A rising young female star in AEW could be in for an “immediate push” according to a new report.

Julia Hart has undergone a major character change in her career from being a cheerleader of sorts to becoming more of a brooding character as part of the House of Black stable.

As 2023 has gone on, Hart has been featured in the ring a lot more often. At AEW WrestleDream, Julia Hart came up short against TBS Champion Kris Statlander, but she will have another shot at the champion.

It has been reported by Fightful Select that AEW executives are impressed by the crowd reactions that Hart receives. The report notes that AEW plans to give Hart an “immediate push” while the crowd reactions to her haven’t gone unnoticed by the company.

Hart was off AEW for several weeks following WrestleDream due to her wedding to Lee Johnson, a fellow All Elite Wrestling performer. After her honeymoon, Hart was back on TV in a featured role that is still in the hunt for the TBS Championship.

The Fightful report also claimed that while Hart is a challenger for the TBS Championship, the company plans on featuring her whether she wins the title or not due to how well her character has connected with the fans.

Julia Hart Will Compete For TBS Championship At AEW Full Gear

The TBS Championship has been held by Kris Statlander since May 2023, but that could end this Saturday at the AEW Full Gear pay-per-view.

At Full Gear, Statlander will defend the TBS Championship against Julia Hart and Skye Blue, who earned her spot into the triple threat by beating Red Velvet on the November 15th edition of AEW Dynamite.

Considering how long Statlander has held the TBS Championship, it could be the right time for a title change, which could also mean Julia Hart or Skye Blue becoming a first-time champion in All Elite Wrestling.
