00:13Taz, what a moment it was this past Sunday night

00:16at Forbidden Door.

00:18Mercedes Manet successfully became double champion,

00:22the TBS Champion, New Japan Strong Women's Champion,

00:26but did not have long to celebrate

00:28as Dr. Britt Baker, DMD, returning on the scene.

00:32Yeah, Britt made her presence known directly in the face

00:36of Mercedes for sure in Mercedes' moment.

00:39But that's how the good doctor does it.

00:42She picks her spots.

00:43Haven't seen her in a while,

00:44but it's great for us to see her again here.

00:47Our old friend Tony Schiavone, key word's old.

00:50You take me to it.

00:51I think that's what I do.

00:52Ha ha.

00:55All right, see you later, Tony.

00:56Take care, Schiavone.

00:56Bye-bye.

00:57-♪

01:10Damn, I missed you guys.

01:12-♪

01:15I thought way too long, way too hard

01:18about what I was going to say my first interview back,

01:22and then I said, Britt, shut the hell up, stop thinking.

01:24So I'm just going to talk to you, if that's okay.

01:27-♪

01:32I'm going to talk to you about three things that we all have,

01:37and that's a past, a present, and a future.

01:41Our past is our lesson.

01:44Our present is a gift.

01:48And our future is our motivation.

01:52Let's start with the past.

01:55For the last 10 months,

01:59I'm sure a lot of you have been wondering, where's Britt?

02:02-♪

02:06And any time that question was asked,

02:08the answer was given, she's injured.

02:13Yeah, but I think you guys know me by now

02:16to know that it would take more than a couple herniated discs

02:20and a torn hip labrum to keep me away from this place.

02:24Back in November, physically, yeah, I was banged up,

02:28and mentally, I was probably running on empty.

02:32But every time I looked myself in the mirror,

02:34I said, I'm good.

02:37Until one day, I wasn't.

02:43Because one day, I started feeling really sick.

02:50And the room was spinning, my vision was blurry,

02:55and my right arm was tingling and numb,

02:58and it was, something didn't feel right,

03:00but I looked at myself in the mirror, and I said, I'm good.

03:04I tried to open a bottle of water, and I couldn't.

03:10And my entire right side stopped working.

03:17To sum this story up, I spent a week in the hospital

03:21with a diagnosis of a TIA, which is a transient ischemic attack.

03:26And the doctors explained that to me as an instance

03:31when your brain is not getting enough blood for that moment,

03:35and it is a major warning sign for a stroke,

03:38so much that they call it a mini-stroke.

03:41And at that moment, I looked myself in the mirror,

03:44and I said, Brit, you are not good.

03:48And I told Tony, I need to stay home.

03:52I need to get myself right.

03:54And he said, OK, Brit, let me know when you're good.

03:58Let's jump to the present.

04:04I'm here, I'm cleared, and I'm healthy.

04:07Let's jump to the present.

04:13I'm here, I'm cleared, and I'm healthy.

04:21But I have to be honest with you guys.

04:25In my entire professional wrestling career,

04:27I was never more nervous than I was Sunday night

04:31at Forbidden Door.

04:32And you're probably wondering why.

04:33All you did was stand at the top of the ramp, Brit.

04:36But I was never more unsure of myself.

04:40I never doubted myself more.

04:43Because I didn't know if anyone was

04:45going to give a damn that I was about to walk

04:47through that tunnel.

04:48I love you, Brit.

04:53And you're cheering right now because you all

04:55have felt that.

04:56You have felt the fear of rejection.

04:59And it's irrational, but it's persistent as hell.

05:02And the fear of rejection is often

05:04worse than the rejection itself.

05:07But vulnerability is showing up even when we have no control

05:11over what's going to happen.

05:13And Sunday night at Forbidden Door,

05:15when I needed professional wrestling,

05:18when I needed all elite wrestling, when I needed you,

05:27you welcomed me back with open arms and D&D chants.

05:36And for that, I will always, always be in your corner.

05:43Because at the end of the day, I'm one of you.

05:47And I mean that from the bottom of my heart.

05:49Let's go to the future now, which is your motivation.

05:52And I'm going to leave you with this.

05:55When you are going through a hard time,

05:59go through that shit.

06:01Be present and feel all of it.

06:03Because if you do, it's going to make it that much better when

06:07you get to the other side.

06:08And you will.

