There have been numerous rumors concerning the status of former Women’s World Champion Britt Baker in AEW. Initially, it was reported that Baker is actively seeking to leave AEW and exit her current contract. However, a subsequent report from Fightful Select indicated that multiple sources have "vehemently denied" these claims, insisting that Baker is not trying to leave the company.
According to Dave Meltzer on the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, both AEW President and CEO Tony Khan and Baker have neither confirmed nor denied the issues. This is what Meltzer said, “There’s two direct people who know, which are obviously Tony Khan and Britt Baker, and I just want to point out that neither denied anything. Neither confirmed anything. I’m sure neither right now would confirm anything until something’s done, but nobody denied anything either. So that’s where we’re at.”
Meltzer also mentioned that some people within AEW believe Baker will eventually return to the company, while others think she plans to leave. This is what Meltzer added, “I know people in the company who think that it’s just one of those things, and she’ll be back. Other people think that she’s gone and wants to go.”
Fightful Select has reported that Baker has more than a year remaining on her current AEW contract. However, she has not appeared on AEW television since the November 13, 2024, edition of Dynamite. After Baker defeated Penelope Ford, Serena Deeb came out to confront her. During this encounter, Baker was heard saying, "Nobody cares," multiple times into the camera.
