Former WWE Women's Tag Team Champion teases huge match with Jamie Hayter in AEW
AEW Women's Champion Jamie Hayter might just have one of her biggest opponents waiting in line, as the reigning IWGP Women's Champion KAIRI recently teased a clash between the two.
Fans have heavily supported Jamie Hayter's journey to the All Elite Wrestling Women's Championship, and even today, many believe she should turn babyface instead of being a heel. Despite this, Hayter has only defended the title once.
During her interview with Dark Puroresu Flowsion, KAIRI revealed that while she's never met Hayter, she'd love to test her mettle against the champion.
βOf course! In fact, I never met her. But I often hear that she was very active in the STARDOM ring. Hello Jamie, Iβm KAIRI! I hope you read this.β (H/T Fightful)
Jamie Hayter recently met WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley for the first time ever, and the Hardcore Legend seemed excited to see her as he shared the moment online.

While many fans have been anticipating Mercedes' AEW debut, but the star is yet to appear in the promotion. According to a report, her upcoming match against KAIRI could be why she's not appeared yet despite being heavily teased.
During the same interview, the star shared her honest take on Mercedes MonΓ© despite being attacked by the store.
"I respect her very much. She has always been kind to me in private, and when I returned to Japan from America, she gave me many wonderful gifts. I still cherish them. I believe MonΓ© and I can make a great match that people will remember forever," KAIRI said. (H/T Fightful)
It remains to be seen if Mercedes will make her debut in AEW after her bout against KAIRI, but could the former WWE Superstar make her first appearance as the IWGP Women's Champion?