06:09We all will.

06:12Because we all possess the impulse to be elite.

06:20And speaking of elite, I have to bring this up.

06:25Because I heard we have a new female face

06:30of all elite wrestling.

06:32I am.

06:33I am.

06:35And it must be so rewarding for her

06:40to be able to call herself that after shedding blood, sweat,

06:46and tears in this very ring and building this company

06:50from the ground up.

06:52That must feel great for her, right?

06:53D.F. D.F. D.F.

06:58And CEO.

07:01Those three letters, I'm sure she worked so hard

07:05and studied for over a decade to earn those three letters.

07:09And it is honestly brilliant to manipulate

07:12three letters and it is honestly brilliant to manipulate your fan base to

07:17chant those three letters by piping them in your entrance music.

07:25But guys, I don't think we need music to tell our new friend.

07:34The only three letters that matter in this company are D-

07:39E-M-P.

07:49We just want to say congratulations, double champion.

08:17You're a CEO that we could actually get behind.

08:20How about that, huh?

08:21Hey, your championship celebration is ready.

08:24Ooh, let's go.

08:26Go get it, champion.

08:27All right, guys, get the ring ready.

08:29Get the props going.

08:29Let's go.

08:31Come on.

08:32Keep it up.

08:33Get to work.

08:34Let's go.

08:34Keep the action going.

08:35Keep the energy, everybody.

08:36Let's go.

08:37Let's have a great show.

08:41Wow, where would we be without Matthew and Nicholas Jackson?

08:44I'm looking off the monitor here and I think that's what's happened.

08:47They're bringing out the balloons and the-

08:50Yeah, well, somebody's in the ring.

08:52Come on now.

08:52The championship celebration apparently is going to begin while Britt Baker's still in the ring.

08:59This is bogus, but this is typical EVP stuff.

09:05Yeah, that's definitely disrespectful to our returning Britt Baker, who's a former

09:10AEW Women's World Champion.

09:12She's an original here and AEW Foundation tournament winner.

09:14Day one, Britt.

09:16Yeah.

09:16And who not that long ago, her career was in jeopardy, as you heard.

09:21Well, there is Mercedes.

09:23That's not to take anything away from Mercedes Benet, who this past Sunday at Forbidden Door

09:27had an incredible battle with Stephanie Van Gurn.

09:30And there you see Mercedes as the TBS champion and the Japan Strong Women's Champion.

09:37And you know what I like about this, Xcalibur?

09:39Britt's not moving.

09:41She's holding her ground through all of this.

09:44And I guess Mercedes thought she would just leave and give the ring to Mercedes.

09:49Yeah, that's not how Britt is.

09:50She's feisty, but so is Mercedes, so let's see how this thing evolves.

10:09TBS! TBS! TBS! TBS! TBS!

10:29Um, oops.

10:33Britt, did I interrupt something?

10:37Because Chicago!

10:43It's time to celebrate with your double champion, Mercedes Benet.

10:55I get it.

10:57I outshined your moment at Forbidden Door, so now you're trying to outshine mine.

11:05Britt, what you do is so irrelevant to me.

11:08But if you want to talk about Forbidden Door, let's talk about it.

11:11The place, the pay-per-view I made famous when I became double champion.

11:20You know, Britt, I should have known you would try to come out here and steal my spotlight.

11:26Chicago! Chicago! Chicago! Chicago!

11:35But unlike Chicago and like you, I want you to get a real good look at what a real star looks like.

11:50All in. All in, Mercedes.

11:56I wrestled at the first all in right here in Chicago.

12:03I was the first female to go all in on All Elite Wrestling by signing my name on that contract.

12:14I wrestled at All In last year at Wembley Stadium when your ass was looking like a broken bitch with a broken leg in the stands.

12:29So I want to face you at All In.

12:41Whoa!

12:46Britt, I'm never broke. I stay rich.

12:52And since I am a double champion, there is a long list of girls who are waiting in the back.

12:58So you need to get in the back of the line, bitch.

13:10Bitch, what line?

13:19Well, I see you're a fan, so you obviously know what I'm going to say next.

13:25There's a price to pay when you mess with Mercedes' money.

13:36Wow. That thing got hot real quick.

13:42This is going to be a very interesting situation to watch develop.

13:50But fans, let's take you back to this Sunday at Forbidden Door, a pivotal moment in our main event.
