AEW President Tony Khan confirmed that Anna Jay has extended her contract with All Elite Wrestling and will remain with the company, 411mania reported. The announcement came during a media call promoting AEW Redemption in Montreal, Canada. Jay is currently sidelined by an injury and recently underwent an MRI, with no timetable set for her return.
Jay has been part of AEW since 2020 and is seen as a key figure in the company's future plans. Khan offered reassurance about her standing, saying she has a lengthy deal in place. Planning for her future TV appearances remains on hold until she recovers, according to Wrestle Zone.
Tony Khan Addresses Weeks of Contract Speculation
Speculation about Jay's future with AEW had been circulating for some time before Khan's comments. Khan used the Redemption media call to put those questions to rest. He confirmed Jay is in good standing with the company and that her contract extension is now settled, eWrestlingNews reported.
Khan did not give a specific return date for Jay. He noted that the injury recovery process is ongoing and that an MRI had recently been completed. The promotion is simply waiting for her to get healthy before making plans for her next on-screen appearance, per 411mania.
Jay's Last Match Ended in Tag Title Loss
Jay's most recent in-ring appearance came on the June 6 episode of AEW Collision. She teamed with Tay Melo to challenge Divine Dominion — the team of Lena Kross and Megan Bayne — for the Women's World Tag Team Titles. The match ended in a loss for Jay and Melo, according to Wrestle Zone.
That Collision match now marks the last time fans have seen Jay compete. Her injury status emerged shortly after, keeping her off AEW programming entirely. The title belts remained with Divine Dominion following the bout.
Jay's Five-Year AEW Career and What Comes Next
Jay joined AEW in 2020 and built her career through stints with the Dark Order and later the Jericho Appreciation Society. She has been a consistent presence on AEW television across those five years, per eWrestlingNews. Khan's comments suggest the company values her enough to lock her in long-term, even while she heals.
The contract extension news was picked up by multiple outlets, including Wrestle Zone and 411mania, reflecting broad interest in her status. While her return timeline is unclear, AEW has made its commitment plain. Jay will be back on screen — the only question is when.
