She has, according to Fightful Select, been “backstage at several AEW shows in recent months” and was at both the Lexington and Toronto shows.

Leyla Hirsch underwent knee surgery in May 2022 and is “slowly getting there” however there’s been no update as to when she will resume in-ring training to make an AEW return.

Hirsch suffered her knee injury during an April 2022 episode of AEW Dark: Elevation that brought her match to an end and the referee to throw up the X.
