Absent Former AEW Champion Appears At Huge Sporting Event

A former AEW champion not seen in quite some time has broken cover to appear publicly at a major sporting event.

As her absence from the company continues, it was recently highlighted that Britt Baker had removed all references to AEW on her social media accounts. However, as reported previously, she remains under contract with the company.

According to that report, Baker will be All Elite until the fall of 2026; however, with injury time added, she could stay with the promotion into 2027.

The former AEW Women’s World Champion has now been missing from television for 15 months, and no official explanation for that absence has been given. This has only added to speculation that Baker could be heading to WWE when her contractual situation allows. Although Tony Khan expects Baker back in his ring at some point in the future.

A fan noted that she and WWE’s Charlotte Flair had both been at the event, with Baker responding that the two stars tried to get a picture together but couldn’t make it happen. If they had, that would have only sent the rumour mill into overdrive regarding Baker’s wrestling future.
