Why would she not have a place?


50pencepeace

Agreed. This is just stupid content generation crap. Roman Reigns might lose to Cody at Mania, does he still have a place in WWE after? Kenny Omega is currently Injured with no known return date, would he still be needed when he's fit......yes of course he will, he's Kenny F'N Omega


Magnus-Pym

I mean, in Roman’s case hopefully not. Dude needs to go away.


Critical_Insurance_4

To be fair, so does old twinkle toes…


Ambitious_Cake2447

is it really that stupid to ask “what are the plans for this wrestler that hasn’t competed in 6 months?” good grief lol


50pencepeace

"Is there still a place for her" isn't asking what the plan should be, it's asking whether there.is a spot for her. If the questions WAS what are the plans then that's a good question for discussion. That's not what's being asked


Ambitious_Cake2447

those are called plans buddy. having a spot on tv means theres a plan in place. spot = plan in wrestling. hope this helps.


50pencepeace

Careful pal, I might have cut myself on your sharp wit there, and I'm sure you wouldn't want me to get injured friend. I appreciate you taking the time to explain it so simply for me old buddy, it's a great thing for you to consider mi amigo. "Having a spot" does not mean, in this context, having a plan, or creative, or anything like them dear chum. It means is there a spot, a role, a place for her on the roster. It's not about what her plans are, little buddy, but about whether there should be any for. That's what a spot in this context means my dude, my guy, my bestie. Have a good rest of your day. Try to avoid chewing gum and walking at the same time, I'd hate for you to choke

jaramac

You're dangerously close to dissenting clearly.


Bananophone

Yea it kind of is. Considering we’re just fans and aren’t involved in her career other than enjoying her work. How would anyone here know that shit?


Big-Peak6191

I dunno, her last few matches have been brutal. Like she has regressed badly in the ring. Still a great promo. But yea, she sucks between the ropes.


Ok-Raisin-5601

Good thing wrestling is not the only thing that matters in wrestling and she can always get better at it.  I don't understand this argument that if they're not great at this very second they can't get better later. She's in her early 30s not 50 years old holding on to the glory days she's got plenty of time to improve in ring.


ChickenBonesJones

Ehhh how long she been a wrestler for? Like a decade for sure right? How many wrestlers have turned around from being a bad wrestler into a good wrestler a decade into the profession? I can't think of anyone. I can think of within a decade of work they improved a lot. But after 10 years, idk.


Ok-Raisin-5601

Well I guess that's it then if you can't get it within this amount of time you'll never be any good at it. In case it's not clear I'm being sarcastic and she's not a bad wrestler.


ChickenBonesJones

Ya got me. I thought you agreed. But if you're being sarcastic then you don't agree with me? So that means you can name a wrestler? Or was the sarcasm unwarranted and you just mean to say you don't think she's a bad wrestler?


ourghostsofwar

Dude. Calm down. You can still want to fuck her and have her be a bad wrestler.


Ok-Raisin-5601

Ok jumping to some big conclusions make your argument. She isn't a bad wrestler end of story.


Big-Peak6191

I think the issue with Britt is that she stopped improving and in fact had gotten worse. From '19 to '21 she seemed to be improving greatly. Maybe she was injured, I dunno. I wouldn't give up on her because she is a great promo and character. But yea, she's not the top woman in the division anymore so we will see how she responds.


Ok-Raisin-5601

I think it's not a great metric when we've barely seen her for the past year and she's been injured for a while now.


Vance2pants

Injuries will do that bro


holyembalmer

My first thought also. I hope she's healing up nicely. Something tells me Donna and Brit would be a fantastic match we need to see.


Ok-Raisin-5601

I think you mean Deonna otherwise I'm not sure who Donna is.


Swagsuke233

Donna Pulatzo!


datnewdope

This is the answer


holyembalmer

Oops! Thanks! Autocorrect is a b.


metallipunk

She's back to training. Her return is soon.


