Details on Dr. Britt Baker DMD's return and absence (Patreon)

Dr. Britt Baker DMD is back in All Elite Wrestling after nearly two years away.

Baker last wrestled in AEW in November 2024, before vanishing from AEW TV until AEW All In London 2026. There was a lot of speculation about how the return came together, and why she was gone, and Fightful Select has learned more.

On the Friday before AEW All In, Fightful Select noted that Baker was at home in Florida and the AEW roster hadn’t heard of her involvement in All In at that point. That was true, and she didn’t travel in with the rest of the roster. However, on Saturday, there was a lot of movement on her involvement in the show with people we spoke about. That day, word started to emerge that she could be involved. It was implied but not confirmed to us that this could have all been nailed down late.

AEW sources claimed that Baker didn’t even arrive in London until Sunday morning, and wasn’t at Wembley until after call time. 

Regarding her absence, Baker’s name has been brought up a number of times about a potential return. Those that we spoke to in AEW said things definitely picked up when the Rebel Heart Dynamite show was announced, but there had been a couple of overtures in the past and Baker had been open to returning, but it didn’t happen for whatever reason. Those close to Baker claimed that she actually took herself off the road in 2024, but we didn’t hear why. 

For those that naturally will say that AEW had merch ready for Baker's return, the shirts they promoted on social media were all the shirts she's had over the last number of years and were not new designs.
