AEW star and one-half of FTR, Dax Harwood is one of the top names in the Jacksonville-based promotion. The veteran also has a great eye for talent and believes that a 23-year-old star is the best young wrestler in the world.

Julia Hart has become a notable star in AEW in the past few years. The youngster joined the House of Black in 2022 and won her first title in the promotion at Full Gear 2023. Hart defeated Skye Blue, and Kris Statlander in a Three Way Match to win the TBS Championship. She went on to hold the title till Dynasty in April 2024, when she dropped the title to Willow Nightingale.

The potential reason for Hart losing the TBS Championship could be due to her suffering a shoulder injury before the match against Nightingale. She returned to the promotion in November 2024 and her main target has been Jamie Hayter. In a recent interview with WrestleZone, Dax Harwood was running down the card for AEW Dynamite where he took some time to make a bold claim. The FTR member claimed that Julia Hart was the best young wrestler in the world while speaking about her match against Hayter on Dynamite.

"First time ever, the Acclaimed vs. The Hurt Syndicate...," Harwood said. "First time ever match of 'Hangman' Page and Orange Cassidy. First time match between Jamie Hayter and who I consider the best young wrestler in the world, Julia Hart." H/T:[WrestlingInc]

Tony Khan also named Julia Hart among the future stars of AEW

All Elite Wrestling head honcho Tony Khan has a stacked women's roster in his promotion and recently spoke about the stars who could lead the division in the future.

In a recent appearance on The Five Star podcast, Tony Khan called Julia Hart, Willow Nightingale, and Jamie Hayter the future faces of All Elite Wrestling's women's division.

"Julia Hart and Jamie Hayter are developing a rivalry and we just saw Jamie Hayter have a great match with Willow [Nightingale] on AEW Collision. I think Willow Nightingale's a force in the company for years to come. [...] I think all three of those women would be at the forefront of that conversation about faces of the company for the future and the present of AEW," said Khan. [H/T: WrestlingInc.]

These three women are also considered underrated due to the stacked women's roster that also includes Toni Storm, Mercedes Mone, Mariah May, and more.

We will have to wait and see how Tony Khan plans to shake up the women's division this year.
