Fans Demand Britt Baker AEW Return Amid Contract Controversy

Wrestling fans have expressed growing frustration over Britt Baker AEW absence, as the former AEW Women’s World Champion has not appeared on television for several months despite remaining under contract. Baker was last featured on AEW Dynamite in November 2024, when she defeated Penelope Ford, but there has been no official word on her return or future plans with the promotion.

Details of Britt Baker’s Ongoing Absence and Contract Situation

Britt Baker, also known as Dr. Britt Baker DMD, has been away from AEW programming for an extended period. Recent reports indicate that her contract with AEW might be extended through 2027, accounting for the time lost due to her injury-related break. This potential extension has sparked backlash from fans who feel frustrated about the uncertainty surrounding her status. Many supporters took to the X social platform to voice their displeasure, humorously comparing her contract to “Khantanamo Bay” and urging AEW President Tony Khan to release her rather than prolonging the agreement.

While absent from AEW, Baker addressed some of the negativity directed at her from parts of the wrestling fanbase. Speaking at the SI Red Carpet event, she admitted that, although she loves wrestling fans, their intense passion sometimes crosses a dangerous line. She revealed that she no longer competes full-time and has even encountered threatening behavior from certain overzealous viewers because of her villainous on-screen role.

“Not full-time anymore. As much as I love the wrestling fans, they are a little passionate, sometimes for their own good and my own safety. It got a little carried away sometimes with some scary wrestling fans wanting to come kill me because I’m a bad guy.” – Britt Baker, Professional Wrestler
