Folks, hold onto your headbands! Britt Baker, the AEW superstar, has just landed a role in Netflix’s hit series “Cobra Kai.” Yep, she’s kicking her way from the wrestling ring to the karate mat!
Baker’s Big Break
While Britt Baker has been causing quite the stir in the wrestling world, she’s also making headlines for something far more exciting. The former AEW Women’s World Champion is set to join the cast of Netflix’s “Cobra Kai,” the continuation of “The Karate Kid” saga. This news was confirmed by PWInsiderElite.com, and fans are already buzzing!
The Role
Baker will portray a “European fighter” competing in an international karate tournament in the final season. She filmed her scenes before returning to AEW, a delay caused by her acting commitments. While PWIE couldn’t confirm the extent of her role, we know she’ll be gracing our screens in the later episodes of the season, which premieres in November.
Wrestling Woes
But it’s not all Hollywood glitz for Baker. She recently returned to AEW at Forbidden Door on June 30, where she had a face-off with TBS Champion Mercedes Mone, setting up a title match at All In. Baker also dropped a bombshell on “AEW Dynamite,” revealing she had suffered a ministroke last fall while recovering from other injuries.
The Suspension Saga
Adding to the drama, Baker was suspended after a backstage brawl with American Champion MJF. Allegedly, Baker was caught “burying” MJF and Will Ospreay during their match at “Dynamite 250,” which MJF’s fiancée, Alicia Atout, overheard. Despite this hiccup, Baker is still slated to challenge Mone for the title in London on August 25. Talk about a rollercoaster ride!
What’s Next?
With her new acting gig and wrestling drama, Britt Baker’s life is anything but boring. Fans will be glued to their screens, whether it’s for her karate chops on “Cobra Kai” or her title chase in AEW.
