It has been 465 days since Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D., was last seen competing in All Elite Wrestling (AEW), leaving fans eager to know if she will return to the ring. In a recent conversation with interviewer Adam Glyn (@adamglyn on TikTok), Baker addressed rumors about her career status and made it clear she is not stepping away permanently.
“I just love that the fans are still talking about me,”
Baker expressed with gratitude.
“Keep the chatter up. I love it. Just stay tuned…I would not say that I’m retired. No.”
Clarifications on Backstage Dynamics and Future Plans
Since mid-last year, speculation has circulated about Baker’s relationship with AEW and her future in wrestling, fueled by rumors of disagreements within the company and supposed tensions with AEW president Tony Khan and fellow wrestlers. Earlier this month, Khan publicly dispelled these rumors, stating he has a strong appreciation for Baker and believes
“it would be good for everybody when she returns.”
However, no official timeline has been provided detailing when she might resume wrestling activities.
Britt Baker’s Pioneering Influence in AEW Women’s Division
Britt Baker made a significant mark in AEW history as the first female wrestler signed by the promotion in 2019, at the beginning of its formation. She quickly became a leading figure in the women’s division, notably participating in the groundbreaking Unsanctioned Lights Out match against Thunder Rosa in 2021—the very first women’s match to headline AEW’s flagship show, Dynamite.
Known as “The Role Model,” Baker won the AEW Women’s World Championship and was the inaugural champion of the Women’s Owen Hart Cup Tournament in 2022. Her final televised match was a victorious bout against Penelope Ford on November 13, 2024.
Implications of a Potential Return for AEW and Fans
Britt Baker’s anticipated comeback could reignite excitement within AEW’s women’s division and among its fan base. Having been a central player and barrier-breaker, her return would likely strengthen the promotion’s roster and storyline dynamics. While the exact timing remains uncertain, Baker’s assurances and Khan’s endorsement suggest that her reappearance in AEW is a significant prospect to watch closely in the near future.
