Jamie Hayter Inching Closer To AEW Return After Over A Year On The Sidelines

Jamie Hayter has been out of action for over a year, with very few updates. Recently, there has been a slight update, but it still doesn’t provide a clear indication of when she will return to television.

Sean Ross Sapp reported on Fightful Select that Hayter was backstage at an AEW television event a few weeks ago when the roster was required to get physicals. Her injury was serious, so she still needs time. There is a bit of positive news about her eventual return.

“Fightful Select learned that Hayter was at an AEW Dynamite show in recent months when the roster had to show up for physicals. The feeling inside the company is that there has been some positive movement towards a potential recovery for Hayter. However, we’re not told where that stands as of right now, as her injury was a very serious one. When we asked within AEW, they did say that her appearance there was the most positive news towards a possible return that they’ve heard since she’s been sidelined, even though numerous talent who were off TV had to show up for those physicals.”

Hayter had been battling her injuries for well over a month before dropping the AEW Women’s Title at AEW Double or Nothing and had to get cleared ahead of that show in 2023. She has reportedly been keeping to herself and focusing on recovering from her injury.

Hayter worked through an injury to drop the AEW Women’s Title at AEW Double or Nothing. Shortly after, it became clear to All Elite Wrestling that Hayter would be unable to wrestle at AEW All In 2023. Then, it was evident that Hayter wouldn’t be wrestling for the rest of the year, and she was later sidelined indefinitely.

AEW talent reportedly haven’t heard much, if anything, about Hayter lately. Her being backstage has not been a regular occurrence, and she hasn’t been seen there since the physicals, with no general updates on her condition.

There has been at least some discussion about the possibility of her return this year. The most promising aspect is that there have been talent who have had matches pitched to them involving Hayter in the event she returns. Those close to her, and AEW, are confident that a return is in the cards.

We will have to wait and see if Jamie Hayter makes a return to television soon. In her absence, the AEW women’s division has certainly grown a lot. Sadly, Hayter hasn’t been around to mix it up with the roster as they break into a new era for the women’s division.
