Britt Baker says top AEW star was brainchild of her kiss with Adam Cole
Dr. Britt Baker recently spoke in detail about sharing an on-screen kiss with her real-life boyfriend, Adam Cole. The reigning Women's Champion also revealed the brainchild behind the moment.
On the January 12th episode of AEW Dynamite, Baker and Cole shared the same ring for the first time. This came after Best Friends and former Undisputed Era members Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish (w/The Young Bucks) engaged in a massive brawl. After Baker and Cole assaulted Cassidy and Statlander, the couple shared a passionate kiss live in front of the audience.
While discussing the same on My Mom’s Basement with Robbie Fox, Baker said that she and Cole were keen on having a memorable moment together but were waiting for the right time and place.
"We both wanted to do it, but we also like, didn’t want to jump the gun,” Baker said. “It had to make sense. It had to be the right time, right place, right people, right story. This was just perfect."
She also went on to reveal that Matt Jackson came up with the idea of her kissing Cole on AEW Dynamite:
"No (we didn't have the kiss idea forever). That was Matt Jackson’s idea, actually. I hate to say it, yeah. (They're) Just a fun group of guys. The Bucks are absolutely hilarious, hysterical people. I’m very partial to Adam Cole."
Adam Cole confronted Kris Statlander. Britt Baker came to aid him and attacked her. The couple kisses.

This wasn't the only unforgettable moment the couple had on flagship programming. A week later, Adam Cole and Britt Baker teamed up for the first time to defeat Orange Cassidy and Kris Statlander in an exceptionally well-produced mixed tag team match.
