Further details on All Elite Wrestling suspending Britt Baker have been revealed.
According to Fightful Select, Baker "exercised frustration about MJF within the women's locker room." Word then got back to MJF about the comments as Friedman's girlfriend, Alicia Atout, was in the room. Fightful noted details are currently "he said she said" but what followed were confrontations between Alicia Atout and Britt Baker, and MJF and Britt Baker. Baker was also said to be unhappy about Atout telling MJF about her comments in the locker room.
It is also believed that Will Ospreay spoke with Britt Baker at one point, although details of their interaction are unknown. Britt Baker and MJF were previously close friends but they had a falling out at some point in the last year.
Following the confrontation, AEW HR got involved and Baker was suspended after an investigation spoke to numerous members of the roster.
The suspension will not affect All Elite Wrestling's plans for All In and Britt Baker is still planned to challenge Mercedes Moné for the TBS Championship at the event.
Britt Baker has only been back on AEW TV for a month, having returned at Forbidden Door after close to a year out of action. Alicia Atout, meanwhile, only signed with AEW earlier this Summer, making her first on-screen appearance at the beginning of June.
