1. NXT Wrestler Was Originally Stopped From Attending AEW Events By WWE
Britt Baker revealed on AEW Unrestricted that her boyfriend and current NXT Champion, Adam Cole, wasn’t allowed to attend AEW events by WWE. He later got permission to go to them though:
“We’re very lucky that Tony [Khan] has no problem with me going to watch his live shows. As we all know, I was in the crowd at TakeOver when he won the title for the first time. This is also annoying, but he was originally told that he can’t come to our shows.
For All In, he had a plane ticket booked and they told him, ‘You can’t go.’ He still came to be supportive and he watched it on his phone in the hotel room and came to the afterparty. Recently, they changed their tune and he was able to come to our New Year’s show. It’s great for him too because this is his family. The Young Bucks and Adam Cole go way back. They’ve been together long before Adam Cole and Britt Baker were together.”
Tony Schiavone did reference Cole and Baker’s relationship once on AEW programming:
“Excalibur told me that Adam is always concerned about his weight and thinks he looks fat. We were doing commentary about you and Excalibur says, ‘I think Dr. Baker likes you.’ And I said, ‘Why not? I understand she has a thing for fat guys.’ That was directed right at him. I didn’t know if he picked that up or not. I love doing stuff like that.”
Baker replied:
“He did (catch the line). He loves it. It’s an ongoing joke they have. Excalibur, they’re from the PWG family. It’s all one huge, giant family. And I hope there is a day in the future when Adam Cole can be in the ring with The Young Bucks and Kenny and Cody and it’ll come full circle and we’ll be a giant happy family.”
