Britt Baker On Her Absence From AEW After All In: I Lost, So I Went To The Back Of The Line

Britt Baker went to the back of the line.

At AEW All In, Mercedes Mone was able to successfully defend her TBS Championship against Britt Baker in a singles bout. Mone scored the pinfall victory after hitting Baker with a Mone Maker.

After All In, Britt Baker disappeared from AEW programming. On the September 21 edition of AEW Collision, it was announced that Baker would be making her return to AEW on the October 2 edition of Dynamite.

While speaking to TV Insider for a new interview, Baker explained her absence from TV as a case of her going to the back of the line.

“I guess in a lot of ways I can’t other than I lost, so back of the line. I can’t think of how many times I’ve said that to girls in my promos when I was champion. Back of the line. It’s a harsh reality when you’re in that position.”

Baker was then asked to look back on her match with Mone at All In.

“Mercedes is absolutely one of my role models. Someone I always dreamed of wrestling in the ring. I can’t lie. My experience working with her was awesome. She was so cool to me. She always treated me like her equal. Mercedes is iconic. She has done it all, wrestled everywhere. Her WWE matches I will study until the end of time. Ones I will always show to people getting into wrestling. The Bayley and Sasha Banks (Mercedes) TakeOver match, at one point I think I memorized the match from start to finish. I look at it as I got to share the ring with one of my idols. I hope it’s not the last time either. I’m thankful for the experience because a lot of people don’t get those opportunities. You get asked what your dream match all the time, but do you ever get to have it? A lot of people can’t say they have.”

Fightful will have coverage of Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite beginning at 8 p.m. EST.
