Britt Baker was recently a guest on the Talk is Jericho podcast. During the interview, she spoke with Chris Jericho about the notion that she stole her current gimmick from Bayley.
Here is what Britt had to say about the WWE fans who think that she stole her gimmick from Bayley:
“No, we did not steal the role model gimmick from Bayley…the inspiration came from you, from Chris Jericho, for the role model gimmick. I don’t want to say I don’t know totally what’s going on with Raw and SmackDown, because I try to stay in touch with it, but at the same time, I’m a dentist and a professional wrestler. I don’t know every single storyline going on each week. So it wasn’t until I actually said the word ‘role model’ on TV, and then I’ve got the Bayley army coming at me – ‘You’re stealing her gimmick!’, that I even knew that she was calling herself that too. Granted, totally different uses of the words, totally different gimmicks, as we call it. But I want to set the record straight, that no we didn’t steal that from anybody. Well I stole it from you, not from her.”
Chris Jericho also added the following:
“Yeah and she probably stole it from me too, because I think her and Sasha watch a lot of my stuff and Eddie’s stuff…and I probably stole it from somebody too, so I wouldn’t worry about it. I never saw it as a Bayley thing, I just saw it as a great idea for you to do.”