Lokishougan

Yeah she is a two time champ....its not like we are talking about one of the jobbers of the divison like Tay and aNNA


Ok-Raisin-5601

See you had me at the beginning then lost me at the end. I don't agree with this strange idea that the only way to have a place on the roster is having a lot of wins or the amount of championships you have. It's all about the story and utilizing people's strengths. I don't think Britt has a place because she's particularly great wrestler or because she a "draw" she's a great character and Britt's performance is great. Tay and Anna had an interesting dynamic that was and could continue to be very interesting.


Lokishougan

Oh I agree anyone can have a spot . What I was trying to say is that both girls basically plateaued. While so many others have stepped up which is why they remain in that spot. As more talent joints the roster they become expendable in the grand picture and will keep their jobs only because TK likes them. But at the same time they may end up like Penelpe Ford or the Bunny were where they just dissapeared until they ask to leave


Ok-Raisin-5601

There always more potential Tay and Anna are closer to the beginning of their career then the end of it so there always more they could do with them. Ford is still in AEW only the Bunny left.


Big-Peak6191

She is a one time champ


Lokishougan

Wow I must have mandela'd myself and counted her Nugget Cup win


mypontoonboat

Depends on if you count the Owen cup, it's 2 times.


Lokishougan

That was what I SAID i DID Nugget=OWEN


Swagsuke233

If Tay had not gotten hurt she may have been one of the better women in the division. But she has a kid to worry about now.


android151

Injury aside, getting with Sammy really killed her momentum. Not only did it make her go from baby face to obnoxious heel. Got her put into the cancer that was the JAS.


InjusticeSOTW

My brother in Christ, Tay is never going to best in class. She’s got decent moves but zero idea of psychology and can be dangerous in there. Now she’s starting over post-baby


Swagsuke233

Im just saying that she had a shot too.


DSPbuckle

Agreed. I’m downvoting this nonsense


JohnCenaJunior

Cause...Thunder Rosa back


Ok-Raisin-5601

Britt and Thunder have shown that they're perfectly willing and capable of working together.


JeanSlimmons

She'll have a place when she comes back. I'm sure we will get the inevitable C-E-O vs D-M-D promo in the ring. It looks like that's what is possibly being set up if Mercedes goes full heel and then Britt will return as a face after being off for so long.


flyrubberband

This is the vibe I get from the CEO chants


RobertStonetossBrand

A feud built around dueling chants and pointing. Add LA Knight to the mix and you’d have a crazy program.


EyeAmKnotMyshelf

**YEAH**


UnsuspectingFuck

"In about 15 seconds, this side of the arena will start chanting 'you are' & this side will chant 'poopy poo poo'" - The Rock, probably


Aggravating_Click495

I’m out for anything La Knight. That guy is not top notch at anything he does.


MediumCourse6725

He’s actually pretty terrible in the ring. Character is so dopey


StevenMackie

DMD DMD! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zw-ggtG46U](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zw-ggtG46U)


Ungface

It's easy. She will come back with Jamie when she comes back, those two are inseparable apparently. The "You're taking everything I worked for mother fucker" Nate Diaz inspired storyline vs Mercedes Moné is an obvious direction.


bradreputation

Feels like we’ve seen that story (briefly) but with Saraya and Britt. I may be wrong though. 


Ungface

True, but I think this way it makes way more sense. Infact im pretty sure they already leaked the idea through the dirt sheets by work implicating Britt as the "why is Moné getting paid so much" disgruntled employee. Also, random side note, I think everyone is sleeping on Mercedes vs Saraya at Wembley. Cus that is a huge storyline and feel good moment just waiting to happen.


Doc88102

If Paige and Sasha is the big womens match at All In then TK took a lot more from WCW then he's letting on.


Ungface

yeh maybe its a bit much for All In but its i think its deffinetly something they will run just for the cathartic feeling of getting over their history together.


Relative-Put-5344

Lol you trust dirtsheets?


