Photo: Britt Baker reunites with top AEW stars amid absence

Former AEW Women's Champion Britt Baker has been absent since last November. During her ongoing hiatus, Baker shared a social media glimpse of her reunion with two other All Elite names who have also been with the promotion for some time — Sammy Guevara and Tay Melo.

Britt Baker has not made a single appearance on All Elite Wrestling television so far in 2025, despite being a key part of the company's currently stacked women's division. Although explosive reports from earlier this year suggested that the former AEW Women's World Champion was unlikely to return due to her alleged backstage unpopularity and past conflicts, later updates on her contract have claimed that she will remain signed with AEW for a while longer.

Amid her ongoing absence from All Elite programming, Baker recently took to her Instagram story to share a photograph of herself alongside two fellow performers from the Jacksonville-based promotion—Sammy Guevara of The Sons of Texas and Tay Melo of TayJay, who, like Britt, have been with the company for years.

"Lobster pants [lobster emoji]", Baker captioned the story.

The Spanish God was last seen on AEW television during Collision: Fyter Fest, where he unsuccessfully competed in a four-way match for the ROH World TV Title. Melo, on the other hand, recently reunited with her longtime ally Anna Jay and scored a win over the formidable duo of Penelope Ford and Megan Bayne on Summer Blockbuster, despite being on the losing side of an 8-person tag match later, on the June 21 edition of Collision.

With the possibility of the AEW Women's Tag Team Championship being introduced looming in the background, Deonna Purrazzo was asked during a recent interview on the Lightweights podcast who she would like to team up with.

The Virtuosa responded by emphatically voicing Britt Baker's name, alluding to their real-life friendship and shared history in the pro wrestling industry.

"Yeah, I mean, I think the obvious answer is Britt Baker. That's like, you know, one of my other other good friends in real life, and like, again, I've talked about her a bunch already. Like someone I've trained and traveled with, and that came up together with. So I think that is the most logical answer for me," said Purrazzo.

Considering how Deonna's Vendetta ally Taya Valkyrie was recently seen accompanying Johnny TV and MxM Collection, it remains to be seen whether a partnership between Purrazzo and Baker could actually materialize.
