Julia Hart Returns to Targets Jamie Hayter on 12/14 AEW Collision

AEW fans got a memorable moment on the December 14th episode of AEW Collision as Julia Hart made her long-awaited return to television. The Chaifetz Arena crowd was stunned when the lights went out mid-show, and when they came back on, Hart was in the ring, wasting no time delivering a hammerlock DDT to Jamie Hayter.

The moment was as dramatic as it was impactful, marking Hart’s first appearance since April when she lost the AEW TBS Championship to Willow Nightingale at AEW Dynasty. Tony Schiavone pointed out the poetic symmetry of Hart’s return, as her last match also took place at the Chaifetz Arena.

AEW teased her comeback weeks in advance, with eerie vignettes airing since the November 9th episode of AEW Collision. These clips intensified in recent weeks, often following interviews with Jamie Hayter, making Hart’s choice of target no coincidence. With her “heart of stone” persona still intact, Hart looks more focused and dangerous than ever as she sets her sights on the former AEW Women’s Champion.

Julia’s return was foreshadowed during an October interview where she confidently stated, “I’m ready to come back.” And come back she did—making an immediate impact and reigniting intrigue around her character.
