There has been much speculation regarding Britt Baker’s status with AEW since she hasn’t appeared on television since November.
As we previously reported here on eWn, Baker’s days on AEW programming may have already come to an end as Tony Khan is “fed up” with the former champion.
Khan is so annoyed by Baker that he prefers to spend his TV time on others and ignore the DMD.
Moreover, nobody wants Baker to return to programming. The former AEW Women’s World Champion is “wildly unpopular in the women’s locker room” and is reportedly territorial about her position in the women’s division.
On the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez discussed Baker’s situation, noting that she is under contract for “quite a while” and is simply not being utilized.
Meltzer said, “My basic impression is it’s a story that there’s a kernel of truth to some of it, but it got blown way out of proportion.”
Alvarez added, “Well, what happened is, I think that Wade Keller, on one of his shows, was talking about it. And it was one of those things where somebody wrote about what they heard him say, and then another site took that story and wrote a more dramatic headline, and then another site took that story and wrote an even more dramatic headline, and by like noon Pacific today, I was seeing these headlines, Britt Baker is done with AEW, Tony Khan will no longer use her. And he was like, what is happening here? So, if you talk to a lot of people in AEW, obviously Britt Baker is polarizing. There are people that don’t like Britt. The idea that nobody in the locker room likes Britt is absolutely not true. I talked to a lot of people today, and at the end of the day, she’s not being used right now, and most people don’t know why. Ultimately, it’s Tony’s decision whether she’s gonna be used or not. And nobody I talk to, and it’s a lot of people that talk to Tony. I mean, nobody said she’s not coming back. It’s not like she’s never going to be used again. Her contract goes for quite a while. It’s just she’s not being used right now, and that’s what the story is.”
