Britt Baker returned to AEW at Forbidden Door 2024 following a 10-month hiatus and has promptly been placed in contention for the TBS Championship against dual titleholder Mercedes Mone.
On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, ECW legend Tommy Dreamer praised AEW’s decision to schedule the match between Mone and Baker, stating his belief that it represents their most lucrative matchup. He said,
“Putting these two women together is the biggest money match for the AEW women’s division you could possibly have right now. And it’s an easy layup how you go about it — honestly, war of the words. Britt Baker can talk. The woman is a great wrestler, but she can talk. She can will the people behind her, just like she’s willed the people to hate her. And Mercedes will have to listen to what she says. Because Britt can go on that microphone. The beauty of using social media after they had Lexi [Nair] come up to Britt Baker, and she said, ‘You know what, a lot of people want to know. I’m going to save it for Dynamite.’ A great little teaser to tell you to tune in, because I know I’m tuning in.“
Baker vs. Mone will likely take place at AEW All In 2024, although AEW has yet to make an official announcement about the matchup.
