Ladies and gents, gather ’round for the latest on AEW’s elusive former Women’s World Champion, Jamie Hayter! In a world where wrestlers bounce back from injuries faster than a cat on a hot tin roof, Hayter’s prolonged absence has fans and foes alike scratching their heads.
Since her last appearance at the 2023 Double or Nothing pay-per-view – where she handed over the AEW Women’s World Championship to Toni Storm – Hayter has been MIA. Rumor has it, she fought through an injury to compete that night. Talk about dedication! But now, over a year has passed, and there’s still no concrete news on what sidelined her or when she might return to the ring.
Enter Fightful Select, our trusty wrestling grapevine. While their latest report didn’t exactly ring the bells of triumph, it did sprinkle a little hope. Apparently, Hayter was spotted backstage at a recent “AEW Dynamite” episode, which is like seeing a unicorn in the wild! The roster was there for their annual physicals, and even though the talents not featured on TV had to show up, this sighting sparked whispers of a possible comeback.
Insiders hint at “some positive movement towards a potential recovery for Hayter.” The optimism doesn’t stop there – her name has been tossed around in match pitches, just in case she gets the green light. It’s like everyone’s secretly hoping for the second coming of Jamie Hayter!
Despite being a backstage recluse during her recovery, Hayter’s sporadic appearances fuel the mystery. There’s chatter she could return by the end of 2024, but no one’s placing bets just yet. Still, the folks at AEW are crossing their fingers and holding their breath, confident she’ll make her grand reentrance eventually.
So, keep your eyes peeled and your popcorn ready, wrestling fans. Jamie Hayter’s comeback could be the plot twist we’ve all been waiting for!
