Britt Baker discusses 'book the women 's division better' sign on July 26 Dynamite

Since the inception of All Elite Wrestling, a point of contention and discussion has been the booking of the company’s women’s division.
Despite the criticisms, Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. has been one of the biggest homegrown stars for the entire promotion.
On the July 26 episode of AEW Dynamite, Baker defeated Taya Valkyrie. After the bout, the camera zoomed on a sign that read, “Book The Women’s Division Better,” that has caused plenty of debate.

Speaking with Scott Fishman of TV Insider, the former AEW Women’s World Champion was asked about the sign. Noting that the best matches come out of storylines that fans are invested in, Britt said:
“I see both sides to that because I completely agree. The absolute best matches that come out of professional wrestling come out of storylines you are so invested in.”
“There are weeks and months that tell this beautiful story. It’s something we haven’t been able to invest as much time in the women’s division lately. Again, there are many factors. Injuries, this and that.”
“I definitely want to get to the point where we can get some solid storytelling with the women. At the same time the fans who hold signs that say to book the women’s division better, that’s great. Then when I go on Twitter it doesn’t echo that.”

“I don’t see the same support. It’s I hate these two wrestlers. This match was too long. This match was too short.”
“If all you see about women’s wrestling is all negative online, it doesn’t add up to what they are preaching. If you want the women to be booked better, support the women.”

Baker continued on to state that people don’t have to like everything, but they also need to proclaim how much they hate things, saying:
“You don’t have to like every wrestler and every match. You also don’t have to get on Twitter and preach from the mountaintops how much you hated things. Some stuff, keep to yourself.”
“I can’t tell you how many times I go to a restaurant and I don’t like how my steak is cooked. I don’t need to talk to the chef and take 30 pictures of the steak to tell them I don’t like how this steak is cooked.”
“There is too much invested in the negativity that it does so much harm. I hope people realize one day how much harm it does to not only the individuals and mental health, but to the industry as a whole.”
