The Texas 2025 event promises a lineup packed with championship bouts and intense matchups, but not all expected matches have come to pass. Although some matches were never officially confirmed, it seemed possible they might appear on the card scheduled for July 12th.
Notably, five AEW matches were cancelled for the 2025 event. One highlighted cancellation is the potential bout between Jamie Hayter and Thekla. Thekla debuted in AEW this past May by attacking Jamie Hayter on television, setting the stage for a rivalry. However, Jamie Hayter has reportedly been sidelined by private injuries. Fans anticipated this confrontation in Texas, but it never materialized as Hayter has yet to make her comeback. While Hayter’s anticipated final showdown with "The Toxic Spider" is on hold, Thekla may instead make her mark by debuting in a women’s casino gauntlet match.
Fan Take: This update is significant for AEW fans because the cancellation of key matches shakes up the event’s dynamics and creates new story arcs. The absence of Hayter could open doors for fresh talents like Thekla to rise, potentially reshaping AEW’s women’s division and keeping the competition exciting.
