Julia Hart Comments on List of Oppents She Wants to Face for Her AEW In-Ring Return

As noted before, AEW’s Collision Winter Is Coming 2024 show earlier those month featured Julia Hart making surprise in-person return from injury. Prior to her return, Hart had been out of action since this past April due to a shoulder injury.

Variety held a recent interview with Hart. One of the topics discussed included Hart’s thoughts about who she wants to face in AEW for her in-ring return from injury.

“Definitely Mercedes (Moné), she has my title. Probably Willow (Nightingale) too, she took the belt from me. I’ve never worked with Mariah (May), I’ve never worked with Toni (Storm). I would love to work with Serena Deeb, I think she’s someone I could learn a lot from in the ring.”

Hart also gave her thoughts about her upcoming in-ring return match against Jamie Hayter at this Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite Fight for the Fallen 2025 show.

“She just had a great comeback, so I gotta show my comeback is gonna be better than hers. Taking out the locker room one by one, and sorry, Jamie, you’re first.”
