Speculation surrounding Britt Baker AEW absence rumors has intensified after a fellow wrestler made a pointed social media post, drawing attention to Baker’s unexplained time away from the ring. The situation comes as questions swirl about Baker’s future with All Elite Wrestling and whether new developments are on the horizon.
Queen Aminata, a recent addition to the AEW roster who began in 2021 under Tony Khan, is at the center of this new wave of intrigue. Originally breaking out as the GCW Women’s Champion, Aminata has been more prominent in AEW’s affiliate, Ring of Honor, while also maintaining appearances on AEW programming. Her most recent match occurred during this month’s Summer Blockbuster event, where she squared off against Thekla.
The intrigue escalated when Aminata posted a striking image on X earlier today, posing in her hotel room with a $6.50 water bottle. Observers quickly noticed that this might reference an earlier, cryptic post by Britt Baker herself on Instagram, inviting speculation among fans about potential tensions or inside jokes at play among the roster.
With Baker absent from AEW and chatter circulating about her possible departure, Aminata’s veiled actions have stoked rumors that she is indirectly calling out the former AEW Women’s World Champion. The two are both notable names in the division, and these hints on social media have only fueled curiosity within the wrestling community.

Queen Aminata Opens Up About Creative Frustrations in AEW
In addition to her recent social media post, Queen Aminata has shared frustrations about internal communication within AEW. Discussing her experiences in her own vlog, Aminata revealed that she often finds out about her appearances and segments on the show at the very last minute, sometimes while sitting in the makeup chair awaiting final instructions.
“You know what, I honestly feel like every time I’m in the makeup chair, that’s when I find out if I’m doing something or not. So, I was just sitting there getting my makeup done, and they told me, ‘Hey, you have a segment and you have a promo.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, okay. Well, now I know what I’m doing.’”

Attempting to mitigate such late changes, Aminata has tried getting her makeup done ahead of time, but she admitted the lack of consistent planning continues to be a source of frustration. Her openness provides insight into the backstage experience under the team led by Tony Khan, suggesting some challenges remain in the coordination between talent and creative decision-makers.
As rumors persist regarding Baker’s status and Queen Aminata’s comments continue to spark conversation, the spotlight remains firmly on the AEW women’s division. Shifts in communication and personnel could signal growing pains for the promotion as it navigates both emerging and established talent. Fans will be closely watching for any signs of official news regarding Baker or further movement within the roster.
