AEW Women's Champion Britt Baker has enjoyed a meteoric rise to the top of the AEW women's division.

In an interview, Britt Baker freely admitted that she knew nothing of how to perform on live television when she joined AEW. She learned on the job and drew 1.133 million viewers this week.That's yet another AEW success story. pic.twitter.com/t76ekbsaGm

However, when she joined AEW, Baker was quite green and had to learn the business on the fly. Speaking to the Daily Star, the Women's Champion called AEW Dynamite her Performance Center, drawing parallels to the one owned by WWE. She said a lot of what she did initially was "trial and error."

"I love the NXT women’s division and am friends with so many of those girls,” Baker said. “But they have a Performance Center. My Performance Center was AEW Dynamite, live on Wednesday nights. I was learning as we go… you train in the ring, you cut promos and practice as much as you can, but I don’t have a wrestling ring in my back yard, a television set-up or a hard cam to pan to. So, a lot of what you see on tv was just trial and error because, again, we don’t have that Performance Center." (H/T: Fightful)

Baker continued, saying the fans took a liking to her because they could see everything was new to her and she persevered to grow as a performer. The Champ believes this ultimately led her to become the face of the AEW women's division.
