Fightful Select has served up some tasty details about Britt Baker's AEW comeback at All In 2026 over the weekend, and it seems even All Elite's roster had next to no clue she was on the return trail.

According to the write up, Baker was still at home in Florida on Friday, but then talks began surfacing that she'd be involved in the Wembley Stadium show in some capacity on Saturday. Incredibly, Britt didn't actually fly into the UK until Sunday morning, and she was kept away from the building itself until the eleventh hour before her run-in spot.

On the pre-show, Baker showed up to help Persephone beat Maya World for the TBS Title.

Regarding her lengthy 2-year absence from AEW programming, Fightful said: "Things definitely picked up when the Rebel Heart Dynamite show was announced, but there had been a couple of overtures in the past and Baker had been open to returning". All In was deemed the ideal time to make that happen and bring her back to TV.

Sources close to Britt revealed that she was the one who took herself out of the picture in 2024. However, firm reasons haven't been disclosed. It's also worth noting that AEW recycled older t-shirts they already had in stock for Baker's return - that wasn't brand new merchandise the company sold following her appearance.

This was all hastily cobbled together then. The important thing, certainly from Britt's standpoint, is that she's back in the mix after an extended period on the outside looking in.
