Top executive reveals plans for AEW star to face Mickie James

Kiera Hogan left IMPACT Wrestling and has been a regular on AEW ever since. Her final match was planned against Mickie James, according to Tommy Dreamer, producer and writer at IMPACT Wrestling.

Kiera and Tasha Steelz formed a formidable duo by the name of Fire 'N Flava. They captured the IMPACT Wrestling Knockouts Tag Team Championship twice in 2021.

The team broke up after Kiera announced that she's leaving IMPACT Wrestling. Since then, she has fought multiple times on AEW's YouTube shows. She even wrestled in the Women's Casino Battle Royale at All Out.

Tasha appeared on Tommy Dreamer’s House Of Hardcore podcast where Dreamer revealed that Kiera vs Mickie James was in the plans.

"Again, another ‘what if’; Kiera [Hogan], that was going to be — you [Tasha Steelz] would’ve had that match [against Mickie James] and it was going to be Kiera’s last match, would have been against Mickie, but didn’t happen and… so screw her for leaving [Dreamer jokingly said] and I hope she listens to this," Tommy Dreamer said.
