A prominent AEW champion has been out of action for a month. Recent reports have indicated the potential reason behind her absence.

AEW star Julia Hart names AJ Lee and Alexa Bliss as her inspirations in professional wrestling
House of Black member Julia Hart recently spoke about the pro wrestlers who inspired her when she was younger.
On the Busted Open podcast, Julia Hart said she could relate to AJ Lee and Alexa Bliss, and they were her favorites growing up:
"I would say when I was younger, two of my two biggest that I looked up to the most were AJ Lee and Alexa Bliss. I feel like I kind of resemble a lot of them sometimes, which is great because I love them so much. I think I do piggyback off of them sometimes because they are [sic] my favorites growing up. So those are definitely the two women I looked up to the most." [H/T WrestlingINC]
Julia Hart has scaled new heights since she joined House of Black, a faction led by Malakai Black. The group also comprises Brody King and Buddy Mathews. It will be interesting to see which star will take the TBS Title away from Julia Hart in the future.
