While speaking on the latest episode of AEW Unrestricted, Julia Hart was asked about her return match with Hayter, with Hart noting she wasn't sure she'd be able to keep up with the former AEW Women's World Champion.

"I was so happy with Jamie because she's been on my list of people I would love to wrestle. But I was just like, oh gosh, I hope i can keep up. The thing I was like, it's been a long time since i've had, I think at that point it was like six or seven months since I had, since the Dynasty match. So I was like, oh gosh, I hope I can go. But, you know, she took care of me. We had so much fun and I love that match, so."

Julia was then asked about the return vignettes that played prior to her in ring return.

"I remember when it first came on, my stomach dropped. I was like, 'I can't watch it', even though i've already watched it like a hundred times. I was like, I can't watch it. I can't watch it. I can't watch myself. But everyone's feedback was just so great. So I was just like, 'oh, okay, like now I'm feeling good about it, but it's just always that first thought of, like, oh no, like, what if everybody hates this and then you know some people do, and that's totally okay, but it's just like, oh gosh, like, I don't even want to know what people think about it, because I feel confident about it. I feel good about it."

Elsewhere in the same interview, Julia looked back on winning the TBS Championship in late 2023. You can read more about that here.
