During the latest edition of the Fightful Select Answers Q&A, Sean Ross Sapp addressed a fan’s question regarding former AEW Women’s World Defending champion Britt Baker, who has not surfaced on AEW programming since 2024.
Sapp mentioned that he hasn’t heard anything about Baker being sidelined due to an physical issue. Nevertheless, he did note that her name was mentioned in connection with the forthcoming tribute show for Rebel. Building on that, beyond that, Sapp has not received any further updates about Baker. As she put pen to paper a new five-year contract with AEW in 2021, it is likely that Baker’s reigning AEW pact will run at least until the fall of 2026. Additionally, there is moreover a possibility that AEW could extend her contract due to the time she has missed on account of injuries.
In real life, Baker’s friend and long-time tag team partner, Rebel, is currently battling ALS. Within the past few days, Baker and Rebel reunited to produce a new edition of their classic Waiting Room video. The AEW Rebel Heart Dynamite special is penciled in to take place on Wednesday, September 9th, at the Akins Ford Facility in Athens, Georgia. On a related note, as of now, the company has not officially announced Baker for the event.
