Britt Baker went on to reveal that Adam Cole was never a lock to join the Jacksonville-based promotion and that she was shocked when her boyfriend agreed to be a part of the reality-based series.

“So, when he came to AEW, they [Warner Media] asked me, ‘Do you think he’d be interested in being part of this project?’ I can’t lie — I first said I don’t think he’ll have any interest in this whatsoever. He’s such a private person. Lo and behold, he was all for it. He was really excited about it. Even with his head injury, he still wanted to show everybody what was going on behind the scenes.”

Baker was then asked if social media had played a role in her agreeing to have cameras follow her around, seeing as she was already sharing a part of her life with fans.

“Exactly. Because of social media, professional wrestling is an entirely different world than it was even 10 years ago,” Baker stressed. “The fans have smartened up. They’re getting smarter every day and every year. They know a lot of the ins and outs of professional wrestling, which is why I think a show like this works.”

Baker admitted that “All Access” would have “been an absolute taboo” a few decades ago as such a show would have spilled out the secrets of the business. She believes shows such as “Total Bellas” and “All Access” are a lot more accepted by fans in 2023.

“Fans really want to see how the show is run, what goes on behind the scenes, and who really are these people that we play as wrestlers,” Baker added.
