All Elite Wrestling star Britt Baker was left with a black eye at the hands of The Outcasts earlier this month after she tried to stop Chris Jericho and the Jericho Appreciation Society from beating down her boyfriend Adam Cole.
Baker initially tweeted the black eye photo at Jericho and Saraya after the run-in during "AEW Dynamite." But pro wrestling fans were outraged when the picture of Baker’s black eye was put on a T-shirt and was being sold on AEW’s shop for $29.99. As part of the rivalry with Saraya, Toni Storm and Ruby Soho, Baker tweeted that the faction made the shirts.
