Will Former Champion Britt Baker Make a Grand Appearance?

In a recent interaction with Denise Salcedo, the reigning AEW Women’s World Champion, Hikaru Shida, opened up about her forthcoming title defense at Wembley Stadium for AEW All In. More than the match, Shida expressed her earnest hope that former champion Britt Baker would grace the event. She stated, “I really hope Britt Baker is going to be there because… we are original. We are not friends, but I feel something special connecting with Britt Baker.” Shida emphasized the event’s significance, considering both she and Baker have been foundational members of AEW since its inception.

The article also highlighted Dr. Britt Baker’s historic victory over Hikaru Shida at AEW Double or Nothing in May 2021, where she ended Shida’s year-long title reign. At the upcoming AEW All In, Shida is set to defend her title in a fatal 4-way match against Toni Storm, Saraya, and an as-yet-undecided competitor. The event is scheduled for Sunday, August 27, and will be broadcast live on pay-per-view.
