Former AEW champion sets sight on first victim after seven-month absence

An absent AEW star has made their presence felt once more, hinting at potentially going after a certain former AEW Women's World Champion. The tease took place just moments after the latter's match.

Julia Hart has been one of the top names in the promotion but hasn't been seen for some time now. Her last appearance was back in April at Dynasty, where she lost her TBS Championship to Willow Nightingale. She has been on a hiatus due to an injury that required surgery.

For a few weeks now, The Princess of the Black Throne has been making her presence felt by showcasing some ominous vignettes during shows. Coincidentally, she only did them during Jamie Hayter's segments, possibly hinting at Hayter being her first target.

Earlier tonight, Jamie Hayter faced Queen Aminata for an opportunity to qualify for the International Women’s Cup Four-Way at Wrestle Dynasty in January. After the British star took the win, the lights suddenly went out. Hayter was expecting Hart to come out, but this turned out to be simply a ruse and the possible beginning of some mind games between them.

The former AEW Women's World Champion is now waiting for the winner of Serena Deeb's match with Willow Nightingale next week on Collision for a chance to become the company's representative at Wrestle Dynasty.
