Britt Baker is just weeks away from having one of the biggest matches of her career when she faces Mercedes Mone in a TBS Championship match at AEW All In London II. Heading into this fight, Britt Baker has had some behind-the-scenes issues that have been making headlines for quite a while. As per the Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer, Britt Baker was suspended for several days due to her behind-the-scenes behavior.

Apparently, she had a problem with Alicia Atout, which led the disciplinary committee to act. The AEW wrestler was suspended for a week or two and fined by the company’s disciplinary committee. It all occurred due to some backstage heat behind the scenes on July 17 on Dynamite, where Baker allegedly said something about MJF. Alicia Atout, MJF’s girlfriend, heard it and told MJF about it all, who then confronted Baker. This led to an investigation by the human resources department as well as the disciplinary committee.

All Elite Wrestling is taking personal problems between talents very seriously. Especially because of what happened with CM Punk in the past and their backstage fights. First with several members of The Elite and later with Jack Perry. This entire ordeal finally led to her suspension. However, ever since, Britt Baker has been taking subtle jibes at Tony Khan and her promotion.

She did the same again recently on X as she took a shot at the Jacksonville-based promotion and the internet wrestling community for believing all the surrounding rumors. In her Tweet, she shared a picture that read, “You ever heard a rumour about yourself and actually wanted to hear more. Like no way…..what did I do next?!” She also tagged AEW to let them know that she was targeting them.

The suspension came after an already long break that was taken by the former AEW Women’s World Champion. This surely would’ve pissed her off since she had been looking forward to her return, only to get suspended due to the backstage incident. But why did Britt Baker take the break in the first place?

Britt Baker explains why she was absent from AEW for so long

Britt Baker was out of All Elite Wrestling’s programming for many months, although the reason was never entirely clear. The reports indicated that she wanted to be off television, but there were no details on whether she had any type of injury that would prevent her from doing so. After she made her comeback on Forbidden Door, it was finally revealed that she had been dealing with several serious issues.

On an episode of AEW Dynamite, Britt Baker spoke about the reasons why she had been out for so long. The DMD revealed that she suffered a transient ischemic attack. Something that is a warning sign of a stroke. Baker confirmed that she also had two herniated discs and a hip labral injury. After this, Britt Baker said that she was already recovered and was immediately confronted by Mercedes Mone. Baker challenged the double champion to a match in the AEW All-In PLE, which will finally take place on August 25, 2024, at Wembley Stadium in London, England. So, are you excited for the match?
