Britt Baker Says Her Back Injury Is ‘Getting Worse’

Britt Baker has worked very hard to improve herself and become one of the best female wrestlers in AEW. Due to her status in AEW, it is not hard to see she has some pull backstage in the company. She has also put her body on the line for fans over the years, and now it seems Baker is still suffering from the effects of her injuries. In fact, Baker is currently suffering from a neck and back injury.

Fans who tuned into the first episode of AEW All Access were given an exclusive insight into Britt Baker’s physical condition. During the episode, Baker mentioned a pre-existing back injury that required regular treatment. This was filmed several weeks prior to Full Gear 2022.

While speaking with Connor Casey from ComicBook, Britt Baker provided an update on her injury. The doctor revealed that the situation has worsened, and she now experiences discomfort in her neck and back. Despite this setback, Baker will continue to wrestle in matches.

“I’m tough, so I’ll always find ways to work. My championship reign was with a broken wrist. So I’ll figure it out one way or another. You’ve got to work your way around it, sometimes maybe trick your body into thinking, ‘Eh, it doesn’t really hurt that bad.”’
