It just needed to happen

A prominent AEW star has been likened to The Undertaker following a surprising character transformation. Julia Hart is among the most beloved figures in the roster.

Initially, Julia Hart gained recognition as part of the Varsity Blondes. She later abandoned her cheerleader persona in favor of a dark, mysterious image after joining the House of Black. This significant character shift boosted her popularity among fans. The 24-year-old talent is now part of the Triangle of Madness alongside Thekla and Skye Blue.

In a recent exclusive interview with ITR Wrestling, Hart discussed how her character has drawn comparisons to WWE legend and Hall of Famer, The Undertaker. She explained that the change in her persona was essential for her advancement. Hart emphasized that she had been focused on being a cheerleader for too long and realized the need to embrace her identity as a wrestler.

“I think it just needed to happen because I was so hung up on cheerleading. That’s all I knew for six years. So I was trying too hard to put a cheerleader in wrestling instead of being a wrestler and just happen to be a cheerleader kind of thing. So I think this character shift really helped me become my full self as a wrestler and kind of leave like cheer behind and really helped me get to the next level. I started to feel more confident because I wasn’t trying to be a cheerleader. A cheerleader wouldn’t do that, a cheerleader wouldn’t do this. Okay, but you’re not a cheerleader, you’re a wrestler. It definitely helped me, I needed that character shift.”
