Contract and Free Agency Thread: Andrade in Nick Khantanamo Bay

[Norrin Radd]

After days of swirling speculation, it appears that Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. is not preparing to walk away from AEW any time soon. A new report has clarified her standing with the company and effectively shut down the narrative that she has been seeking a release from her contract.

The buzz started after Baker posted a motivational quote on social media, which compared the value of a water bottle depending on where it is placed. Some fans took this as a cryptic message about her role in AEW, sparking online rumors that she was unhappy. However, Fightful Select has since reported that individuals close to Baker and within AEW were caught off guard by the speculation, saying it was “news to them” and insisting there has been no indication she is trying to leave.

Sources confirmed that Baker still has more than a year left on her AEW contract, and any injury-related extensions could keep her with the promotion through 2027. While there were internal talks about bringing her back for a major bout at Double or Nothing and an earlier match against Serena Deeb that never materialized, nothing indicates that she has asked for her release. Everyone Fightful spoke with “vehemently denied” any such claims.

She hasn’t been on tv in forever but we’re in the wrong to speculate

The exact same type of reports came out about Mariah May right before they let her go so I’m willing to bet she is actually on her way out but

The difference is people acknowledged that Mariah May was a good get for WWE and that she has talent whereas Dr. Britt Baker is injury prone and hasn't had a good wrestling match in like 5 years. I do think Dr. Britt is a pretty good talker so maybe if she's in a manager role that could be a thing.

Sonny Kiss SHOULD get squashed by Kenny Omega. You think this mf should have a competitive back-and-forth match with Kenny, who at the time was ramping up for his world title run? Nyla Rose was also coming out to CDQ during her entire run. She's another wrestler who is charismatic on Twitter/social media that cannot get themselves over on TV.

On top of all of this, you got a camp of people on here whining every Dynamite when the Hurt Syndicate, Will Ospreay, Hangman, MJF or whoever isn't squashing whatever mid-card act they're wrestling.

Okay...AEW is the same promotion that have randoms wrestling 30 minute clinics with "elite" wrestlers, but I digress

Don't want to offend diehard sickos that are under my living room.

I fukks with Sonny

It really doesn't take much for some posters to get offended or feel "attacked"... what happened to this board

"Joey Janela was the GOAT! TK fumbled..."

“Where’s Trench?”

Show was getting at least 900k during her & Nyla’s run

Raw was doing 3 million live + same day on US cable when Jinder was a top guy.

Now can’t even break 3 million on Netflix globally over 7 days.

Britt had her time in the sun. Her work in the ring and on the mic was good at a time, but since then plenty of women have surpassed her. She's gonna go to WWE and after the initial buzz wears off she'll tumble down the bottom of the card.

Put the toothpaste in the bag sis

And make it the sensitive teeth kind!
