Leyla Hirsch's Post-AEW Release Plans Revealed

Leyla Hirsch has revealed her plans following her exit from All Elite Wrestling, with ‘Legit’ set to return to the independent scene.

Taking to X/Twitter, Hirsch wrote the following:

“After taking some time to reflect and recharge, I’m beyond excited to announce that I’m BACK on the independent wrestling scene! I’ve missed the rush, the fans, and the adrenaline that comes with stepping into that ring. I’m ready to bring the passion and the performance you know and love! Now accepting bookings! Serious inquiries only.”

Hirsch last wrestled at Ring of Honor Final Battle in December 2024, before exiting AEW/ROH in early March after the expiration of her deal. Hirsch’s time in AEW was marred by a serious ACL injury suffered in April 2022, with the injury keeping Hirsch on the shelf for the best part of 14 months. Prior to the injury, Hirsch was in the beginning of a heel turn and push on AEW TV, and post-injury worked for sister promotion ROH.

Leyla was one of several names to depart AEW/ROH in Q1 2025, with the likes of Ricky Starks, Miro, Malakai Black, and Rey Fenix also departing the organisation.