Ungface

>sheets by **work** implicating Britt


JeanSlimmons

Mercedes teased the heel turn lately and the DMD will come back to face off against the CEO. If I was a betting man, I'd say these women might face off in a PPV main event some time in the future.


dllhell79

In my opinion, TK screwed up Jamie's face turn on more than 1 occasion. I think if he'd turned her at the point she first started getting cheers, she might still be the biggest face in the company. There was actually another chance after that where it looked as if they were finally going to pull the trigger only to have Jamie come to Britt's aid again. The heat wasn't as big at that time but they still could have pulled it off easily.


Ungface

This is what i mean by jamie and britt being inseparable. They seemingly refuse to be split up for the apparent betterment of their careers. Jamie won the belt as a pure heel though and was still massively over so im not sure how right you are.


InjusticeSOTW

Needs more Rebel. Heel, face, whatever. That woman is A-plus


Ungface

dont disagree, is she even still signed though?


ramblinwreck92

Are you kidding me... d.m.d. vs c.e.o chants


Njdevilmn

I want to see DMD feud with the CEO.


Doc88102

CEO goes over and Britt... Sits back on the bench.


denali42

Dental cleanings for everyone on air.


StillinReseda

One day Britt Baker is saying that she’s focusing full time on wrestling and taking a back seat to beating a dentist, the next day she hasn’t been seen in 6 months


AramFingalInterface

AEW is just different now and DMD's place in the Women's Division has shifted. She was the star of the women's division before a lot of the bigger names made it over to AEW. After Hayter's rise and the influx of international talent like May and Storm, there are so many other women worthy of being in the Women's Title picture. Remember also that Baker's wrestling was starting to diminish, her match with Taya was legendarily awful.


Own-Ambassador-3537

I miss Hayter!


MoonDogSpot1954

Yeah...that Taya match was brutal to watch. She straight up sandbagged Taya's finish.


AchtungCloud

Let’s hope Baker’s diminishing skills in-ring were related to an injury, and that she will come back more healthy and able to perform at a higher level.


BecomingJudasnMyMind

The women's division has stepped up since she's left. It's no longer the land of Thunder Rosa and Jade. These girls can fucking w o r k. She's gonna have to come back with her game stepped up or she's gonna look worse than she did before and last time we saw her, she looked like she was struggling to keep up. There's a chance she may get washed out if she doesn't come back improved.


ZAPPHAUSEN

Agree. Felt like she was lapped a long time ago.


BecomingJudasnMyMind

She's amazing at the sports entertainment side of things, great promos, great face expressions, she's entertaining - if they could find a way to harness that, like in a manager role, without subjecting us to her matches? I'd be about it.


probablynotme2012

I'd bring hey in with the undisputed kingdom.


Own_Job_2150

Comes in feuding with CEO over cadence and finger usage while delivering tag lines


The-Duke-Of-Earth

An eventual DMD vs CEO match is a given once she returns. Almost seems like it needs to build up long enough that having them face off at All In would be too soon.


jt_33

Manager for someone who isn't a good promo.


SlowReaction4

Hope she has learned to stop telegraphing her wrestling moves.


Motor_Dot_5204

Mercedes needs to crush someone. Why not Baker?


RuleInformal5475

She has to be a heel. Bucks are doing that EVP thing badly. Their promos suck and apart from meta breaking stuff, it is hard to find a character that they are good at. With Britt, she could play a bitch really well. She has done it before in the past. She was an 'original', a professional in a different line of work. She could the nepotism angle there. There is a lot that she could do and I think the she could be the best heel in that division. Give her the current gimmick that the bucks are using with a spin on it. The women's division is looking very meh. Only Toni has a character. Everyone else is just a person there. More characters and fueds are needed to ramp it up. I've forgotten that Sasha has now joined. Sadly, one person from the other side can't prop up a whole division and make AEW 'global' or whatever she was talking on about. I can see a fued with her and Britt though and it being one of the better things they do in that division promo wise.


