Former AEW World Champion Reacts Following Major Announcement

AEW's Britt Baker, also absent, praised Darby Allin via Instagram for summiting Mount Everest and hoisting the AEW flag.

Britt Baker, a former AEW Women’s World Champion, recently took to Instagram to acknowledge fellow AEW wrestler Darby Allin’s successful summit of Mount Everest. Allin completed his ascent, which included planting an AEW flag at the peak, following approximately a month-long climb that commenced in mid-April 2025.

Commenting on Allin’s accomplishment, Baker posted, “This crazy MF just climbed Mount Everest.”

Darby Allin’s expedition to Mount Everest was originally planned for 2024 but was deferred to 2025 after he sustained a foot injury. His most recent appearance on AEW television was on an episode of Rampage over four months prior to his climb.

Britt Baker has also been absent from AEW programming for an extended period; her last televised match was against Penelope Ford on Dynamite in November, which was more than five months ago.
