More on Jamie Hayter's return, creative around her absence (Patreon)

Jamie Hayter returned at AEW Forbidden Door, a little later than AEW had hoped, but to heavy fanfare. 

Hayter was injured in the closing spot of her AEW Double or Nothing match with Mercedes Mone. We’re told that initially things seemed okay, but backstage, Hayter began not feeling great. Even after the show when Fightful reached out, she said that she was okay.

Unfortunately, she wasn’t, and wasn’t cleared for further contact. As of Double or Nothing, there actually hadn’t been firm plans known for Thekla’s debut. However, with Jamie Hayter being on the shelf, this pushed up Thekla’s debut.

Hayter gained praise for working through a smoke and mirrors spot while no cleared to help Thekla’s debut get off the ground. The plan has always been for Hayter and Thekla to feud upon Hayter’s return.