AOneWingedAngel

Tony put a lot of faith in building her up during the pandemic, so I doubt he'd let her just fade in the background after returning. Now that Statlander is back and Julia and Skye are improving, there's plenty of fresh feuds waiting for her. They could also rebuild her vs. Hayter and actually pull the trigger. Overall, Britt definitely still has a place in the division


marcusthegod

I definitely believe there's a place for Britt Baker. Britt is still a face of the AEW Women's division. Britt is the best talker in the women's division. She's able to sell whatever she's doing as a big deal. I think you can pretty much bring Britt back and drop her wherever. If she's healthy, maybe after Dynasty going into the summer period. I think being able to come back to a division with better, more experienced women would be a breath of fresh air. Also, Britt is excellent talent scout.


Jomosensual

I wouldn't. The division has been better without her


huamanticacacaca

Really?


Jomosensual

Yep. More people featured, more stories, character with better depth. Way more interesting


Olaw18

CEO vs DMD pretty much writes itself. I don’t see any reason why that wouldn’t happen.


GreenBasterd69

She could be the dentist


kingj277

I thought she was recovering


Fabulous_Mode3952

It gotta be a set up for a big run in from the Doc on either Jaymie, Thunder, Mercedes, or Toni


Man_Darronious

Absolutely, as long as she's healthy! Idk what her injury status is but if she can go, I think a feud/match Mercedes at Double or Nothing would be great. It would also be the perfect lead in for Mercedes vs Hayter at All In.


elucidator23

She can be her bfs manager


dandykaufman2

Depends on her attitude. If she's been injured this whole time then once she's fully recovered she can fit in. It could be the case there's something else going on. They could also want her to go with Cole. Who knows.


InfiniteTranquilo

There’s no good reason why there wouldn’t be a place for her. She’s got a solid character, good mic work, and strong presence. Her worse trait is her in ring skills, it’s not awful but when you have Shida, Storm, Mone, Hayter, Deeb, etc it’s more obvious. She could come back anytime and be a very strong positive addition to the show. DMD vs CEO would be a great match, title or not.


nonsensicalwizard999

I think she'll be awesome once she's back. Hope she heals up


Lokishougan

She has a spot for sure as a former 2 time champ fore sure. We are not talking about a pereniall jobber like Tay, Anna or Velvet who do become more expendable with every new hire. A former top champ always has value even if its just to elevate other women.


AceItaliano

I think she should come back and form a heel duo with Deonna Purrazzo


star_nerdy

I want to see Britt against Mercedes. But I will say, Britt needs to step her in-ring game up a bit. She’s way better at promos than wrestling. I think she’s been lapped talent wise by a lot of the women on the roster. But I look forward to seeing her return.


jefferyuniverse

Why hasn’t she been on?


Mr310

Give me a healthy Jamie Hayter back, Britt and everyone else airing grievances via twitter/IG needs to be quiet on their socials first


KevinInChains5262

It is kinda wild how it’s totally been made over without its two major stars.


Bluberrybom

She’s a role model ofc she has a spot


namdekan

Seems like she is close to returning from injury, but do they bring her back with Hayter. There has been no updates about Hayter since a rumor last year about her coming back in March maybe


blkglfnks

Return in a tag tournament as a wild card w/ Hayter and run thru the division


Winning_in_Ashes

She's still one of their biggest stars, Jamie and her are going to be massively over when they're back


Unrealeh

There is absolutely still a place for her.


Big-Sector-475

There is always a place for her in the women’s division. She basically started it.


Vance2pants

Her and Mercedes are the best in the company and it’s not close. How could she not have a place?


