Report: Britt Baker Gone From AEW TV After Tony Khan Becomes 'Fed Up Enough'

Tony Khan has become so fed up with Britt Baker that she is currently not being booked on All Elite Wrestling TV, according to a report from PWTorch's Wade Keller on his hotline.

Keller stated there is a lot of frustration with Baker in AEW and she has allegedly become increasingly difficult to work with. There was reportedly another minor incident in recent months that became the "straw that broke the camel's back" for AEW deciding not to book the former women's world champion.

"She might be done with AEW. At least the feeling I'm getting from talking to people in AEW is Tony Khan might have her in the same category as some other wrestlers where they just don't get phone calls and don't get called in to show up. There is a lot of frustration with her. I'm told - and I've heard this pretty consistently - she's wildly unpopular in the women's locker room. One person said no one ever wants to see her come back, speaking of the women's locker room. Now, that is a bold broad statement. I could imagine somebody on social media going, 'I am a women's wrestler in AEW and I want her back.' Okay, fair enough, but I'm just telling you somebody's perception is nobody wants her back. That's how bad it is, somebody is willing to tell me that," Keller began.

"There was the incident with her and MJF and I'm told that factors into her being off television, but there are other issues with her that have come up. She has become increasingly difficult to work with in a general sense. She has always had a reputation for being difficult to work with. There was a specific situation recently not counting the MJF situation where people just threw their hands up…It wasn't like a huge deal but it was enough to sort of be the straw that broke the camel's back in terms of just feeling like, 'You know what? We've got a strong women's division now compared to when she was on top and we don't need to deal with her if she's going to be this difficult to work with.' So that’s where they are with her," he continued.

"I am told the Adam Cole situation is not stopping her. There should be no heat on Adam Cole, he has nothing to do with her not being on TV...Obviously, she had some standout moments in AEW and became a star and was seen as a centrepiece act, but even back then I was hearing about her reputation and being unpopular in certain circles, and difficult to work with, and being fiercely territorial of her role in the company in a way that just felt unsustainable. And from what I'm hearing, at least the attitude right now at the moment, the belief is Tony Khan is fed up enough that he's just gonna focus his TV time on others. I don't know what that means in terms of her pay and her contract and it's possible eventually things will change...At this point in asking around, you should not expect to see her back imminently." 

Britt Baker is an AEW original and she was the first female talent signed by the promotion. She has not wrestled on AEW TV since a November 13, 2024 match against Penelope Ford. Serena Deeb confronted Baker after the match, during which Britt repeatedly said that "nobody cares."

The former AEW Women's World Champion stated in December on Diamond Dallas Page's YouTube channel that she was busy "filming some fun stuff."
