Rumor about Britt Baker being “close” to leaving AEW for WWE gets shut down
In early 2025, there was speculation that AEW star Britt Baker “might be done” with the company following multiple issues. It was later claimed that Britt’s contract “goes for quite a while“ and she could still end up being used again.
Rumors about Britt resurfaced this week when former WWE personality Jonathan Coachman made the following claim about her during his podcast…
“Alright, so I just got this in real time. You guys know, I’ve just been breaking news left and right, and when it’s in context, I have yet to be wrong. So, I just found out there’s a name—a female name—out there that is this close to signing with WWE.”
“Gone from AEW—close. My sources keep coming to your boy! She is ready—she’s so ready. She’s got the built-in storyline, and she got buried because she pushed back. She spoke up about what was going on, and in wrestling, you know you can’t do that.” (quotes courtesy of RingsideNews.com)
According to Fightful.com, Britt has not left AEW and isn’t heading to WWE at this time. Britt reportedly signed a five-year deal in 2021 that would keep her under contract for at least another year – not including potential time being added due to injuries. It was also noted that haven’t been any recent talks between Britt and WWE.
