Britt Baker has been a major topic of discussion lately, with rumors that she may be done with AEW after not appearing for the promotion for months. While speaking to The Takedown on Sports Illustrated, Chris Jericho was asked about Britt Baker’s status in AEW and whether she might be leaving the company.
“I don’t see her leaving or going anywhere, and I’m looking forward to having her come back on the show because she has a great character and a great presence and, once again, a great fan base within AEW and within the wrestling world.”
Jericho added that Baker is an AEW ‘OG’ and highlighted the former Women’s World Champion as “one of our first homegrown stars.” Though it’s been reported that Baker is massively unpopular within AEW, a follow-up report said that this was an exaggeration.
Britt Baker has not appeared on AEW television since the November 13 episode of AEW Dynamite, where she defeated Penelope Ford and was confronted by Serena Deeb. Only time will tell when “The Doctor” will make her return, but Jericho remains confident that she will be back.
