#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.

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.
