Update On Britt Baker's AEW Status Ahead Of All In 2025

All Elite Wrestling are just days away from All In Texas, yet questions remain over Britt Baker’s status in the promotion.

The former AEW Women’s World Champion has been repeatedly linked with an exit from the company amid reports that AEW President Tony Khan has allegedly become ‘fed up enough’ with her conduct, but when asked about Baker’s current status during a pre-All In media call, Khan said the following about the ‘DMD’:

“I’ve never had a conversation about Britt departing AEW. I like Britt a lot. One of things we’ve done really well with AEW is build a tight focused show around a really strong roster and it’s been very consistent. I think we’ve had a very good year of pay-per-view and TV. Absolutely, there have been some people that have not been featured. We have a great group of wrestlers that have no necessarily been on the show a lot that are very talented that we would like to work back in when the opportunity presents it. On a baseball team, you use nine players at a time. In the NFL, you can put 11 in at a time and rotate across the snaps, but each play is only 11 players. NBA or college basketball is five-on-five. Pro wrestling is unique because you can use a different number of people, but there is still only so many slots to fit into a show.

“We’ve done a great job using a lot of the roster this year. We haven’t used everybody, and there are some really talented people on our bench that we can call in that would be a great part of the show. I absolutely think that applies to a number of women and men that are not necessarily being featured right now that we could bring in that could be a great focus on the show as those spots open up and the timing is right to integrate different people into the show. Just like you make substitutions with a sports team. One thing we’ve done very well this year is not try to force everybody on the show every week. What we have had is a really well paced, excellent television show week in and week out with a really focused crew. I really want to continue that. Britt is a great example of somebody that is very talented and we could utilise in AEW with the right situation and at the right time. Just like in pro sports, when you have some really talented people that aren’t necessarily starting every game at that point doesn’t mean they won’t be starting in the future. It makes sense for me to look at the AEW roster like a sports team and trying to manage the minutes and rotation. We’ve done a good job with the people we’re focusing on right now, but that doesn’t mean we can’t focus on other people or rotate different people in going forward,” said Khan.

Baker last competed in an AEW ring in November 2024 with a win over Penelope Ford.
