AEW Women's Champion, Dr. Britt Baker was recently in conversation with Milwaukee Record. During the interview, Baker was asked about her headlining the first AEW Rampage show and also spoke briefly on being the highest rated segment of the show in the key demo.
Speaking about it, Britt Baker said that it definitely wasn't the first time she had the highest-rated segment. The AEW Women's Champion then admitted backstage at AEW, the Superstars usually poke fun at each other for having the highest ratings. However, at the end of the day, it doesn't matter which Superstar gets the highest rating and all that matters is AEW doing good overall as a show.
"Well, that’s definitely not the first time where I’ve had the highest-rated segment. I’ve been doing very well recently, ever since I became champion. We all kind of poke fun at each other, “I had the highest this, I had the highest that,” but it’s all in good fun because at the end of the day we want the whole show to do well. So it doesn’t matter who has the highest rating this week or next week. As long as we’re all doing well, then AEW is doing well," said Baker.
