AEW President Tony Khan addressed Britt Baker’s absence from programming during an appearance on the Battleground podcast, confirming he expects the former AEW Women’s World Champion to return while declining to provide a specific timeline.
I really like Britt (Baker) a lot and I think there’s so many exciting things happening in the women’s division so, Britt’s somebody I really like and respect a lot and definitely think as we’ve evolved with more tag teams and singles wrestling opportunities now across multiple shows, now that we have four hours of TV with Dynamite and Collision, I think there’s gonna be more and more opportunities,” Khan said.
“You’re seeing I’m signing a lot more young wrestlers and Britt’s still somebody very highly regarded and respected here in AEW so, I would expect to see Britt back in AEW. I just don’t wanna say when.
Baker has been absent from AEW television since September 2024, fueling speculation about her future with the company.
Khan emphasized the women’s division’s evolution with expanded programming across Dynamite and Collision, suggesting increased opportunities for Baker upon her return.
It’ll be a good thing for everybody when Britt returns and I think it’s gonna be very, very good in terms of, for AEW right now, when you look at how the roster has evolved, there’s more and more fresh matches,” Khan added.
While Khan’s comments provide optimism about Baker’s AEW future, the lack of a concrete timeline ensures her eventual return will remain a topic of conversation.
