Former AEW Women’s Champion Britt Baker made her shocking return at AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door in New York. During the show, Mercedes Mone competed against Stephanie Vaquer in a winner-take-all match for both the AEW TBS and the NJPW Strong Women’s title.
Mone won the match with a cross-face submission, making Vaquer tap out. She made history as a double crown champion. However, her celebration was swiftly interrupted by Britt Baker. The two stared each other down, thrilling fans with anticipation for their upcoming dream matchup.
Following AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door, Tony Khan announced on Twitter that Baker will appear on Dynamite.
This marks Former AEW Women’s Champion’s first appearance on Dynamite since 2023. She had been sidelined due to an undisclosed injury since last September. With her return to AEW programming and her potential impact on the women’s division, anticipation is high for Dynamite to see what drama unfolds in Chicago.

Moreover, Mercedes Mone wasn’t happy when Britt Baker interrupted her historic win at AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door. During the post-show press conference, Mone mentioned that the latter attempted to steal her spotlight.
She stated, “I know a certain BI*^CH wanted to come out and try to steal my spotlight tonight. But that’s not gonna happen because I’m gonna party all night long and show her that I am Mercedes Mone for a reason, and there is a price to pay when you interrupt me. Tonight was about me and my celebration. Who the hell does Britt Baker think that she is? She wants to show up to my show? I understand that she is the first ever woman to sign here to AEW, but Tony, am I correct that I am the biggest free agent that you’ve ever signed here? (Tony Khan: “Yeah, absolutely.”) So this Wednesday at Dynamite, to any woman that wants to come out here and steal my spotlight, it’s on.”
After Mone reacted strongly, it seems that fans could witness a significant showdown between her and Baker on Dynamite. With AEW gearing up for their next major pay-per-view, All In, at Wembley stadium in London on August 25th, viewers are anticipating a potential match between the two at the iconic stadium.
