Anna Jay returns to save top AEW star on Dynamite
Anna Jay made a return to AEW programming by showing up on Dynamite to make the save for her best friend Tay Conti from an attack by The Bunny and Penelope Ford.
Penelope Ford and Tay Conti went one-on-one ahead of their involvement at All Out in the Women's Casino Battle Royale. The Bunny tried to distract the referee during the match to help Ford get the advantage, but it didn't work out as planned. Tay Conti used the distraction to roll up Ford to earn a hard-fought win.
Enraged by the nature of the Brazilian star's win, Ford and The Bunny unloaded on Conti only for Anna Jay to show up for the first time since February. The Dark Order member cleared the ring, and the segment ended with Conti and Jay embracing the ring.
Anna Jay and Tay Conti were tag team partners before the former's injury, and the duo reached the semifinals of the AEW Women's Tag Team Cup Tournament: The Deadly Draw.
As a singles competitor, Jay challenged Hikaru Shida in November for the AEW Women's World Championship but came up short.
