When did Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. turn heel in AEW?

Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. turned heel on January 22, 2020, during an episode of Dynamite on Chris Jericho's Rock 'N' Wrestling Rager at Sea. She chastised commentator Tony Schiavone following her victory over Priscilla Kelly and cemented her position on the roster as a heel.

During an interview with Renee Pacquette on her Oral Sessions podcast, revealed whose idea it was to turn her character heel:

"That was Kenny [Omega], that was all Kenny’s idea to turn me heel. I was scared but, of course, I was going to do it. I’m not going to say no, but I was nervous. I never had been a heel before. I didn’t know anything about heat. That’s the best thing that ever happened to me, honestly." (h/t Inside The Ropes)

The Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry also revealed that Chris Jericho helped her with her heel promo work:

"Who better to work with than Chris Jericho of all people? It’s like I literally ripped off some of his character from WCW when he was like the role model and the conspiracy victim. So, he helps me so much."

Her work has been well received by wrestling fans and critics globally, with many suggesting she is the most improved wrestler of the last 12 months.
