Will Ospreay is returning to the UK this August to take part in AEW’s Forbidden Door pay-per-view event, where excitement will peak across the British wrestling scene. As part of the weekend’s activities, Ospreay has confirmed that Julia Hart and Skye Blue will make their Pro-Wrestling: EVE debuts on August 23, marking a significant moment for both wrestlers and the promotion.
Hart and Blue are among AEW’s fastest-rising female talents, representing the fresh wave of wrestlers from within the organization. Julia Hart, who previously held the TBS Championship, was sidelined due to an injury last May but now teams with Skye Blue to compete internationally. Their matches at Pro-Wrestling: EVE have yet to be announced, but Ospreay indicated that further news will be revealed soon.
AEW Stars Strengthening UK Wrestling Connections
Julia Hart and Skye Blue are not the first AEW competitors to join Pro-Wrestling: EVE events. Kris Statlander, a former TBS Champion, won the EVE International Championship on July 4 by defeating Anita Vaughan in a 20-minute match. Ospreay, known as The Aerial Assassin, publicly celebrated Statlander’s victory, reinforcing his commitment to supporting wrestlers linked to both AEW and the UK independent scene.
Despite Ospreay’s busy schedule, with a major tag team match at the upcoming All In event in Texas, he continues to champion his home country’s wrestling promotions and talent. This demonstrates his dedication to elevating the British wrestling community alongside his AEW career.
Upcoming AEW Events and Potential Impact
Neither Julia Hart nor Skye Blue is currently involved in a major storyline on AEW’s upcoming All In: Texas card, but both enjoy solid popularity. Their appearances at Pro-Wrestling: EVE could serve as a platform to build momentum toward future title opportunities when they return to AEW’s broader stage.
Given Will Ospreay’s influence and promotion of the UK wrestling scene, the AEW debuts of Hart and Blue in the British Isles are expected to raise their profiles and reinforce AEW’s growing international presence during a busy summer of events.
“Ospreay has long waved the banner for the UK independent scene, even after signing a massive contract with All Elite Wrestling. The British star has often expressed his love for the system he came up in, and even with his high-stakes tag team match coming up at All In: Texas, he’s still taking the time to promote his home country’s wrestling events.” —Anonymous Source
