Anna Jay has returned to All Elite Wrestling.
Anna Jay made her television return to AEW, making the save and reuniting with Tay Conti after she was attacked by Penelope Ford and The Bunny. Jay had been sidelined due to a separated shoulder since March and was initially expected to miss 6-12 months of action.
In July, Anna Jay and Tay Conti appeared on Renee Paquette’s Oral Sessions podcast and Jay spoke about how things were progressing with her recovery from surgery. Anna Jay went into detail about the injury, explaining how she was hoping the surgery was successful but didn’t have a timeframe for her return at that time.
“I don’t really know. I know everything’s going on track how it should. Of course, the doctors don’t really want to say [a timeframe] just because it could change and I don’t really know, but everything’s going as it should. Obviously, I hope sooner than later, but then again, I’m not rushing it. So, I don’t really have a timeframe yet, but we’ll see.”
