Uncertainty surrounds Britt Baker’s AEW future after her lengthy absence from television, despite being contracted with All Elite Wrestling until 2026. The situation has sparked debate within the wrestling community, as fans question when, or if, the former champion will return to the ring.
Continued Absence Raises Concerns About Baker’s AEW Prospects
Britt Baker, known as Dr. Britt Baker DMD, has not appeared on AEW programming since November 2024, leaving many to speculate about the reasons for her extended leave. With All Elite Wrestling remaining silent on her next steps, supporters have grown anxious for updates on her situation, especially since she remains under contract. The absence of information has allowed speculation about the Britt Baker AEW future to persist and intensify over the months.
Sean Ross Sapp Shares Perspective on Baker’s Status
During a recent Fightful Select Q&A Show, Sean Ross Sapp addressed questions about Britt Baker’s ongoing hiatus. He offered insight into the situation, casting doubt on a swift return despite her current agreement with AEW, which runs through 2026, and mentioning previous indications of her good health:
“At this point, I don’t think that we’re going to see her back. Her deal goes well into 2026, but it’s been over a year. And at least the last time I spoke with her, she indicated that she was healthy—and that’s been like ages and ages ago. I’ve heard no discussions regarding her in a long time outside of when we ask on media calls. I just… I don’t think it’s going to happen,” Sapp noted. [H/T Ringside News]
Sapp’s comments have deepened uncertainty about Baker’s potential AEW return, especially as no recent updates have emerged regarding ongoing negotiations or her future involvement with the company.
Tony Khan Expresses Hope for Britt Baker’s Comeback
On a recent appearance with Z100 New York, AEW President Tony Khan commented on Britt Baker’s status and legacy within the company. Khan gave assurances of her value to All Elite Wrestling and his wish to see her return to the spotlight:
“What a great star in AEW Dr. Britt has been. She is still a fantastic wrestling star. She’s been away from AEW for a while, but still very much with us, and at some point, hopefully soon, I’d love to see Baker come back,” Tony said.
Despite Khan’s positive remarks, he did not provide a specific timeline for Baker’s possible return, leaving her short- and long-term future in the company unresolved. As a former AEW Women’s World Champion and one of the most prominent personalities in the division, her prolonged hiatus is seen as a significant void within AEW programming.
