Former AEW Women’s Champion Britt Baker has not appeared on AEW television since the November 13th episode of Dynamite. Since her return in 2024, she has only competed in five matches, sparking speculation about her future with the company. Although her AEW contract is said to extend for over another year, recent developments suggest growing tension between Baker and AEW.
On Tuesday, Britt Baker posted a story on Instagram that many fans believe is a subtle shot at AEW. The post featured a quote comparing the price of bottled water in various places, from $1 in a supermarket to $6 on a plane. Baker highlighted the line, “Same water. The only thing that changed its value was the place.”

BodySlam reported that Britt Baker is actively seeking to part ways with AEW. While AEW isn’t currently looking to grant her release, likely holding off until after upcoming WWE events in Pittsburgh and Evolution, sources say Baker feels the environment in AEW has shifted and that she no longer sees a future there.
“Britt Baker is actively seeking to part ways with AEW. This would align with what fans have speculated based on her recent social media activity. As things currently stand, AEW isn’t looking to release Baker from her contract. The internal belief is they don’t want any upcoming WWE Pittsburgh shows to be announced as well as Evolution to pass before letting anything move forward.
We’re told that Britt feels there’s nothing left keeping her in AEW, pointing to burned bridges and a sense that the environment has changed around her. Whether this ends with a quiet release or something louder, the door appears closer to shut than ever before.”
