Britt Baker Reveals Why She Was Out Of Action So Long, Challenges Mercedes Moné To Match at AEW All In
Britt Baker shares her story.
After being absent since September 2023, former AEW Women’s World Champion Britt Baker made her return at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door. She made a surprise appearance, interrupting Mercedes Mone’s celebration after Mone won the NJPW STRONG Women’s Championship.
On the July 3 episode of AEW Dynamite, Baker spoke for the first time about her absence. She revealed she had been dealing with two herniated disks and a hip labrum injury. Baker also shared that she experienced a transient ischemic attack, which doctors warned could be a precursor to a stroke. She spent several days in the hospital but, after a few months of recovery, was cleared to return to the ring.
Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. shares what kept her away from #AEW.

Baker didn’t celebrate the news long. Moné came out and confronted her, with the two trading vicious shots at the other. In the end, Baker challenged the CEO to a matchup at All In London.
