Tensions have escalated backstage in AEW, with the American Champion MJF at the centre of controversy following a heated confrontation with Britt Baker.
The conflict began when Britt Baker made comments about MJF and his girlfriend, Alicia Atout, in the women’s locker room. Atout relayed these remarks to MJF, leading to a series of confrontations involving MJF, Baker, and Atout.
Despite the internal conflict and a brief suspension for Britt Baker due to an HR investigation, she continued to appear on television except for last week, when her suspension was acknowledged by Mercedes Mone.
Amidst the controversy that prevailed, Britt Baker took to her X to drop a cryptic message. She posted a picture whose text indicated that people were implying that Baker wanted to hear rumours about her, despite having no such intentions.
“You ever heard a rumour about yourself and actually wanted to hear more. Like no way … What did I do next?”
As AEW navigates these internal conflicts, the hope is for improved professionalism and a more harmonious backstage atmosphere. Moreover, we will have to wait and see when Britt Baker will make her return to AEW television programming as her TBS title match with Mercedes Mone approaches in three weeks at AEW All In.
