Twitter erupts to former champion seemingly taking major shots at popular AEW star under Tony Khan's mentorship

The wrestling world recently reacted to Britt Baker seemingly taking jibes at AEW Women's World Champion Thunder Rosa.

Baker recently appeared on the Swerve City podcast to share her views on a wide variety of topics. During the session, the former AEW Women's Champion opened up about never missing a show despite suffering from multiple injuries.

Britt Baker then stated how she once appeared on Dynamite just two days after having surgery to fix a broken nose.

Wrestling fans speculated Baker's verbal tirade to be a shot at Thunder Rosa, with whom she allegedly doesn't have a great relationship.

The Twitterati reacted to The Doctor's clip from the podcast on social media, and below are some of the reactions to the same:

@JobberNationTV Britt should stay in AEW. She’ll get knocked down to the bottom of the mountain in WWE. She’d be humbled big time
@JobberNationTV Britt Baker is just mad she’ll never be as good as Thunder Rosa
@JobberNationTV Britt is not as good as she thinks she is.
@JobberNationTV So when Charlotte does it it cool? Bullying and having a locker room hate her?
@JobberNationTV Lost on this pettiness is Britt admitting to AEW not being a safe place to work.
In 3 years working there she’s broken her leg, her wrist, her nose x2, and gotten a concussion.

@TheCovalentTV Her promo skills don't match her in ring skills. She is not an athlete like Charlotte Flair is in the ring. There are not many women in that company who are good on the mic and in the ring. Storm is iffy on the mic but is okay in the ring. Hayter is good in ring. That's it.
@TheCovalentTV Of course she ain't missing dynamite she knows she goes away they'll start pushing someone else...Jamie Hayter.
@TheCovalentTV I don’t get the hype of Britt Baker. She’s meh in the ring and can only cut a decent promo if she takes personal shots for an “ooooh” reaction.
@TheCovalentTV austin was not taking shots at the rock every week etheir i hope rosa goes to the wwe
@TheCovalentTV This is nothing new. They are Brett vs hbk all over again. This is good for buisness!

AEW star Britt Baker also opened up on comparisons with WWE Superstar Charlotte Flair

During the same edition of the Swerve City podcast, Baker heaped praise on 16-time champion Charlotte Flair and called her "one of the best women's wrestlers of all time."

However, the AEW star wasn't too pleased with the constant comparisons between her and The Queen on Twitter.

"I do get compared to Charlotte all the time on Twitter. For me, okay cool, one of the best women's wrestlers of all time. You're so mean for calling me that," Britt Baker said. "People don't understand the constant pressure that comes with all the hate that you get. We are people. On Twitter, they dehumanize us, 'Oh, we're just wrestling characters,' but we're not, we're people. This is our job and we want to be good at our job," said Baker.

While Britt Baker is already one of the top women's stars in All Elite Wrestling, it will be interesting to see how Tony Khan elevates her even further in the foreseeable future.
