Well, folks, it seems Julia Hart took the “Fight for the Fallen” moniker literally—and creatively. After a near eight-month hiatus from in-ring competition, Hart made her grand return to AEW, facing Jamie Hayter in a match filled with chaos, cunning, and… an arrow?
Hayter, ever the powerhouse, started off with a series of bone-rattling clotheslines that made it clear she wasn’t buying into Hart’s spooky mystique. But Hart isn’t just back for the theatrics—she’s back with a game plan. That plan? Toss Hayter into steel steps and weather her opponent’s relentless attacks just long enough to turn the tide.
And then, in true Julia Hart fashion, the real magic happened. After teasing Hayter with a literal arrow (because why not?), Hart used the referee’s distraction to spray mist into Hayter’s eyes. One sneaky pinfall later, and Hart was back in the winner’s circle, much to the dismay of Hayter and the ringside medical staff who had to check her condition post-match.
This victory marks Hart’s first since losing the TBS Championship to Willow Nightingale back in April 2024. With her ominous reemergence, Hart has set her sights on a list of potential targets, including current TBS Champion Mercedes Moné. If her match against Hayter is any indication, AEW’s women’s division might need to keep their eyes open—and maybe invest in some goggles.
