A new report has revealed the reason for Jamie Hayter's current absence from All Elite Wrestling programming. The former AEW Women's World Champion is once again sidelined and is not medically cleared to compete.
This marks another unfortunate setback for the star, who has a history of significant injuries. Her latest issue comes after a long road to recovery from a previous career-threatening ailment.
Hayter Sidelined Following Recent Attack
According to a report from Fightful Select, Hayter is not medically cleared for action, which is why she has been off television. Her last appearance was on the episode of AEW Dynamite following the Double or Nothing pay-per-view.
On that show, Hayter was written out of storylines via an attack by the debuting Thekla. The report notes that AEW would be featuring Hayter on programming if she were available, and that creative plans involving Thekla have been adjusted due to Hayter's status.
Hayter Previously Detailed Grueling Injury Recovery
This current absence is especially concerning given the severity of the herniated discs that kept Hayter away from the ring for over a year. In a past interview with Renee Paquette, she detailed the grueling nature of that recovery.

"I wasn't even aware of the injury until it was really bad. I couldn't walk," Hayter recalled. "I couldn't even stand up straight. My body was at an angle, I just couldn't do anything."
She explained that the pain was constant and debilitating. The injury made even simple daily tasks nearly impossible to complete.
"I couldn't laugh, I couldn't sneeze, I couldn't cough, I couldn't sit down, I couldn't stand in the shower, I couldn't lay down on my back, I couldn't really do anything."

The Mental Toll Of Recovery
The physical pain also led to a significant mental and emotional struggle. Hayter admitted that she began to question her passion for the wrestling business.
"It got to a point where I was like I don't know if I even want to do it again. I don't know why," she said. "I think it was the pain and everything that happened. I just really wasn't sure. It was almost like I had to find myself again, find my purpose, and find my passion to do it again."
She was bed-bound for months before she could begin to feel like herself again.
"When the pain from my injury kind of subsided a little bit, that's when I could see the light a little bit more... When the pain subsided, I could start moving again. For me personally, being physical is my enjoyment; that is what I do best."

Owners Bring Home Saint Bernard, Poodle Mix—Shock at What She Grows Into
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. When bringing home a young, mixed-breed puppy, owners can only imagine what their canine will look like as an adult, which left one family with a bigger fur mess than they expected. A family didn't know what to imagine when welcoming home a Saint Bernard and poodle mix, also known as a Saint Berdoodle. This hybrid is known to be a friendly and affectionate yet protective dog, according to an article from Dogster. These gentle giants make a great family dog, especially as they are hypoallergenic. Given the dog's lineage, the owners planned for a large dog breed, but a March 16 Instagram video posted to the account @yourfriendmarley showed how they underestimated her size. The text on the video reads "when two worlds collide," accompanied by images of the two dog breeds. The product was Marley, a giant fluff baby. About 93 pounds later, their dog was fully grown, and their home was filled with endless fur. Marley stood up with her front paws propping her on the kitchen counter. She stood as tall as the man in the background. Her entire body was covered with luscious, curly hair that looked like a cloud. Newsweek reached out to @yourfriendmarley via Instagram for additional information and comment. Screenshots of two popular dog breeds, a Saint Bernard, left, and a white poodle.

Belova Veronika and RS-photography/Getty Images Like any dog, there's plenty of upkeep when it comes to a Saint Berdoodle. The owner wrote in the comment section that Marley receives six cups of food daily and a biscuit, "plus anything she sneaks." Their coats vary. Some might be medium and thick with curly hair, or long and wavy like a Saint Bernard's coat. But either way, daily grooming is essential to avoid any knots. Viewer Reactions The Instagram video amassed over 12.7 million views, 555,000 likes and 4,356 comments as of Friday. "He needs to start paying rent," joked a viewer, while a second wrote: "I thought it was AI." Another added: "That ain't no dog that's a horse." Someone else commented: "I'm a dog groomer and I think I'd die on the spot if that walked in." While many were stunned by the dog's mane, others expressed concern about breeding these two dogs together, claiming many hybrid mixes come from unethical breeders and are prone to health or behavioral issues.
