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.
