The AEW women’s division has also been plagued by injuries over the past year, with Serena Deeb and Thunder Rosa just coming back to action in recent months, and the likes of Jamie Hayter and Britt Baker still waiting for clearance to return. Khan was able to give a brief update on Baker, who hasn’t been seen in AEW since September.

“Britt Baker’s been out,” Khan said. “She was injured and there’s a lot of times we have a lot of great wrestlers out injured. So I think this year will be great, not only for the great free agents, but also for some of the stars that have been side-lined coming back.” In 2024 alone, AEW fans have seen the in-ring debut of Mariah May after her signing in November 2023, the rise of Queen Aminata on both AEW and ROH television, and the debut of Deonna Purrazzo, who will challenge AEW Women’s World Champion Toni Storm for her crown at Revolution.

The AEW women’s division also looks set to get a major boost in the form of former WWE Superstar Sasha Banks, now known as Mercedes Mone, who has reportedly already signed a contract with AEW and is now waiting to make her grand entrance. That entrance could come at the upcoming Big Business “AEW Dynamite” special the company is hosting at the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts on March 13 if the number of teases on the event poster are to be believed.
