[7] On September 3, she made her AEW Dark debut losing to Red Velvet. [8] On September 5, she made her pay-per-view debut, competing in the Casino Battle Royale at All Out. [9] On October 6, she debuted on AEW Rampage , losing to Jade Cargill. [10] On January 19, 2022, Blue debuted on AEW Dynamite , losing to Serena Deeb. [11] On the April 2 episode of AEW Rampage, Blue competed in the Owen Hart Foundation Women's Tournament, losing to Jamie Hayter in a qualifying match. [12] On the August 12 episode of Rampage, Blue alongside Dante Martin challenged Sammy Guevara and Tay Melo for the AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championship, but were unsuccessful. [13]

On January 6, 2023, at Battle of the Belts V , Blue challenged Jade Cargill for the AEW TBS Championship, but was unsuccessful. [14]

Blue made her Ring of Honor (ROH) debut on the March 2, 2023, episode of ROH on Honor Club , where she alongside Madison Rayne defeated The Renegades (Charlette Renegade and Robyn Renegade). [15]

On April 7, it was announced that Blue has signed full time with AEW. [16] On the June 9 episode of Rampage, Blue defeated Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D., Mercedes Martinez and Nyla Rose in a four-way match to become the number one contender for the AEW Women's World Championship. [17] On the May 11 episode of the televised ROH episode, during the main event, Blue challenged Athena for the ROH Women's World Championship, but was unsuccessful. [18] On the June 14 episode of Dynamite Blue challenged the Women's World Champion Toni Storm for the title. [19] During the match, which saw Storm spraying Blue's mom in the face with a green spray, Blue had Storm pinned, but the referee was distracted by Storm's ally Ruby Soho. [19] Storm would later submit Blue to retain the title. [19] On June 17, at the premiere episode of Collision , Blue teamed up with the NJPW Strong Women's Champion Willow Nightingale to defeat Soho and Storm. [20] On the June 23 episode of Rampage, Blue competed in the Owen Hart Foundation Women's Tournament, defeating Anna Jay A.S. in the quarterfinals of the tournament. [21]

Alliance with Julia Hart (2023–present)

On the September 23, 2023, edition of AEW Collision, Julia Hart of the House of Black would spray a black mist from her mouth into Blue's eyes. [22] Over the course of the following weeks, Blue's appearance and demeanour would begin to gradually change; she began wrestling a much more aggressive style in the ring while donning heavy black makeup around her eyes. [23] The storyline would esculate on the November 1 edition of Dynamite with Julia Hart seeming willing to align with Skye Blue, but Skye answered by spraying blue mist into the eyes of Hart. [24] Nonetheless, Blue's demeanour remained altered. On the December 16, 2023, edition of Collision, Blue turned heel for the first time in her career and aligned with Hart by joining her in attacking Abadon until a returning Thunder Rosa made the save. [25]

On the May 29, 2024, episode of Dynamite, Blue unsuccessfully challenged Mercedes Moné for the AEW TBS Championship. [26] On the July 20 episode of Collision, Blue suffered an ankle injury during her match against Hikaru Shida, later revealed to be a broken ankle, sidelining her indefinitely. [27] On September 6 at All Out Zero Hour, Blue, on crutches, made a surprise appearance, where she would be attacked by Women's World Champion Mariah May, who would be chased off by Queen Aminata. [28]

Persona

During her time on the Independent circuit and initially in All Elite Wrestling, the character of Skye Blue was that of a bubbly, energetic, good-natured girl-next-door. [29] [30] This led to comparisons to Roxanne Perez and to Bayley during their time in NXT. [29] However, following a storyline involving Julia Hart that began in September 2023, Skye Blue became a darker, brooding, more aggressive character.

Personal life

In June 2023, Blue confirmed her relationship with fellow wrestler Kyle Fletcher on social media. [31]
