It looks like one AEW star could be returning to television after a lengthy and notable absence.
Serena Deeb made her AEW debut on the September 2, 2020, episode of Dynamite, where she lost to then-NWA Women’s Champion Thunder Rosa in her first match since 2017.
Deeb hasn’t been seen in nearly a year as she was regularly used on AEW television until she worked at the AEW Dark: Elevation taping on October 18, 2022.
As previously reported last month, Deeb had some backstage heat before disappearing from television.
Fightful Select reports the former NWA Women’s Champion was backstage at last Saturday’s AEW Collision event. Those at the show who spoke with Fightful noted they didn’t see her at any AEW shows this year, and the area she was at Collision “isn’t anywhere near where she would have just been visiting.”
Two versions about her hiatus that led to her absence have gone around – her significant disagreement with AEW management in 2022 – or the version where she told wrestlers that she was sidelined with an injury this year.
