It has been nearly two years since All Elite Wrestling (AEW) fans were graced with Britt Baker’s presence on the company’s programming. On Sunday, Baker made her triumphant return.
Maya World was in the midst of her match against Persephone with the TBS Championship on the line during the All In Buy In portion of the company’s biggest pay-per-view of the year. World looked like she was going to take care of Persephone once and for all, until a masked figure entered the ring and pushed World off the top rope.

“It’s so good to be back,” Baker said in a post-match interview. “And just because I haven’t been here doesn’t mean I haven’t been watching. I know what goes around here. I know who’s up, I know who’s down and I know who is a little too comfortable that I’ve been out of the picture.

Persephone then called out Thunder Rosa, who has been at her heels trying to get her hands on the Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) World Women’s Championship. Now, Persephone has a superstar in her corner as she continues to rise in the AEW women’s division.
