The wrestling world is buzzing as Britt Baker AEW exit rumors intensify following a cryptic social media post, while WWE reportedly sets its sights on Danhausen and Private Party as their AEW contracts near expiration. As WWE continues to welcome former AEW talent, these potential moves could reshape the roster for both promotions in the months ahead.
Britt Baker Sends Out Mysterious Message About Her AEW Future
Britt Baker, a prominent figure within AEW and the former AEW Women’s Champion, has recently sparked speculation about her future with the company. Using an Instagram story that drew considerable attention before it disappeared, Baker appeared to question her place in AEW. In her story, she used the fluctuating price of bottled water as an analogy and shared,
“Next time you feel your worth is nothing, maybe you’re at the wrong place,”
—Britt Baker, AEW Wrestler. This message led many fans and insiders to infer that all may not be well between Baker and the AEW decision makers.
Since the beginning of 2025, Baker has not competed in an AEW match, and sources have noted increasing tension backstage involving her and the promotion‘s leadership. At the start of the year, rumors circulated that Baker was at the center of backstage issues, fueling further speculation that her departure from AEW could be imminent once her contract expires.
Baker’s AEW Contract Details and WWE’s Interest in Other Wrestlers
Despite the extensive speculation, Baker’s exit from AEW is not expected to happen soon. Reports suggest her current contract binds her to the promotion until late 2026, preventing an immediate switch. However, WWE’s attention appears to be focused elsewhere for now, specifically on Danhausen and Private Party, whose agreements are rumored to conclude much sooner.
According to Bodyslam.net, WWE is particularly interested in signing Danhausen and the tag team Private Party once their AEW deals end. This could potentially position them as WWE Superstars before 2025 concludes—well ahead of Baker’s potential departure date. Fightful previously reported that Danhausen’s contract will expire in July, meaning his exit from AEW could happen any day. If he departs after his contract runs out rather than through a release, he would be eligible to debut for WWE without waiting.
Private Party is in a comparable situation regarding contract status, though the specific expiration dates have not been publicly disclosed. Last month, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter indicated that Private Party would soon be able to leave the company. Many in the wrestling community express surprise at WWE’s interest in either Danhausen or Private Party, yet with their contracts winding down, both acts could arrive in NXT or another WWE program in the near future.
What These Moves Could Mean for AEW and WWE
The ongoing appearances of former AEW talent in WWE—including high-profile names like Aleister Black, Rusev, and Blake Monroe (now performing as an NXT Superstar)—underscore the shifting dynamics between the companies. As speculation over Britt Baker’s future continues, attention also turns to other wrestlers weighing their options at the end of their contracts. If WWE successfully brings in Danhausen or Private Party, it may further intensify the competition for top talent and reshape storylines in both organizations.
As wrestlers seek new opportunities and promotions rethink their strategies, the next several months could bring notable changes to the professional wrestling landscape, with decision makers closely monitoring every move. Fans will be watching for official announcements regarding potential signings, departures, and how the wrestling landscape evolves for AEW, WWE, and the athletes involved.