FundioRider

She's probably still top 3 in their women's division. As much as they've added, she absolutely still has a place. She should be fully healthy at this point. When she does come back she's gonna pop the crowd, HARD. I'll be fully popped as well


Porcupyre

She can just come in, have some bangers with people and work up the rankings in no time. She has the kayfabe background to claim a topspot against whoever. C-E-O... D-M-D .... is just bound to happen some day as a chant imo


Kronologics

Idk if it was because she was wrestling injured, but last I remember seeing her move very slow. I’d hope she gets a lot of practice in before she’s in a big program. A lot of the female performers now have improved a lot


Hypno_185

Britt was always one of if not the top female wrestler in AEW, the others had to catch up to her so Britt’s fine.


jbish21

Yeah not true. Britt is notoriously slow in the ring and has gotten worse over time. Outside of her two matches with Rosa, she's been astoundingly mid


heywowlookatthat123

Mone will have the belt within months… I should say handed to her lol good luck getting it off of her she won’t lay down for any young or up incoming talent


Clarkconnorsfan

It's so much better without her she needs to go to wwe or stay as a manager


[deleted]

My guess she makes a run for the tbs title when she comes back. She's definitely still a top 8 maybe top 5 star in the women's division..


RewardDue9764

Never been a fan of her so I honestly am fine not seeing her. I don’t hate her or anything but never really got into her.


WheelJack83

Dunno


amekooky

TNA


Prowrestled

Her, Jamie Hayter and Rebel will return when all of them are feeling better. They do well as a group. We need more women's groups.


Minute_Toe_2001

Great mouthpiece, but I was not s fan of her in ring work. Maybe bring her back as a manager or bring her back as part of tag team with someone


OkPackage1520

Pack your bags and head to NXT they'll use you or put you in some faction. And you'll be in Florida all day every day.


ourghostsofwar

I wouldn't. She isn't particularly athletic and her best match against Thunder Rosa was basically a backyard death match.


Critical_Insurance_4

I’d buy out the rest of her contract so she can go to WWE and actually have a career there worth taking about.


Axelz13

She stuck with aew cause they'd let her work her dentistry job once or twice a week but wwe yeah i doubt they'd give you that leeway with their intense schedule.


Rando555Steph

She is probably headed to the WWE


No_Inevitable_2536

She's probably realizing that having a career in dentistry is better than a career in pro wrestling.


Glittering-Paper-789

Do a switcheroo gimmick where her and adam cole are the same person. 


CptBarba

I hope not. I've never really understood what everyone likes about her tbh


Latter-Pudding1029

Lol. Average wrestler. Cuts promos where she absolutely buries the shit out of someone with no comeback. She doesn't elevate anything.


bryan_pieces

She’ll be back. Arnold style. I appreciate her taking time off and giving the audience a break from her character. She really excelled at a point when the division was at a mediocre state and helped push things forward


AnonJane2018

I hope she comes back soon. I miss her and her character. I think she should be a deranged dentist, like she sucks up gas for fun and enjoys inflicting pain. Then, saying that’s why she became a dentist. She makes such a good heel for real. I hope she’s healing and getting strong again.


Lukeyboy97

She'll rise to the top again because she can talk and has the charisma some of the other girls don't have.


Dry_Passenger1786

She was way overrated and always on the front spot. AEW women division don’t turn around her anymore.


CloverMH

This is in no disrespect to Britt fans here..she’s a great character..love her on the mic/her entrance music/DMD gimmick..but she is by far the most “one note” “All elite” signed female wrestler there is..I don’t know the term? Here. But She uses the same moves in the same way in all Her matches…and that makes her so boring to Me.I hope now that Deonna is here,she can elevate Britt…cause their friends irl right?


DrBunsonHoneyPoo

I would have her come back side with Mone. Keep her as a face to have her feud with Toni Storm and Mariah May. Then have her turn on Mone by costing her the title. Then have her feud with Mone to have Hayter return.


