A masked figure ripped the TBS Championship away from Maya World during The Buy In pre-show of AEW’s All In pay-per-view on Sunday, allowing Persephone to snatch the win and the title. The attacker then unmasked, revealing the former AEW Women’s World Champion Britt Baker, whose highly anticipated return nobody was supposed to see coming.
The Big Reveal That Fooled Everyone
Fans hadn’t seen Britt Baker in AEW action since November 2024, so her return was already a massive deal. What made it even wilder? The whole setup! AEW CEO Tony Khan actually teased Baker’s potential appearance at All In during a media call earlier in the week, calling her an “AEW original” who had competed at All In London before. He played it cool, telling everyone to “Stay tuned,” but then came the curveball. Just two days before the show, Fightful Select, thanks to Steve Carrier of Ringside News, dropped a report saying flat out, “Britt Baker is not in London.” Talk about a swerve! It’s crystal clear now that AEW went to extreme lengths to keep her return under wraps, making the surprise hit even harder.
A New Alliance and a Target Already Set
Persephone didn’t just win the TBS title, adding it to her CMLL Women’s Championship, she immediately solidified her alliance with Baker right after the match. These two didn’t waste a second making their intentions known either, quickly targeting Thunder Rosa in a backstage interview. Baker’s comeback isn’t just a one-off shocker; it injects a whole new level of drama and intrigue into the AEW women’s division. That division was already stacked with impressive talent and exciting storylines, but now? It’s just cranked up to eleven. Get ready, because things just got seriously interesting.
