Former AEW Women’s World Champion Britt Baker has been absent from All Elite Wrestling TV since late 2024.
According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, Baker remains under contract well into 2026, but her absence has stretched so long that a comeback no longer appears to be on the table.
Sapp noted that the last time he spoke directly with Baker, she indicated she was healthy – a conversation that took place quite some time ago. Despite that, there has been no creative movement internally, and no recent discussions about reintroducing her to AEW programming.
When asked whether anything had shifted behind the scenes, Sapp said he had not heard of any internal talks regarding Baker’s return beyond routine media inquiries. Based on what he’s been told, he does not expect her to be brought back.
On Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famer Bubba Ray Dudley said the following about Baker’s status:
“Has Britt Baker been so out of sight and out of mind that her wrestling career could be in jeopardy? I think the only place she’s safe right now is in AEW.
I’m going to take that back, if she showed up in the WWE, I don’t think people would know. I think she’d have to go through NXT. If she showed up in TNA, people would know her, and Britt Baker, as an addition to that Knockouts locker room, would be great.
I know exactly why (she’s not on TV), but I think all the reasons are complete, total, and utter bullsh*t. There’s no reason why Britt Baker should not be on my television. There’s no reason why Britt Baker should not be in an AEW ring. There’s no reason why Britt Baker should be on the sidelines.
Unless Britt Baker is hurt, which I don’t think she is, there is zero good reason why that girl should not be involved in certain storylines right now or be brought back.”
