Britt Baker, a pioneering figure in AEW as its first female signee and former Women’s World Champion, has been absent from AEW broadcasts for a prolonged period. Her career momentum halted due to health complications, which sidelined her from in-ring competition. After returning, Baker’s visibility significantly declined, accompanied by backstage tensions including a notable verbal confrontation with MJF. She has not wrestled since November 2024, fueling speculation about her Britt Baker AEW status and possible WWE interest.
Insights Into Baker’s Current Activity and AEW Presence
Recent commentary from Fightful Select’s Q&A with Sean Ross Sapp revealed that Baker has been staying home or engaging with fans on Instagram but has not appeared backstage at AEW events. This absence from even behind-the-scenes activities raises questions about her current and future involvement with the company.

Ray highlighted the lack of valid reasons for her exclusion from television and story arcs despite her previous prominence.
“Has Britt Baker been so out of sight and out of mind that her wrestling career could be in jeopardy? There’s no reason why Britt Baker should not be on my television… there is zero good reason why that girl should not be involved in certain storylines right now,” Ray said.
