Britt Baker Comments on WWE’s Initial Refusal to Allow Adam Cole to Attend AEW Events

A recent episode of the AEW Unrestricted podcast had Britt Baker as the guest and she revealed that WWE initially was unwilling to allow her boyfriend Adam Cole to attend any AEW-related events in support of her.

“We’re very lucky that Tony [Khan] has no problem with me going to watch his live shows. As we all know, I was in the crowd at TakeOver when he won the title for the first time. This is also annoying, but he was originally told that he can’t come to our shows. For All In, he had a plane ticket booked and they told him, ‘You can’t go.’ He still came to be supportive and he watched it on his phone in the hotel room and came to the afterparty. Recently, they changed their tune and he was able to come to our New Year’s show. It’s great for him too because this is his family. The Young Bucks and Adam Cole go way back. They’ve been together long before Adam Cole and Britt Baker were together.”
