Hart’s return to AEW Collision has been teased for the past few weeks. This comes after vignettes were shown around her in recent weeks where the mysterious wrestler sounded ready to resurface. At one point, the vignette even interrupted Hayter’s promo backstage which is the reason Khan mentioned that she could be the target for Hart.
With the clean pinfall win on the AEW Collision Winter is Coming episode, Nightingale has now qualified to be the AEW representative in the women’s division tournament that features talents from AEW, ROH, CMLL, and STARDOM wrestling promotions.
