Britt Baker has come a long way in her wrestling career. In September 2018, WWE NXT fed Baker to Shayna Baszler in a quick squash victory for the latter.

However, that wasn’t the only major match Baker competed in WWE. Two years before her loss to Baszler, Baker appeared as an enhancement talent on WWE RAW. She competed against Nia Jax and took some big blows from The Irresistible Force before taking the pin.

Britt Baker spoke about the fateful night during an interview with Figthful.com.

"That night, the referee John Cone pulled me aside and said 'I think you're going to be wrestling Nia Jax tonight.' I thought it was a joke and there's a hidden camera. I was like 'okay.' At that point there had been no enhancement matches for the women, it just wasn't a thing. He was like 'go put on your gear, we're going to have you bump around a little bit.' Is this real? Sure enough, (that was) Nia's first night on RAW, they're going to debut her. This is the first Raw after the brand split of RAW and Smackdown. It's her first match on RAW after coming up from NXT. You can only imagine how nervous I was, trying to get in the ring with Nia Jax on her RAW debut. There was so much pressure," said Baker.

While her first match in WWE came under a lot of pressure, Britt Baker has managed to become a natural in AEW. Despite being in the wrestling world for a short time, she has been able to make a name for herself.
