Britt Baker truly found her own after turning heel on AEW Dynamite. However, she believes her heel turn wouldn’t have worked if it hadn’t been for her best friend Tony Schiavone.

Britt Baker targeted Schiavone for being a former Starbucks barista during one of her best promos. The AEW Women’s Champion spoke highly of the AEW commentator during an interview on Talk is Jericho.

"Tony, I can not say enough good things. He is the best. He accidentally butt-dialed me when he was shopping in the liquor aisle last week so we FaceTimed for a second. There's something about him where he's so calming, but he also feeds off the verbal abuse so well. He helps my character so much because he plays along better than anybody in the entire locker room could because of who he is and what he does and how he interacts. He's such a good sport about everything and will have ideas to make things better. He's really like my tag partner. I'm so thankful to him," said Baker on Talk Is Jericho. [h/t Fightful]

It’s great to see that the AEW star is close to an experienced individual in the company. This partnership could really help Britt Baker get ahead in her career.
