All Elite Wrestling star Britt Baker has not appeared on any AEW programming since November 2024, sparking widespread speculation about her future. Rumors suggest that she might be leaving AEW to sign with WWE, stirring debate among fans and wrestling insiders ahead of the upcoming All In 2025 event.
During a recent press conference held for All In 2025, AEW President Tony Khan was questioned about Baker’s status with the company. Khan responded that he has not spoken with Baker about any departure and emphasized that she still has a strong chance of returning to AEW shows like Dynamite and Collision when the timing is right.
This statement, however, did little to quell fan concerns, as many interpreted it as a sign that Baker’s time with AEW could be ending. Some viewers criticized Khan’s handling of the situation, labeling him as lacking decisiveness or transparency regarding such a high-profile talent.
Tony Khan Highlights Britt Baker’s Talent and Possibility of AEW Return
Speaking at the All In press call, Tony Khan praised Britt Baker, referring to her as an exceptionally skilled performer and indicating she remains a valued asset for AEW. He stressed that her absence does not necessarily mean she is gone for good and that she could still make appearances when the situation suits both parties.
“Britt is a great example of somebody that is very talented and we could utilize in AEW with the right situation and at the right time. Just like in pro sports, when you have some really talented people that aren’t necessarily starting every game at that point doesn’t mean they won’t be starting in the future.” —Tony Khan, AEW President
If the speculation about Baker moving to WWE proves correct, it would mean a significant acquisition for WWE executive Triple H, adding a top-tier talent to their roster.
As AEW prepares for All In 2025, fans remain divided and anxious about Britt Baker’s career direction, closely watching for any developments that clarify her relationship with both wrestling promotions and what the next chapter might hold for the former women’s world champion.
