AEW star Britt Baker is facing significant backlash following accusations that she played a role in WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes’ exit from the promotion. Recently, reports emerged of a backstage altercation involving Baker, MJF, and Alicia Atout after her recent return to the ring, which ultimately led to her suspension from All Elite Wrestling.
The altercation reportedly erupted during the July 17 episode of Dynamite when Baker made critical comments about MJF and Atout in the women’s locker room. These remarks were relayed to MJF, igniting confrontations among the trio. Will Ospreay intervened in an attempt to quell the rising tensions.
The situation escalated, leading to a frustrated MJF punching a wall backstage. Although Baker received a short suspension following an HR investigation, she remains active on television, continuing her feud with Mercedes Mone, with both set to compete at All In at Wembley Stadium later this month.
Wrestling legend Konnan has recently alleged that Baker’s actions were partially responsible for Rhodes’ departure from AEW in 2022. While Rhodes has kept quiet about his exit, Konnan’s comments shed new light on the circumstances surrounding it.
Konnan Links Britt Baker to Cody Rhodes’ Departure
The scrutiny surrounding AEW star Britt Baker intensifies as Konnan claims her actions contributed to Cody Rhodes’ exit from the promotion. During a segment on the “Keepin’ it 100” podcast, Konnan suggested that past conflicts between Brandi Rhodes and Britt Baker were factors in Cody’s departure. He stated, “One of the reasons that Cody left amongst many was there were problems between Brandi and Britt….Tony always takes her side….you’ll find out one day.”
This marks the first time that Baker and Rhodes have been connected in relation to his departure, raising questions about potential future responses from either party regarding Konnan’s claims.
