UPDATE: Britt Baker Not Currently Asking For Her AEW Release

Britt Baker’s time in AEW has been fraught in recent years, but despite rumours to the contrary, the former women's world champion is not believed to have asked for her release from the company.

Recent reports have suggested that Baker is determined to exit AEW, believing there is nothing left for her to do in the promotion, as well as having seemingly burned too many bridges in AEW. Follow-up reports from PWInsider and Fightful Select state that Baker has not asked for her release from AEW.

Fightful’s report states that some in AEW believe that the idea of Baker actively communicating that she wants out of the company is ‘news to them’, with Baker’s conduct - especially on social media - no different than usual.

Baker is believed to still have well over a year left on her AEW contract, and if injury time is factored in then the ‘DMD’ could be part of the company until 2027.

After spearheading the women’s division in AEW, Baker’s standing in AEW has drastically diminished, with allegations of difficult behaviour as well as reports of backstage altercations levelled at Baker. The former AEW Women’s World Champion only wrestled for AEW on five occasions in 2024, with her last match coming in November 2024.
