Persephone has teased that Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. could make an appearance for CMLL at Arena México on Friday, October 16, following comments the TBS Champion made backstage after a Viernes Espectacular match.
Persephone competed at the October 10 Viernes Espectacular, teaming with Reyna Isis in a two-out-of-three-falls match against Hera and Olympia. Hera and Olympia won the contest. CMLL published backstage remarks from Persephone after the show in which she told the crowd she would bring a “brave and intelligent D.M.D.” to the promotion’s next Friday night event at Arena México, a clear reference to Baker, who has held the Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. persona throughout her AEW run.
According to eWrestlingNews, Persephone also used her post-match comments to push back on criticism of her in-ring tactics and her handling of the TBS Championship, framing the tease of Baker’s arrival as part of a broader response to detractors rather than a standalone announcement.
No promotion has issued a formal confirmation that Baker will appear at the October 16 Arena México show, and the reports characterize the development as a tease from Persephone rather than a booked or guaranteed appearance. Any crossover would mark a notable moment for AEW talent working a CMLL date, given Baker’s standing as a former AEW Women’s World Champion and one of the promotion’s most recognizable stars since its launch.
Coverage of the story also arrived alongside unrelated notes on Mickie James and AEW All Out’s YouTube viewership performance, both of which were reported separately and are not tied to the Baker-CMLL situation.
Wrestling fans and outlets will be watching Arena México closely on October 16 to see whether Persephone’s tease translates into an actual appearance by Baker, which would represent a rare instance of AEW talent featured on a CMLL Friday night card. WAW will provide updates if either promotion confirms Baker’s involvement in the show.
