Ahead of challenging for the AEW Women's Title at All In next weekend, Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D is currently working "banged up".

Via Fightful Select, Sean Ross Sapp noted during a Q&A Mailbag how Baker is working hurt right now.

As SRS detailed when asked if Britt is injured:

"She has certainly been working banged up. I don't know what a specific injury is, or if there is a specific injury or if she's just hurt, but I can tell you, in my previous conversations with Britt Baker on camera, she takes a lot of pride in working through injuries and getting through situations like that. But a lot of people have noticed it."

No specifics were given on what issues are troubling Baker right now, though this past March saw the Role Model herself reveal how she was suffering with back and neck issues that were "getting worse" - adding how you "sometimes maybe trick your body into thinking, 'Eh, it doesn't really hurt that bad.'"

Next Sunday will see D.M.D. compete at All In in a four-way match for Hikaru Shida's AEW World Title; a four-way contest which will also feature Saraya and Toni Storm.

As alluded to, Britt Baker is no stranger to working hurt, with her having previously dealt with, amongst other things, a broken nose and a broken wrist during her tenure with AEW. Even when not medically cleared for in-ring action, Baker has managed to maintain a strong presence on AEW programming as one of the promotion's top stars.
