Johnny Gargano: AEW's Britt Baker Is A Diamond

Johnny Gargano has described AEW Women's World Champion Britt Baker as 'a diamond' because of her passion for the business.

Former WWE NXT star Gargano and wife Candice LeRae helped to train baker in wrestling, with the Doctor travelling from Pittsburgh to Cleveland regularly to work with the duo.

Gargano is full of love and praise for Baker, saying she went 'above and beyond' to become one of the best in AEW.

Speaking on his Twitch stream, Gargano said: "She's kind of one of my original kids. She's Austin and Indi's, I guess, older sister.

"She used to travel from Pittsburgh to Cleveland while she was in school, to train with me and Candice, I mean, that that shows you right there... I say this all the time. You can teach a lot of people how to do headlocks, hammerlocks, and how to do this thing, and how to do this correctly. But you can't teach someone to love this. You can't teach somebody to go above and beyond.

"Britt obviously went above and beyond to try to become good at this and that just comes from a place of love. That's when you know you got a diamond. I say this all the time about people at the Performance Center. People get paid to train and be able to get paid to learn how to wrestle, but you can't teach someone to love this. But when you find that person who's that like athletic freak who also loves this, that's when you got that diamond."
