Jamie Hayter took to Twitter to boast about her impressive title defense and praise her opponent, Hikaru Shida, as well. However, she put the entire AEW women's locker room on notice and hinted that she would be the champion for a long time.
21/12/22. First defence.
Fair play to you, Shida. But this is how it’s supposed to be.

Jamie Hayter recently opened up her career before signing with AEW
During a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, Hayter opened up about her time in Japan prior to signing with Tony Khan's promotion.
The current AEW Women's World Champion said that she had nowhere to go and didn't have much clarity about her future.
"There was no work in Japan. I left, but I didn’t have anywhere to live. I remember saying, ‘Holy s**t, I’m homeless!' I had nowhere to go and no idea what I was going to do. Fortunately, I stayed with my friends and lived on their couch. There were five of us living there, and they had a gym in their garage, which was a godsend. I thought I was never going to wrestle again. Toni Storm was in a similar situation, and she stayed there, too," said Hayter. [H/T: SportsIllustrated]

While Jamie Hayter has come a long way from her initial struggles in the pro wrestling business after her AEW Women's World Title victory, it will be interesting to see how Tony Khan books her reign for the foreseeable future.
