Wrestling Legend Blames Britt Baker for Cody Rhodes’ AEW Departure

As a long-time AEW enthusiast who has followed these wrestlers’ careers with bated breath, it’s intriguing to see how events have unfolded behind the scenes. The allegations against Britt Baker seem to be piling up like a pile driver on a TNT match!


All Elite Wrestling (AEW) celebrity, Britt Baker, has been under scrutiny lately as she is now being linked to WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes’ exit from the promotion. It was disclosed that Baker was embroiled in a backstage dispute with MJF and Alicia Atout after her comeback. This incident eventually led to her suspension within All Elite Wrestling, which some speculate may have contributed to Rhodes’ decision to leave.

The dispute broke out on the July 17th episode of Dynamite when Britt Baker made critical remarks about MJF and his girlfriend, Alicia Atout, in the women’s changing room. Atout then shared these comments with MJF, leading to a sequence of disagreements between the three parties. Will Ospreay attempted to calm things down as tensions escalated.

The tension escalated as disgruntled MJF lashed out by hitting a wall backstage. Following an HR probe, Baker was given a temporary ban, but she’s still visible on TV. She’s persistently at odds with Mercedes Mone, and both are slated to battle it out at All In, taking place later this month at Wembley Stadium.

More recently, wrestling icon Konnan suggested that Britt Baker’s actions played a role in Cody Rhodes leaving AEW in 2022. According to Konnan, Baker may have been instrumental in Rhodes deciding to part ways with the promotion. Despite Rhodes not publicly discussing his departure, Konnan’s comments could provide fresh insights into the circumstances surrounding his exit.

Konnan claims Britt Baker & Brandi Rhodes had issues in AEW

The predicament of AEW star Britt Baker appears to be escalating. Once a highly-regarded performer within the promotion, Baker has been drawing criticism following a clash with MJF offstage. Notably, wrestling icon Konnan has suggested that Baker’s behavior may have played a role in Cody Rhodes leaving AEW in 2022 and subsequently rejoining WWE.

In an appearance on the “Keepin’ it 100” podcast, Konnan implied that Baker may have been a factor in Cody Rhodes’ departure from AEW. He hinted at tension between Brandi Rhodes and Britt Baker, suggesting that this conflict could have contributed to Cody’s exit. Konnan said, “One of the reasons Cody left (amongst many) was due to problems between Brandi and Britt…Tony usually sides with her…you’ll learn the truth someday.”

For the first time, there’s speculation linking Baker and Rhodes with the previous non-association to his departure. It will be intriguing to observe whether either of them acknowledges Konnan’s assertion.
