Britt Baker is currently on a prolonged absence from AEW television. Britt was last featured on the November 13, 2024, episode of Dynamite, where she defeated Penelope Ford in a one-on-one contest.

During the first few months of her absence from television, reports emerged that the real-life dentist had backstage heat. There were also suggestions that she’d soon depart the company, but nothing came of that.

AEW President Tony Khan has since been repeatedly asked during media interactions about her prolonged absence from weekly programming and when fans expect her to be back.

During a recent appearance on the Battleground Podcast, Khan was asked about Britt. Tony said that he likes the former Women’s World Champion a lot and that he expects her to be back soon; the AEW boss refused to provide a timeline.

“I really like Britt a lot, and I think there’s so many exciting things happening in the women’s division, so Britt’s somebody I really like and respect a lot and definitely think, as we’ve evolved with more tag teams and singles wrestling opportunities now across multiple shows, now that we have four hours of TV with Dynamite and Collision, I think there’s gonna be more and more opportunities. You’re seeing I’m signing a lot more young wrestlers, and Britt’s still somebody very highly regarded and respected here in AEW, so I would expect to see Britt back in AEW. I just don’t wanna say when,” Khan said.
