Former AEW Champion teases huge in-ring return after seven months

A former AEW champion has teased a potential return to the ring on social media.

Britt Baker was one of the pillars of All Elite Wrestling's women's division during the initial days of the Jacksonville-based promotion. She appeared regularly on TV and played her part well, making her one of the most popular stars on the roster and in women's wrestling. The 32-year-old quickly climbed up the ladder and became the Women's World Champion at Double or Nothing in 2021.

However, DMD has been absent from All Elite Wrestling television for several months. Her last televised match came on an episode of Collision in September last year, where she faced Kris Statlander for the AEW TBS Championship. Recently, Britt Baker took to social media to post a gif from one of her matches against Ruby Soho and Toni Storm, indicating that she might be teasing a return to the ring soon.
