The movement of wrestlers between AEW and WWE is often a topic of discussion, as both promotions vie to add each other's big names to their roster. Recently, rumors surfaced that AEW superstar Dr. Britt Baker might join WWE.
Sports News: It's common for stars in the wrestling world to switch from one company to another, but sometimes a web of rumors is spun around it to the point where it becomes difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood. Something similar happened with Dr. Britt Baker, a well-known female wrestler from AEW (All Elite Wrestling). After not appearing on television since November 2024, there was ongoing speculation that Baker might leave AEW and join WWE.
However, a recent solid report has put a stop to all these rumors. The popular wrestling website Fightful clarified in its report that Dr. Britt Baker will remain in AEW and has no intention of leaving.
The Rumors of Joining WWE Caused a Stir
Britt Baker hasn't been seen on any AEW shows since November of last year. After that, fans kept asking on social media where she had disappeared. Meanwhile, several rumors gained momentum that Baker might soon move to WWE. It was said that WWE was interested in signing her under a large contract.
Some people even claimed that Britt Baker was not happy with the AEW management and wanted to start anew in WWE. But according to Fightful's report, Baker never had any conversations about leaving AEW or going to WWE.
A Long Contract Was Signed in 2021
Britt Baker already has a long-term contract secured with AEW. The report stated that Baker signed a five-year contract with AEW in 2021, which will keep her with the company until 2026. In such a situation, her sudden move to WWE is almost impossible. All the sources Fightful spoke to said the same thing—Britt Baker is fully committed to AEW and the news of her leaving is merely a rumor. The AEW management also had no information that Baker wanted to leave the company, which makes it clear that all these discussions were baseless.
Why is Britt Baker Away From TV?
As for why she hasn't been seen on TV for the past few months, Fightful also added in its report that Britt Baker is on a break due to her health and personal reasons. Sources within AEW say that the company is planning to bring her back soon and her return will be done under a major storyline. This is good news for fans of Britt Baker, who is considered a big face of women's wrestling in AEW, that their favorite star is not going anywhere.
The exact date of Baker's return has not been decided, but according to insiders, she may be seen in an active role in some of AEW's next major events. The company wants to make her comeback a blockbuster so that the women's division can regain strength.
