Britt Baker AEW Status Clarification Amid Speculation About Her Future – There has been growing speculation about Britt Baker’s future in AEW, as she has not appeared on television since November. Reports have sparked discussions about her status, with conflicting narratives circulating within the wrestling community.
According to Wade Keller of PWTorch, Baker might be on the outs with AEW. Keller reported that Baker is viewed similarly to other talent currently not utilized and is frustrated with her position. He also noted that she is unpopular within the women’s locker room, and AEW CEO Tony Khan may have reached a point where he is unwilling to use her unless circumstances change. Keller’s report suggested Baker is not expected to return to TV anytime soon.
However, during Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez offered a different perspective. Meltzer downplayed the dramatic headlines, noting that while there is some truth to the story, it has been exaggerated by multiple outlets. Alvarez explained how the narrative evolved from Keller’s initial comments into increasingly sensationalized claims that Baker was “done” with AEW and permanently sidelined by Khan.
Alvarez clarified that while Baker is a polarizing figure, claims that she is universally disliked are false. He confirmed speaking to several AEW insiders who emphasized that her absence from TV is not indicative of a permanent exit. Baker remains under contract for a substantial period, and decisions regarding her use rest with Khan. Meltzer reiterated that there is no indication Baker won’t be used again, but for now, she simply isn’t part of current plans.
Meltzer: “My basic impression is it’s a story that there’s a kernel of truth to some of it, but it got blown way out of proportion.”
Alvarez: “Well, what happened is, I think that Wade Keller, on one of his shows, was talking about it. And it was one of those things where somebody wrote about what they heard him say, and then another site took that story and wrote a more dramatic headline, and then another site took that story and wrote an even more dramatic headline, and by like noon Pacific today, I was seeing these headlines, Britt Baker is done with AEW, Tony Khan will no longer use her. And he was like, what is happening here? So, if you talk to a lot of people in AEW, obviously Britt Baker is polarizing. There are people that don’t like Britt. The idea that nobody in the locker room likes Britt is absolutely not true. I talked to a lot of people today, and at the end of the day, she’s not being used right now, and most people don’t know why. Ultimately, it’s Tony’s decision whether she’s gonna be used or not. And nobody I talk to, and it’s a lot of people that talk to Tony. I mean, nobody said she’s not coming back. It’s not like she’s never going to be used again. Her contract goes for quite a while. It’s just she’s not being used right now, and that’s what the story is.”
Baker’s next move remains uncertain, but her future in AEW appears more nuanced than the initial reports suggested.
