AEW Star Britt Baker Acknowledges Kevin Nash for Influencing Her Detroit Lions Fandom
AEW luminary and former AEW Women’s World Champion Britt Baker has attributed their allegiance to the Detroit Lions to Kevin Nash in the wake of the team’s triumphant victory.
On January 21, the Detroit Lions secured a decisive win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, propelling them to the NFC Championship game for the first time since the 1991 season.
Fans are fervently supporting the Lions’ remarkable journey, transitioning from a winless season in 2008 to now being just one victory away from the Super Bowl.
Former AEW Women’s World Champion and avid Steelers enthusiast Britt Baker expressed her enthusiasm on social media regarding the Lions’ significant win. Outlining her dual reasons for backing the Lions, Baker shared:
I’m fully invested in Detroit for two reasons:
- Eminem
- @RealKevinNash
Baker’s remarks seem to be in response to a tweet by Detroit native and WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash, who extended congratulations to the team and the city post-victory. Nash’s tweet read:
Congratulations @Lions and the city of Detroit. It’s been Detroit against everybody for years, and now everyone has hopped on. Plenty of room, America; we’ve been waiting a long time.
The Detroit Lions are set to face the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game on January 28, with the victor advancing to the Super Bowl.
Meanwhile, Britt Baker has been absent from AEW programming since September 2023.
