Britt Baker’s Rookie Year with AEW Star Julia Hart

AEW Women’s Division standout, Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D., has bestowed the title of ‘Rookie of the Year’ upon Julia Hart for her stellar performance throughout 2023.

Undergoing a significant character transformation post-Double or Nothing 2022, Julia Hart reached new heights by clinching the TBS Championship at Full Gear 2023, marking an impressive ascent in her career.

During an interview with Ring the Belle, Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D., expressed her admiration for Hart, designating her as a personal favorite and dubbing her ‘rookie of the year.’ Baker commended Hart’s remarkable character evolution, especially considering their initial encounter on AEW’s Dynamite, where Hart, then a cheerleader, faced Baker in a match lasting perhaps only 30 seconds.

Reflecting on Hart’s growth, Baker emphasized the difficulty of embracing such a drastic character shift and praised Hart for fully committing to the transformation. According to Baker, Hart’s dedication is evident not only in her improved in-ring skills but primarily in the authenticity she brings to her character.

Baker acknowledged the challenge of convincing the audience to invest emotionally in matches before they even occur, and she believes Hart has successfully crossed that bridge with her captivating character development. For those focused on statistics, it’s worth noting that Dr. Baker was Hart’s third opponent in AEW overall but the first on Dynamite, underscoring the significance of their initial encounter in shaping Hart’s evolving career.
