Britt Baker and Saraya have been in a long-running feud ever since the latter joined the promotion in late 2022. Both are involved in a bitter rivalry right now. However, when it comes to standing up for AEW, they know how to unite.

In a recent tweet, Baker revealed how she is angry that AEW ‘Outcasts’ a women’s stable led by Saraya are trying to monetize on Baker’s face. And they are doing so by printing and selling a t-shirt with a picture of her where she appears all bloody and injured.

A few weeks ago on AEW Dynamite, Saraya joined hands with Chris Jericho as they brutally assaulted Adam Cole and Baker. The beatdown left Baker with a bruised. Obviously Baker was playing up to her storyline rivalry with Saraya and their actions of printing a shirt with Baker’s bruised eye on it.

Baker says it makes her furious since somebody else is making money off her face, but an online fan took things to a new height. The netizen blamed AEW for promoting ‘domestic violence’ by letting the wrestlers print and sell a t-shirt with an injured Baker on it. However, both Saraya and Baker united to protect their promotion against accusations.

Baker replied to the netizen by saying, “Supports domestic violence how? I got a black eye in a RING? My enemies put a pic on a shirt to troll me and I outsmarted them. Does that mean all the (top-selling) bloody T-shirts are supporting murder? If a male wrestler had a shirt with a black eye, would you be this p****d?

To the same tweet, Saraya also replied, “Dude, as much as I think @Britt Baker is an a**hole…  Wrestling isn’t for you. LMAO,” trolling the fan online.

Clearly, the printed T-shirt is Saraya and AEW’s way of building up the rivalry between her and Britt Baker and is only part of a storyline. Hence, both the stars were quick to shut down the fan criticizing something that is part of kayfabe.
