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 up her boyfriend Adam Cole.
Baker initially tweeted the photo of the black eye on Jericho and Saraya after the match during «AEW Dynamite.» But pro wrestling fans were outraged when Baker’s black eye image was placed on a T-shirt and sold at the AEW store for $29.99. As part of the rivalry with Saraya, Toni Storm, and Ruby Soho, Baker tweeted that the faction made the jerseys.

AEW was accused of supporting domestic violence for removing the shirt.
«I can’t believe AEW is trying to make money. With a shirt that supports domestic violence. This shirt in the eyes of the public will cause more harm than (sic) good. A lot of (sic) people don’t even know what it means AEW. A (sic) a guy who wears it in a bar with pride smh. Many (sic) black eyed,» one person wrote on Twitter.

Baker defended the jersey.
«Support domestic violence how? I got a black eye in a RING? My haters put a picture on a shirt to troll me and I tricked them,» she wrote. «Does that mean all the bloody (best-selling) jerseys are supporting murder? If a male wrestler had a jersey with a black eye, would you be this f—–?»
Matt Cardona, a former WWE star, also advised the fan to «get off Twitter.»
Baker is one of the original AEW stars who joined the company at its founding.
