In a return that had more Brits on their feet than a pub playing “Sweet Caroline,” Jamie Hayter made her thunderous comeback to AEW during the All In Zero Hour kickoff show. It was a showdown that could only be described as a royal rumble—minus the posh tea and crumpets.
Saraya, the self-proclaimed queen of British wrestling, had been flapping her gums about how no one from across the pond could hold a candle to her. Of course, this was before Hayter stormed in like a one-woman hurricane, ready to dismantle the entire Knight family like a flat-pack from IKEA.
First on the chopping block? The whole Knight clan, who clearly didn’t read the instructions on how to deal with a rampaging Hayter. One by one, she mowed them down, leaving Saraya quaking in her boots like she’d just seen the ghost of Wembley past. But just as Jamie was about to deliver a knuckle sandwich that would’ve sent Saraya to the Tower of London, Harley Cameron swooped in to save the day—or so she thought.
Cameron, bless her heart, quickly found out that Jamie Hayter isn’t just all bark and no bite. Hayter grabbed her by the collar and delivered a clothesline that might as well have sent her straight through customs. With Harley flat on the canvas, Jamie posed triumphantly, soaking in the adoration of her fellow countrymen and women like a returning war hero.
For those keeping score at home, this was Hayter’s first appearance since she valiantly lost the AEW Women’s World Championship to Toni Storm at Double or Nothing 2023. Despite an injury that would’ve sent lesser mortals to the nearest NHS walk-in clinic, Hayter powered through to drop the belt before taking time to heal. Her absence from last year’s inaugural Wembley event was a sore spot, but if this return is anything to go by, Jamie Hayter is back with a vengeance—and it’s not just tea and biscuits she’s serving.
Keep an eye out, because her long-time partner-in-crime, Britt Baker, is set to square off against Mercedes Mone for the TBS Championship later tonight. If this return is anything to go by, the Brits might just walk away with more gold than an Olympic diving team.
