AEW star Jamie Hayter opens up about how serious the injury was that sidelined her for over a year

Former AEW women’s champion Jamie Hayter returned at AEW All In 2024 after being out of action for over a year. While speaking to Renee Paquette, Jamie stated that she had completely herniated two discs in her back…

“I wasn’t even aware of the injury until it was really bad. I couldn’t walk. I couldn’t even stand up straight. My body was at an angle, I just couldn’t do anything. 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. I thought it was like a sciatica at first. I was happy because I was not in the know for so long and just really wanted to know what it was for so long and get on the road to recovery. It was a bad place to be in.”

“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. 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. I think when the pain from my injury kind of subsided a little bit, that’s when I could see the light a little bit more. I was in pain constantly. It was not a fun injury, I was bed-bound for months, and I couldn’t do anything. I could watch stuff on my phone or lay in bed and read some books and things like that. When the pain subsided, I could start moving again. For me personally, being physical is my enjoyment, that is what I do best.” (quotes courtesy of F4WOnline.com)