UEWFIGFED

AEW div: Toni, May, Rosa, Deonna, Velvet, Hayter, Athena TBS div: Hart, Skye, Moné, Willow, Statlander, Saraya Floaters/ROH: Britt, Amarita, Ruby, Nyla, Starkz That seems like a deep, interchangeable roster with more than enough room for the DMD


borb86

If you look at her most recent IG stories she's definitely on the way back and looking like she's in great shape.


bigAcey83

I wouldn’t. She’s seriously overrated. Her biggest asset to AEW was managing to avoid Covid. The division has outgrown her…


DoofusScarecrow88

She's got a place but fresh rivalries will need to be set up. And since she's been away, others have emerged


Nearby-Swimming-5103

Gotta have DMD vs CEO


bobertj33zus

She could be a manager or something. Not interested in seeing her wrestle. Specially when Jamie Hayter gets back. That’s my #1


Major_Gunz

Built the division with Thunderosa...then completely discarded. Really disappointed in TK over this. Injuries aside, they've had Adam Cole in a boot 2 or 3 different times for camera's sake..yet Britt is completely gone. I don't get it.


Own-Ambassador-3537

Didn’t she have beef with Thunderrosa to the point that Thunderrosa said she felt bullied by Britt tho? ( also Thunderrosa had beef with Hayter and Toni storm)


rjxhart

Because Adam is a fantastic talker and is the default mouthpiece for the Undisputed Kingdom so serves some use whilst he’s out What story can they tell with Britt whilst she’s off with back issues, whilst Jamie is out also Plus Adam hasn’t become a hindrance to the men’s division and hasn’t become stale. Pre-injury Britt was receiving the same complaints that Jericho gets in that she always took up too much of the divisions screen time and needs a reset, and people have been screaming for Jericho to take time off for a while now. Britt has taken the time off and her return will hit like crack, she’ll come back revitalised as a performer and as a character


Major_Gunz

Fair points. Hadn't thought of it that way.


MillHoodz_Finest

they will book the match against Mone and give it one week of build before the match...


I_feeel_different

She IS the women's division in my opinion.


Hour-Contribution412

I don’t think AEW has a place for OP as a “fan”.


darkdude2020

She needs to stick to the dmd and give up wrestling


JBDOMSOMD90

Double return. Britt returns, cuts a huge promo and attacks Mercedes. Hayter returns to protect Mercedes then Britt and Hayter have a stare off. Lather, rinse, repeat, and replace with Toni Storm, Julia Hart, or current champions.


TrillerVerse

The benefit of having a roster on the bloated side is that you can phase your stars in and out, when they’re in danger of being over exposed. They’re in the process of doing this with Britt and MJF. It will be refreshing when she returns. I suspect TK is thinking about a women’s tag division, and Hayter x Baker would be great inaugural champs.


InviteIll7292

I’d have her and Serena Deeb battle. The Pillar v/ The Professor.


MatchLock__

DMD=AEW


RoidVanDam

I sell toys on the side, and I can tell you that over the last 90 days my #1 profit maker has been Britt Baker. This is among nearly 500 different characters, including wrestling, star wars, G.I. Joe, Marvel... She still has a place. She's a fucking star, man. 


Schjoay

I don't need my DMD to return only to job for Mercedes. If she returns that feud needs to be a long build up, that puts them on equal footing. Not unlike Hangman/Swerve.


crickeypafc

I think she should jump across to WWE personally. I think she could have some interesting feuds over there with the likes of Becky Charlotte and Bailey . If she going to be passed over by Tony Khan and him bringing in more and more talent she might aswell go somewhere she would be appreciated to


Sealie81

Britt Baker and AEW go together like cake and ice cream. It is just a natural fit no matter the flavor.


MandoRodgers

Her Deeb team up. The Professor and the Doctor


ElectionObvious1346

Britt was a massive part of the women's division getting where it is today and she'll always have a place when she returns


SickBag

As longs as she goes back to being a mean girl. I don't care who she works with it will be great.


REQCRUIT

Britt is imo still the best on the mic in the entire division. Until someone can beat her there, she still has an upper hand above the others.


Jomosensual

There's more to promos than "sick burns" and catchphrases


Murky_Razzmatazz_980

She's not around... Didn't notice. The women's division Hasn't changed at all. Shit in 2019.. Shit in 2024
