AEW fans last saw Britt Baker in November 2024, when she defeated Penelope Ford on “AEW Dynamite.” Afterward, Serena Deeb seemed to be next in line for Baker when she appeared on the entrance ramp, only for Baker to then shoot her down with repeated claims of “nobody cares.”
Since then, a number of reports on Baker’s AEW status have circulated, with one suggesting that the former AEW Women’s Champion was actively looking to leave AEW. A follow-up report indicated that sources close to Baker were denying that to be the case. Her current AEW contract is expected to run through sometime in 2026, with injury time potentially extending it into 2027.
“What a great star in AEW Dr. Britt Baker has been and she is still a fantastic wrestling star,” Khan said. “She’s been away from AEW for a while, but still very much with us. At some point, hopefully soon, I’d love to see Dr. Britt Baker come back.”
Regarding Chris Jericho, who is reportedly signed with AEW through 2025, Khan is keeping the door open for his return. Still, that hasn’t stopped the chatter about him potentially re-joining WWE instead at the turn of the new year.
“Chris Jericho, talk about one of the founding figures in AEW, the very first AEW Champion. We’re so grateful to Chris Jericho,” Khan said. “Chris Jericho is somebody also that I would love to see back in AEW anytime. The door is always open to get Chris Jericho back in here. He’s been busy. He’s doing a lot of things. Speaking of somebody that’s very busy with projects, including filming and music, and somebody we have a ton of respect for, Chris Jericho is somebody else we’d love to see anytime in AEW.”
