On Friday morning, it became known to wrestling fans via the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Dr. Britt Baker had been fined and suspended by AEW following an argument with MJF following Dynamite’s 250th episode. Precisely what happened isn’t clear, although it’s understood that Baker badmouthed MJF in the women’s locker room, and Alicia Atout, who is dating MJF, made him aware. And now, in what appears to be her addressing the situation, Baker has posted an Instagram Story saying, “Friendly reminder that you have zero control over how people perceive you, so you might as well just be the person you want to be anyway.” At present, Baker’s All In match with Mercedes Moné for the TBS Championship remains on as it is still listed on AEW’s website. Yet whether the booking will be changed given Baker’s conduct remains to be seen, as many anticipated a title switch due to Baker’s AEW original status and the fact she has fought back from a ministroke, making her a babyface in the eyes of fans. However, given the need to suspend her, it could now be seen as rewarding bad behavior if she is victorious.

It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for: Roman Reigns has finally returned to WWE at WWE SummerSlam 2024. His absence from the WWE ring, following his ‘Match of the Year’ candidate loss at WrestleMania XL against Cody Rhodes, is now a thing of the past. But let’s remember that WWE has seen some major changes since Reigns’ departure.

As it turns out, the internal expectation is now that the team is indeed departing AEW.
