The wrestling world was left buzzing with the long-awaited return of Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D., at last week’s AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door event. Baker made a dramatic entrance at the conclusion of Mercedes Moné and Stephanie Vaquer’s match, seemingly upstaging Moné’s monumental victory, which saw her crowned both the AEW TBS and NJPW Strong Women’s Champion.
On the July 3 edition of AEW Beach Break, Britt Baker made her first appearance on the flagship show since last year. Greeted warmly by her long-time friend Tony Schiavone in the ring, Baker addressed her prolonged absence, revealing that she had been physically and mentally unfit to return. She recounted the harrowing experience of her entire right side not working and being diagnosed with a TIA (transient ischemic attack), a major health scare that she had initially tried to downplay.
With her health now fully restored, Baker admitted feeling nervous about her return at Forbidden Door. Turning her attention to Mercedes Moné, who she upstaged at the event, Baker addressed the crowd just as Moné was seen arriving outside the arena, preparing for her championship victory celebration.
The tension between The CEO and The D.M.D. escalated into a heated verbal exchange, culminating in Britt Baker challenging Mercedes Moné to a match at AEW All In. The segment ended on a high note, with the palpable tension setting the stage for an epic showdown between the two wrestling powerhouses.
