AEW President Tony Khan explains the situation with Britt Baker being absent from television

Last week, it was reported by Bodyslam.net that Britt Baker is “actively seeking to part ways with AEW.” However, Fightful.com noted that every source they reached out to denied that Britt is trying to leave the company.

During a media call to promote the 2025 AEW All In: Texas PPV event, AEW President Tony Khan was asked about Britt’s status with the company and here was Khan’s response…

“I’ve never had a conversation about Britt departing AEW. I like Britt a lot. On a baseball team, you use nine players at a time. In the NFL, you can put 11 in at a time… Pro wrestling is unique because you can use a different number of people, but there is still only so many slots to fit into a show. We haven’t used everybody, and there are some really talented people on our bench that we can call in that would be a great part of the show. I absolutely think that applies to a number of women and men that are not necessarily being featured right now.”

“Britt is a great example of somebody that is very talented and we could utilize in AEW with the right situation and at the time. Just like in pro sports, when you have some really talented people that aren’t necessarily starting every game at that point doesn’t mean they won’t be starting in the future. It makes sense for me to look at the AEW roster like a sports team and trying to manage the minutes and rotation.” (quotes courtesy of SEScoops.com)
