The Jamie Hayter AEW injury update continues to draw attention, as the former Women’s World Champion recently shared a new photo on social media while remaining absent from AEW programming. Hayter has not been seen for over a month, and speculation around her potential return remains unresolved as the company offers no official details.
Recent Hiatus and Uncertainty Surrounding Jamie Hayter
Jamie Hayter, once the AEW Women’s World Champion, disappeared from television shortly after her loss to Mercedes Moné in the Owen Hart Cup finals at Double or Nothing. Following this defeat, Hayter found herself the target of an attack by Thekla, who debuted at the event. The incident only deepened questions about Hayter’s status.
Fans noticed Hayter breaking her silence on Instagram, posting images from a new photo shoot that highlighted her signature retro style. Despite this, she has avoided addressing her AEW hiatus or sharing any updates about her health or future in the company. According to reports by Fightful Select, insiders revealed that Hayter would be a regular on television if she were physically ready, hinting that she remains sidelined due to health concerns.
The Storyline Behind Hayter’s Absence
Further insight surfaced regarding Hayter’s sudden exit following the attack by Thekla. Recently, wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer discussed the backstage reasons for the storyline during Wrestling Observer Radio. According to Meltzer, Hayter’s match with Mercedes Moné at Double or Nothing resulted in an injury, requiring her removal from AEW programming.
Meltzer described how the segment involving Thekla—also called The Toxic Spider—was intentionally written to allow Hayter to be taken off air, attributing the lack of any follow-up to her continued legitimate health issues.
“She was hurt in the Mercedes Moné match…When they did the Thekla injury angle, that was set up to cover for her injury and give her a storyline reason to be out. That was the reason it wasn’t followed up on, because she actually went into it hurt,” Meltzer said. [H/T – WrestlePurists]

The most recent developments suggest that the storyline with Thekla could set up a rivalry for Hayter’s eventual return to AEW.
Until new information arises, many fans will continue to watch for an official Jamie Hayter AEW injury update, eager to see if and when the ex-champion will make her in-ring comeback.
