Britt Baker has provided an update on her health after missing her scheduled match on Tuesday’s Dynamite due to an illness.
The former Women’s Champion was expected to compete in a #1 Contenders match at the TV tapings. She was supposed to go up against Willow Nightingale but got pulled on the day of the show.
The AEW star took to Twitter and provided an update on her status late on Thursday. She thanked everyone who sent her well wishes in a video and revealed that she is dealing with strep throat:
“I still have a strep throt, but I sound way worse than I actually feel. I feel so much better now. Two days ago, I was dying, but now we’re good. I went to urgent care, got tested for strep, took antibiotics, got an IV shot. I’m good. I’m good. I’m on the mend.”

Britt Baker Stuck At Home Without Emergency Supplies
The female star also revealed that the sudden change of plans caused some distress to her because of recent weather calamities in the US. Britt Baker didn’t stock up on emergency supplies and they were all gone by the time she realized she was staying home instead of traveling to Washington for the AEW show:
“For future reference, if you are in an area that could be affected by a hurricane, stock the fuck up. I messed up. I didn’t think I was going to be here. I was supposed to be at Dynamite in Washington, so I was like, I’m fine. No, change of plans.
I was stuck in Orlando. And there was no supplies by the time I realized that there was no gas, no water, nothing. All the essentials gone off all the shelves. So stock up in advance. Don’t be a dumb ass like me. And thank you, again, everybody who checked in and all the weirdos with your f*cking conspiracy theories, f*ck off.”
Britt was replaced by not one but three women in the match against Willow. Jamie Hayter, Saraya, and Nyla Rose all joined the bout, making it a fatal four-way.
Hayter was taken out of the match in the end due to interference from a returning Penelope Ford, and Nightingale won the bout after pinning Saraya. She will now face Mariah May for the women’s title at the October 12 WrestleDream PPV.
