Following an incident backstage at the July 17 episode of AEW Dynamite, Britt Baker was reportedly issued with a fine and suspension.
Britt Baker made her return at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door on June 30, 2024, appearing after Mercedes Mone defeated Stephanie Vaquer.
She had her first match since September 2023, facing Hikaru Shida on the Blood & Guts episode of AEW Dynamite on July 24.
However, Dave Meltzer has revealed that Baker has been suspended following comments made about MJF backstage on July 17.
Writing in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Meltzer revealed the known details of the investigation and punishment, writing:
“Britt Baker was suspended for either one or two weeks and fined by the company’s disciplinary committee.
“Details have been kept pretty quiet. It came from something backstage at the 7/17 Dynamite where Baker allegedly said something about MJF and Alicia Atout, MJF’s girlfriend heard it and told him and he confronted Baker.
“This led to an investigation with HR talking to people on 7/24 and I believe the disciplinary committee that did the investigation recommended that.
“I don’t know if Tony Khan was or wasn’t involved in this and everyone was attempting to keep this under wraps.
“This all stems from problems in the past that weren’t addressed and a committee was put together to settle these things quickly. Most of those we heard from were sympathetic to her in this situation.”
