Britt Baker, who has been a key figure in AEW’s women’s division since its inception, took a step back from the spotlight in 2023. In a recent interview with Ring the Belle, Baker explained her reduced role over the past year. She highlighted that she hadn’t held a championship in 2023 and had not wrestled since September. This change came after being one of the most pushed stars in the women’s division.

Baker mentioned that she pays close attention to the fans’ opinions and that many expressed a desire to see less of her on-screen. Embracing this feedback, she took a step back, allowing other women in the division to take the lead and become the face of the women’s division. However, Baker assured me that she was ready to step back in and take charge when the time was right.

When asked about her plans, Baker expressed her intention to find her place in what she described as a “new vibe, new era” of AEW. She remains patient and focused on significantly returning to the women’s division. Despite not being involved in the finish, Baker did challenge for the AEW Women’s World Championship in a four-way match at All In in 2023, and her last match was an unsuccessful challenge for the TBS Championship against Kris Statlander.
