AEW star Britt Baker has not wrestled on AEW Dynamite since the November 13th 2024 edition. In a video published to Diamond Dallas Page’s YouTube channel in December, Britt stated that she was “off the road” from AEW but was staying busy.
In a podcast on PWTorchVIP.com, longtime wrestling analyst Wade Keller discussed the situation…
“People have been wondering where Britt Baker is. She might be done with AEW, at least the feeling I’m getting from talking to people in AEW is Tony Khan might have her in the same category as some other wrestlers, where they just don’t get phone calls and don’t get called in to show up. There’s a lot of frustration with her, I’m told, and I’ve heard this pretty consistently, she’s wildly unpopular in the women’s locker room. One person said no one ever wants to see her come back, speaking of the women’s locker room. Now, that is a bold, broad statement. I could imagine somebody on social media going, ‘I’m a woman in AEW, and I want her back.’ Okay, fair enough. But I’m just telling you, somebody’s perception is nobody wants her back. That’s how bad it is. Someone’s willing to tell me that.
There was the incident with her in MJF, and I’m told that factors into her being off television. But there are other issues with her that have come up. She has become increasingly difficult to work with in a general sense. She has always had a reputation for being difficult to work with. There was a specific situation recently and not counting the MJF, situation, where people just threw their hands up, and I don’t know a lot of details on it, but I was told. A little bit, but where it was sort of, maybe it wasn’t like a huge deal, but it was enough to sort of be the straw that broke the camel’s back in terms of just feeling like, you know what, we’ve got a strong women’s division now compared to when she was on top, and we don’t need to deal with her. She’s going to be this difficult to work with. And so that’s where they are with her.
I am told the Adam Cole situation is not stopping her like there should be no heat on Adam Cole. He has nothing to do with her not being on TV, even though they were in a relationship. And then, as of last reports, they weren’t. So that’s not a factor. If it ever was it isn’t now. Obviously, she had some stand-up moments in AEW and became a star and was seen as the centerpiece act. But even back then, I was hearing about her reputation and being unpopular in certain circles and difficult to work with, and being fiercely territorial of her role in the company in a way that just felt unsustainable. And from what I’m hearing, at least, the attitude right now, at the moment, the belief is that Tony Khan is fed up enough that he’s going to focus his TV time on others. And I don’t know what that means in terms of her pay and her contract, and it’s possible eventually, things will change. She’ll make a phone call and apologize, or there’ll be five major injuries on the women’s roster, and she’s still under contract, so Tony Khan will call her and go, ‘Well, now we need you.’ Obviously there’s, caveats to this, but at this point in asking around, looks like you should not expect to see her back imminently, and that is the context of why.” (quotes courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
