,” said Jarrett when asked if he was surprised by his career resurgence. “At this stage of my career — and I’ve had some of the highest of highs and some of the lowest of lows — but you kind of look at the last year, and a little prior to that, from Game Changer Wrestling to the NWA, to WWE SummerSlam in my hometown at the stadium, and then you fast forward, here talking about Wembley 100, AEW All In, it is surreal. I do not … I am stopping and smelling the roses. I don’t take anything for granted.”
Jarrett admitted that he would’ve been grateful if AEW had sold 40,000 tickets for the All In show at Wembley Stadium, but is elated by the huge ticket sales, which has crossed 80,000.
The veteran star has had an interesting last 12 months in the pro wrestling business. The 56-year-old, who continues to wrestle over 35 years after making his pro wrestling debut, was a special guest referee in The Usos’ match against the Street Profits at last year’s SummerSlam. The event was held at the Nissan Stadium in Jarrett’s hometown of Nashville, Tennessee. Jarrett was released once again by WWE in August 2022, following which he wrestled in WrestleCade, GCW, and was also in Ric Flair’s final match, where he teamed up with Jay Lethal to face Flair and Andrade.
The Hall of Famer then signed with AEW in November last year, forming a faction that included Lethal, Sonjay Dutt, and Satnam Singh. At the time of writing, he hasn’t been added to the All In card, but a wrestler with the star power of Jarrett could very well be on the card for such a historic show.

AEW Star Jeff Jarrett Calls Taylor Swift A Family Friend Who’d Play Piano At His Home
There’s been quite a bit of overlap between the music and pro wrestling industries over the years, but fans of pro wrestling were pleasantly surprised to hear about Jeff Jarrett’s friendship with musician Taylor Swift recently.
The veteran star has now talked about how his family and Swift became friends during his recent appearance on “TalkSport.”
“She’s from Hendersonville – a friend of the family,” said “Double J.” “There was a recent tweet that resurfaced and people were like, ‘Is that photoshopped,’ and I’m like, ‘Who’s going to go out of their way to photoshop Taylor in my house playing the piano?'”
Jarrett said Swift was his neighbor and that the celebrated musician used to babysit his daughters. He also revealed that his daughters even appeared in the music video of Swift’s song, “Mine.” The song, which was released in 2010, featured Jarrett’s three daughters as well as one of Kurt Angle’s daughters.
A recent social media post that did the rounds showed Swift playing the piano surrounded by the AEW star’s daughters. Jarrett has previously discussed his friendship with Swift, with the musician playing her entire first album to his family, which brought Jarrett’s late wife, Jill, to tears. Jill, who was then battling cancer, sadly passed away in 2007.
“Taylor played her first album to us. Jill cried her a*s out, and the girls knew every word to every song,” recalled Jarrett. “It was from god. For Taylor to step in here, a friend of a friend who I’d never met, and to this day Taylor keeps in touch with my girls.”
Swift is one of the biggest musicians of her generation, but Jarrett — who has a musician gimmick — uses his guitar in other ways, to bash his opponents in the head on AEW television, over 30 years after debuting the character in pro wrestling.
