At AEW Forbidden Door, Britt Baker made a surprising return to AEW television, marking her first appearance since September last year. She followed this up with an emotional appearance on AEW Dynamite, where she revealed that she had suffered a mini-stroke. The legitimacy of Baker’s revelation has now been confirmed.
On the July 3 edition of AEW Beach Break, Britt Baker returned to the flagship show and was warmly welcomed by her longtime friend, Tony Schiavone, in the ring. During her heartfelt segment, Baker opened up about her extended absence, sharing the physical and mental challenges she faced. She recounted a harrowing experience where her entire right side temporarily stopped working, leading to a diagnosis of TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack), a serious health scare that she had initially tried to downplay. Ultimately, Baker realized she needed time to recover and informed Tony Khan of her decision to stay home and recuperate.
According to a report by PWInsider, Britt Baker’s account of suffering a mini-stroke is entirely legitimate and not part of any storyline.
“The story Britt Baker told about her suffering a mini-stroke in the wake of other injuries during her return promo on Dynamite is 100% legitimate, PWInsider.com is told.”
In addition to sharing her health struggles, Britt Baker also issued a challenge to Mercedes Moné for a match at AEW All In next month. Fans are eagerly anticipating how AEW will book their feud in the coming weeks, as Baker’s program has never generated more excitement.
