Britt Baker in-ring return announced for AEW Dynamite Blood & Guts

A new match has been added to AEW Dynamite Blood & Guts.

It was announced on Collision that Hikaru Shida would face Britt Baker. After Shida won her match against Skye Blue due to referee stoppage, Shida said she still wanted to fight, and challenged Baker to a match. She said that she had broken Baker’s nose once before, and would do it again on Wednesday.

Baker’s match against Shida will mark her return to the ring for the first time since last fall, when she was sidelined with a number of injuries including an injured hip labrum, two herniated discs, and a mini-stroke. She returned at Forbidden Door last month and confronted Mercedes Mone, who has thus far refused the idea of defending her title against Baker at All In.

The updated AEW Dynamite Blood & Guts card for Wednesday, July 24:

  • Blood & Guts match: The Elite (Matt & Nick Jackson, Jack Perry, Kazuchika Okada and Hangman Page) vs. Team AEW (Swerve Strickland, Anthony Bowens, Max Caster, Darby Allin & Mark Briscoe)
