Harley Cameron hinted at her comeback during this week’s episode of AEW Collision.
In a vignette, Cameron was shown watching footage of the nose injury that sidelined her. She then put on a face mask, which seemed to trigger her wrestling gear to appear — signaling that she’s ready to step back in the ring. Cameron has been out of action since Double or Nothing.

On this week’s episode of AEW Collision, Stokely Hathaway teamed up with FTR’s Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler to score a victory over Ryan Zukko, Joe Keys, and Josh Fuller. The finish came when Hathaway pinned Zukko after hitting a Spike Piledriver with an assist from FTR.
The win sets the stage for Hathaway’s upcoming match against Adam Copeland on the next episode of AEW Dynamite. In the lead-up, Hathaway has joked that he’s been fighting his whole life because he’s short, bald, and — according to him — can’t get any attention from the “h*es.”
