Below are a couple of top AEW & WWE news stories of the day, involving Britt Baker and Dominik Mysterio.
• Former AEW Women’s World Champion Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. has been absent from All Elite Wrestling shows since September.
Despite expressing frustration about her lack of TV time, the Wrestling Observer revealed that her absence is due to a bad back and an illness preventing her from traveling to recent shows in her hometown of Pittsburgh.
This health-related issue explains her limited involvement in storylines and her focus on promoting other talents in the months leading up to her absence.
Baker recently tweeted the following:
“Tonight’s #AEWDynamite:
MJF live promo time: 7 mins
Christian Cage live promo time: 10 mins
All of 2023 #AEWDynamite:
Britt Baker live promo time: 0 mins”
• During an interview on the Cheap Heat podcast, 2-time WWE Hall of Famer and NXT booker Shawn Michaels praised Dominik Mysterio big time.
Below is what HBK said about the current NXT North American Champion:
“To me, Dominik Mysterio is MVP of the WWE this year. Every time he comes here, I look at him and it’s… hardest working man in show business. He has just been an iron man for us. I can’t speak to what he does on the main roster, but he has just done everything we have asked of him. He’s done it professionally. He’s done it admirably. He’s done it to the best of his ability.
Yes, do I think it’s been to his advantage because a lot was put on him early and he, you know, he probably didn’t get the opportunity to develop, you know, behind the scenes as much as other people had and he had to do it out there in front of the world and probably get judged harshly for it?
But I’m telling you, I have nothing but admiration for that young man. He has been a stud for us. I think from a company standpoint, everybody would agree with me.”
