AEW Dynamite comes to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania tonight, and speculation is running wild about a possible return for hometown hero Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. The former AEW Women’s World Champion has been off television for months, leaving fans wondering when she’ll step back into the spotlight. With Dynamite taking place in her own city, many believe this could be the perfect stage for Baker to make a surprise comeback in front of a roaring Pittsburgh crowd. For those looking to tune in, check out our full How to Watch AEW Dynamite in Pittsburgh guide.
Britt Baker’s Last AEW Appearance
Fans have been waiting: Britt Baker’s absence from AEW television stretches back to late 2024. Her final televised match came on the November 13, 2024 episode of AEW Dynamite, where she faced Penelope Ford and won via submission using her signature Lockjaw maneuver.
After the match, she was confronted by Serena Deeb, leading into a tense moment that went unresolved.
Since then she has not been seen on AEW programming, which has only intensified speculation about her future with the company.
Tony Khan Teases Major Announcement Tonight on AEW Dynamite
Tonight’s episode of AEW Dynamite is already drawing buzz thanks to Tony Khan promising a major announcement. AEW has built a reputation around Khan using these moments to unveil new championships, signings, or special events, so fans are naturally curious about what’s in store.
The strongest rumor heading into the Pittsburgh show is the long-anticipated introduction of the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship, according to Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Adding women’s tag titles has been a talking point for years, and with AEW’s roster continuing to grow, the timing feels right.
For Britt Baker, this would be an ideal entry point back into the mix. As one of AEW’s most recognizable female stars, slotting her into the tournament for the inaugural belts would not only elevate the new titles but also give Baker fresh storylines after her extended absence. With the show taking place in her hometown, the stage is set for a surprise that could immediately generate excitement in both the arena and across the fanbase watching at home.
What to Watch For in Pittsburgh
With Britt Baker absent for nearly a year, Tony Khan promising another big reveal, and Dynamite set in Baker’s own backyard, tonight’s show feels primed for a memorable moment. Whether it’s the debut of the AEW Women’s Tag Team Championship or a surprise return, Pittsburgh could see a shift in AEW’s women’s division and all eyes will be on whether Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. steps back into the spotlight.
