Jamie Hayter’s anticipated AEW return was postponed following an injury sustained during the AEW Double or Nothing event against Mercedes Mone. Despite initially indicating she was fine, Hayter experienced complications backstage and was ultimately not cleared to compete further, delaying her return to AEW action. This delay has impacted the original plans involving her comeback in the promotion.
Thekla’s AEW Debut Rescheduled After Hayter’s Setback
As Hayter faced an extended recovery, AEW expedited Thekla’s debut, which had not been finalized at the time of Double or Nothing. Reports confirmed that Thekla’s surprise appearance was arranged quickly to adjust for Hayter’s absence. During the event, Hayter creatively participated in a smoke-and-mirrors segment designed to seamlessly introduce Thekla to AEW audiences, showcasing her professionalism despite her injury.
Plans for Hayter and Thekla’s Future Rivalry Remain Intact
Long-term booking is expected to feature a rivalry between Hayter and Thekla once Hayter is medically cleared to return. AEW officials continue to support this storyline, ensuring that both wrestlers have a significant storyline upon Hayter’s eventual comeback. This feud is anticipated to be a key element of AEW’s women’s division moving forward.
