8 Times AEW's Tony Khan Was A DISASTER-TIER Booker

Revisionist history is always a problem within wrestling fandom, but for AEW's opening few years, Britt Baker was one of AEW's biggest stars. Not unlike Rhea Ripley in WWE currently, the DMD would regularly receive one of the biggest pops of the show when she appeared. She was booked as one of the strongest members of the AEW roster, and she repaid that faith with electric promos and landscape-altering moments.

Since suffering two herniated discs, a torn hip labrum, and a mini-stroke in late 2023, she has since been dropped like a sack of potatoes. Rumours of backstage confrontation have lingered around Baker, but that's no excuse for her to be discarded so unceremoniously when she had built such a great reputation for herself through great mic work and memorable feuds with the likes of Thunder Rosa, Hikaru Shida, and Rhio.

It's true that her big comeback match against Mercedes Monet underwhelmed in a big way, but it's also a fact that she had been thrown into a match at Wembley Stadium after being given just two matches to find her groove after 10 months on the shelf. She's currently in the Tony Khan "we love her but you're never going to see her again" vortex of doom, and the proof of her worth will surely come when she inevitably signs with WWE as soon as she's able to.
