More Backstage Details on AEW Status of Britt Baker

– As previously reported, there have recently been a great deal of rumors regarding the AEW status of former Women’s World Champion Britt Baker. An earlier report indicated that Dr. Baker is actively trying to leave AEW and get out of her current contract. However, a later report from Fightful Select stated that multiple sources “vehemently denied” that Baker is trying to exit the company. Dave Meltzer commented on the topic with more details on yesterday’s edition of Wrestling Observer Radio.

Meltzer noted that both AEW President and CEO Tony Khan and Baker have neither confirmed or denied the issues. Meltzer stated, “There’s two direct people who know, which are obviously Tony Khan and Britt Baker, and I just want to point out that neither denied anything. Neither confirmed anything.” He continued, “I’m sure neither right now would confirm anything until something’s done, but nobody denied anything either. So that’s where we’re at.”

Meltzer also stated that there are people within AEW who thinks that Baker will eventually return, while others think that she intends to leave. He added, “I know people in the company who think that it’s just one of those things, and she’ll be back. Other people think that she’s gone and wants to go.”

It was also reported by Fightful that Britt Baker has “well over” a year left on her current AEW contract. She has not appeared on AEW programming since the November 13, 2024 edition of Dynamite. After Baker beat Penelope Ford, Serena Deeb came out to confront Baker, and Baker then audibly responded, “Nobody cares,” multiple times into the camera.
