"I call him at least a few times a week" - Britt Baker details her real-life relationship with WCW veteran (Exclusive)

Britt Baker has detailed her real-life relationship with AEW commentator and former WCW personality Tony Schiavone.

In a recent interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling, the former AEW Women's Champion explained how sharing the screen with Schiavone has helped her in her career.

She added that the two generally talk to each other over the phone a few times a week.

"It wasn't really a storyline. We started doing the promos, especially when I first turned heel and was doing promos. Having Tony Schiavone out there with you, you like to think nothing can go wrong as long as he's there because he can wrangle it back in if something goes off the walls, now I have to wrangle him, honestly," said Baker.

She further detailed her bond with the veteran announcer:

Him and I have such a good friendship, such an organic relationship. We love to rib each other, we get along so well and he's truly one of my best friends. I call him at least a few times a week on the phone," added Baker. [5:52-6:33]
