AEW Champion Signs Full-Time Deal

It has been confirmed that an All Elite Wrestling champion has officially signed a full-time deal with the promotion.

Julia Hart never received the customary "...is All Elite" graphic but Fightful Select has confirmed she is indeed under contract with AEW and she put pen to paper on a full-time deal some time ago. There was never any announcement and it was never reported, though. 

AEW told Fightful that a number of full-time talents weren't given "...is All Elite" graphics after they were transitioned from per-date deals. 

After training under Ken Anderson and at the Nightmare Factory, Julia Hart joined All Elite Wrestling in April 2021. She initially managed The Varsity Blonds before transitioning to House of Black. 

The 22-year-old has established herself as a singles star throughout 2023 and she captured the TBS Championship at Full Gear from Kris Statlander in a Three-Way that also included Skye Blue. Hart has since defended the belt successfully against the likes of Lady Frost and Emi Sakura in the 16 days since she won the TBS Championship.
