Britt Baker Voices Frustration Over Limited Promo Time in AEW

AEW’s Britt Baker Expresses Discontent with Her On-Air Presence

Summary

– Britt Baker, AEW’s first female signing, laments her lack of live promo time in 2023.

– Baker has been notably absent from recent AEW Dynamite episodes despite her significant role in the women’s division.

– Baker points out the disparity in promo time allocation, comparing her zero minutes to the extensive airtime given to male wrestlers.

Britt Baker, a pivotal figure in AEW’s women’s division and the company’s first female signing other than Brandi Rhodes, recently expressed her dissatisfaction with her current role in AEW. Despite her popularity and the significant part she played during the pandemic, Baker has recently been conspicuously absent from AEW Dynamite.

In a recent post, Baker highlighted the stark contrast in promo time allocation between herself and male wrestlers. She pointed out that while MJF and Christian Cage received substantial live promo time on a recent AEW Dynamite episode, she has yet to have any live promo time throughout all of 2023. This lack of on-air presence is a stark departure from her earlier days in AEW, where she was a regular feature on the show.

Baker’s frustration is indicative of a broader issue within AEW, particularly regarding the representation and utilization of female talent. Her post raises questions about the opportunities given to women wrestlers in terms of promo and match time. Aside from a TBS title match and a brief backstage segment with Toni Storm, the women’s roster had limited visibility on the same AEW Dynamite episode.

As 2023 draws to a close, whether Britt Baker will receive more opportunities to showcase her promo skills remains to be seen. Her situation reflects AEW’s challenge in balancing screen time and storylines among its diverse roster.
