Jamie Hayter has been out of action for over a year, with little to no updates.
In fact, the only couple of updates that we’ve been able to learn since that time was that Hayter worked through an injury to drop the AEW Women’s Title at AEW Double or Nothing. Shortly after, it was apparent to All Elite Wrestling that Hayter would be unable to wrestle at AEW All In 2023. Then, it was clear that Hayter wouldn’t be wrestling for the rest of the year, and later was simply sidelined indefinitely.
There have been a ton of inquiries and requests for update on Jamie Hayter’s status, and for the better part of a year, things were completely silent outside of Hayter coming . However, 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 that there had 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.
AEW talent that we’ve spoken to say they haven’t heard much if anything about Hayter of late. Her being backstage is not a regular occurrence these days, and talent say they haven’t seen her back since, and haven’t heard general updates on her.
Those we’ve spoken to said that she’s been keeping to herself and focusing on recovering.
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.
To sum it up, last year, the line of thinking was there were no timetables, plans, or even general outlines. There was at least discussion on the possibility of her return this year. Perhaps the most promising element of this was that there have been talent that have had matches pitched to them involving Hayter for a possible return. Thus far, those that we've spoken to close to her and AEW are confident that a return is in the cards.
Fightful has reached out to Jamie Hayter to confirm the information directly, but didn’t hear back.
