Dr. Britt Baker DMD’s status with AEW has been the subject of speculation for some time, with many questioning whether her prolonged absence hints at a quiet exit from wrestling. While rumors have circulated about a possible strained split between Baker and AEW, AEW CEO Tony Khan has affirmed her continued dedication to the company. On a recent episode of the Battleground Podcast, Khan reiterated that Baker remains part of AEW’s plans, though no specific return date has been set.
Khan expressed admiration for Baker and excitement about the ongoing developments within AEW’s women’s division. When discussing Baker’s role as a wrestler and character, he praised her highly and pointed to the growing depth of the women’s roster, mentioning talent such as Tekla, Alex Windsor, and Mina Shirakawa as potential fresh opponents for her.
“It would benefit everyone if Britt came back,” Khan said, noting that the evolving roster makes this an opportune moment for her return. While open to having Baker back, Khan did not provide any details on when or how it might happen. Reports previously suggested she could return as soon as May 2025 ahead of Double or Nothing, but creative plans have reportedly hit a snag. Both AEW and Baker have not commented further, leaving the situation unresolved. Nevertheless, Khan remains hopeful about Baker’s future with AEW.
“We’ve grown a lot in the women’s division over the past year, adding new stars and creating new rivalries. Britt is definitely someone we want to see back in AEW soon,” Khan concluded.
Fan Take: Britt Baker is not just a top talent but a cornerstone of AEW’s women’s division, and her return could inject fresh energy and star power into the promotion. For AEW fans and the sport overall, her comeback would signal exciting new matchups and sustained growth in women’s wrestling that could help elevate the division to new heights.
