Britt Baker signals potential AEW return amid long absence

Former AEW Women’s World Champion Britt Baker has signaled a potential return to professional wrestling following a nearly two-year absence from television. In recent social media interactions, Baker responded to a fan’s wish to see her return at the All In event at Wembley Stadium with the single word, “Same.”

Baker has not appeared on All Elite Wrestling (AEW) programming since November 13, 2024. While AEW President Tony Khan has stated he expects her return and maintains that she is highly regarded within the company, no official timeline has been provided. Some reports have suggested her absence is due to creative decisions, noting that her current contract is set to expire in the fall of 2026.

During her time away, Baker has remained visible through social media updates and was recently seen with fellow wrestler Rebel, who is currently battling ALS. AEW has announced a special “Rebel Heart” episode of Dynamite on September 9 to honor Rebel, an event that has sparked further speculation regarding Baker’s potential involvement.
