Britt Baker’s Current Situation in AEW

In the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer noted that Britt Baker is actually injured. Tony Khan let this piece of information slip out during the AEW Worlds End press conference. He listed Britt Baker along with others that AEW is currently missing due to injury or illness.

The reason Britt Baker hasn’t been around apparently is an injury situation. At the media call, Tony Khan talked about key people out with injuries right now and mentioned Kenny Omega, Pac, Adam Cole, Baker and Jamie Hayter

Britt Baker has been around AEW

It was later noted by Sean Ross Sapp on Fightful Select that Britt Baker has been around AEW television despite her injury. She was backstage during the December 27th episode of AEW Dynamite, but she wasn’t meant to appear on-screen. Britt Baker was only visiting this time around.

Fightful is told that Dr. Britt Baker DMD was backstage at Wednesday’s show in Orlando after being out of action for several months. Obviously Baker wasn’t used on the show, and was just backstage visiting.

The nature of Britt Baker’s injury was not disclosed. The AEW All Access reality television show featured her, and highlighted her back injury at the time. Hopefully, Britt Baker will see her return in 2024, and it will translate to much more promo time.
