Britt Baker just added more fuel to the speculation fire. The former AEW Women’s Champion took to Instagram on February 9, 2025, sharing a photo from the Madden Bowl in New Orleans, but one particular detail caught everyone’s attention—she was posing alongside Nikki and Brie Bella.
Baker’s AEW status has been a mystery, with reports swirling that she has no current creative plans in the company. WWE, on the other hand, has made it clear that they’d be very interested if she ever became available. Now, her run-in with The Bella Twins at one of the biggest sports and entertainment events of the year has fans speculating whether this was more than just a chance meeting.
The Madden Bowl brought together an A-list crowd ahead of Super Bowl LIX, with Chris Stapleton, Jelly Roll, Saweetie, Bijan Robinson, Dak Prescott, Miles Teller, Fred Warner, Tyjae Spears, and Jameis Winston among the celebrities in attendance. The event blended esports, music, and high-profile sports figures, making it the perfect setting for crossover moments—especially one that could have major wrestling implications.
Baker’s post didn’t include any caption hinting at future plans, but given Nikki’s recent Royal Rumble return and her tease that “Brie Mode” could be coming back soon, fans are wondering if Baker’s next move could be in WWE. While she’s remained silent on her AEW contract status, WWE has reportedly given a “resounding yes” when asked if they would sign her if she became available.
Back in September 2024, tensions between her and Mercedes Moné were reportedly a major point of contention behind the scenes in AEW, with some officials allegedly growing “over it” when it came to Baker’s backstage influence. Since then, she’s been kept off AEW programming, and despite rumors of an angle with Serena Deeb, nothing materialized.
With Nikki back in WWE and teasing more to come, could Baker be next? Was this just a casual run-in at a high-profile event, or the beginning of something bigger? Drop your thoughts in the comments.
