AEW Star Britt Baker’s Status: Dave Meltzer Addresses Recent Reports

One Big Thing

Dave Meltzer has addressed recent speculation about Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D.’s status with AEW, confirming she isn’t leaving the company despite ongoing backstage tensions.

Key Details

• Baker hasn’t appeared on AEW programming since November 2024
• Her last match was against Serena Deeb on the October 2 episode of Dynamite
• Reports of widespread locker room issues were “blown way out of proportion”

Direct Sources

It’s a story that there’s a kernel of truth to some of it, but it got blown way, way out of proportion,” Meltzer stated on Wrestling Observer Radio.

Why It Matters

Baker’s status is significant because:

• She’s been with AEW since its launch in 2019
• She’s a former AEW Women’s World Champion
• Her extended absence has sparked fan speculation about her future

By The Numbers

• 4+ months absent from AEW TV
• 1 reign as AEW Women’s World Champion
• 4 years with the company since its inception

The Bottom Line

While Baker remains under contract with AEW, her current absence appears to be a booking decision by Tony Khan rather than due to any major backstage issues.
