Abadon returned to AEW programming in October and had been feuding with Julia Hart since, the House of Black member continuously taunting her eventual challenger. They secured a win over Hart during last weekend’s “AEW Collision” in tag team action alongside Thunder Rosa with Hart joined by Skye Blue. This was Julia Hart’s third title defense since capturing the TBS Women’s Championship from Kris Statlander in a three-way with Skye Blue at Full Gear in November.
