Since her comeback on television at Forbidden Door, Britt Baker has been a major topic of discussion for professional wrestling fans for several reasons. She not only got involved in a dream feud with Mercedes Mone, right away upon her return, but her personal life was also highlighted following split rumors with Adam Cole was also surfaced.
A couple of weeks ago, Dr. Britt Baker was reportedly suspended because it was believed that she instigated a backstage situation while throwing shade at MJF’s girlfriend, as well as AEW interviewer Alicia Atout. In opposition, MJF was reacting to her comments while he was also defending his girlfriend Alicia. This certainly put bad vibes on The Doctor of the AEW Women’s division but she will eventually return, next week in person on TV.
