“We do want her back!”- Fans go berserk as WWE veteran urges Tony Khan to bring back major name

A WWE veteran stirred up fan reactions online after urging Tony Khan to bring back a top name in AEW.

Britt Baker is a prominent AEW star who has not been seen on television programming since November last year. Baker, who is a former Women's World Champion in the Jacksonville-based promotion, is credited as being the face of the women's division during the early years of the company. However, her presence has been declining ever since her absence, coupled with reports that she wanted a way out from All Elite Wrestling, and rumors that she might be joining WWE. Baker's name recently made news through WWE veteran Diamond Dallas Page.

DDP took to X/Twitter and asked Tony Khan about Baker's whereabouts. In his post, he mentioned how the D.M.D. has been in top physical condition and ready for her return to the Jacksonville-based promotion.

"Yo Tony [Khan], when are you bringing back @RealBrittBaker [Britt Baker]? Rumor has it she's been staying in peak physical condition and is ready to make her return. She's ready and so are the fans. 👊💎, " DDP wrote.

The post quickly caught the attention of fans, with the majority of them echoing DDP's sentiments, wanting to see Baker back in action in AEW. Although some were also of the opinion that she should leave Tony Khan's promotion.

"We do want her back," wrote one fan.

"WE’RE ALL READY FOR THE DMD RETURN, TONY," quipped another.
