Leyla Hirsch is returning to action on the independent scene.
Leyla Hirsch was removed from the AEW roster page earlier in March. Mike Johnson of PWInsider had reported that she would be leaving the company, as her contract was set to expire on February 28th. Hirsch previously signed with AEW in 2021 and spent most of her time there with ROH. In her final match with the company, she unsuccessfully challenged Red Velvet for the ROH Women's World Television Championship at ROH Final Battle 2024.
On March 18th, Leyla Hirsch took to Twitter/X and stated that, after taking some time to reflect and recharge, she was excited to announce that she was back on the independent wrestling scene. Hirsch wrote that she had missed the rush, the fans, and the adrenaline that came with stepping into the ring. She noted that she was ready to bring the passion and the performance that the fans knew and loved. Hirsch ended her message by saying that she was accepting bookings.
