Tony Khan did an interview with Brandon Walker of Rasslin to promote AEW All In, where one of the bouts on the loaded card is Mercedes Mone defending the TBS Title against Britt Baker.
During the chat, Khan was asked about Baker’s suspension. A reported incident at the July 17th Dynamite happened, resulting in Baker being fined and suspended. The incident involved MJF, Baker, and Alicia Atout, where Baker allegedly called Atout a ‘Stupid f***ing b***’ because Alicia Atout told MJF that Baker was berating him, talking crap about MJF and Will Ospreay in the women’s locker room.
The argument resulted in MJF punching a wall before his hour-long match. AEW reportedly didn’t suspend MJF because HR saw it as MJF defending Atout and didn’t feel it should be punishable. Here are the highlights:
On Britt Baker’s suspension: “I mean, Britt Baker has been on the show just this week. I think Britt Baker is fantastic. So great having Dr. Britt Baker DMD back in AEW. She is facing the CEO at AEW All In…..It’s going to be a fantastic match. Mercedes vs. Britt is one of those dream matches that I’ve wanted to see for a long time before they worked in the same company. It’s one of those matches you never thought you’d get to see, and it’s happening at Wembley Stadium this Sunday, and it’s going to be a great match.”
On why he’s wearing a Max hat: “I was given this hat, and it’s a lovely hat. I think it’s a wonderful streaming service. And this hat was gifted to me in Paris as part of a great backpack of stuff I had in my hotel room when I got there for the Olympics. I spent great time there with Mr. David Zaslav and all the great people at Warner Bros. Discovery. They were very kind to us.”
