Skye Smitson welcomes the double title match that follows Jamie Hayter‘s recent return to EVE.
Last month, Jamie Hayter marked her long-awaited return to Pro-Wrestling EVE at the promotion’s Multiverse Rumble event. EVE fans last saw Hayter losing the EVE International Championship to Emersyn Jayne at Reign After Queendom in February 2020. This time, she defeated former EVE Champion Alex Windsor in the main event.
“It was so cool [to see Hayter back],” former EVE Tag Team Champion Skye Smitson told WrestleZone’s Ella Jay. “There’s a lot of girls on the show that are younger, in their first few years of their career, and it’s that reminder that if you do everything right, you bust your butt, you work, not just in the gym, you train, you study footage, you put passion into everything that you feel will help you in wrestling, that it can pay off. You can become that superstar and you can get to that level.
“Just like with Alex Windsor, she’s getting into AEW, just main evented Ring of Honor in Australia, if you keep working, you push, and you don’t take your foot off that gas, there are rewards. I think it was nice for other people to see that, to see [Hayter] come in. Obviously, she’s nice as anything, She’s a lovely person, so to see that and to see that person who has this kind of stardom and come in, it’s a good incentive for people to keep going.”
Skye Smitson prepares for a double title match at EVE Women Behaving Badly
Following Hayter’s victory over Alex Windsor at Multiverse Rumble, the latter got into a brawl with EVE Champion Nina Samuels and Skye Smitson. This prompted EVE booker Dann Reed to arrange a dual-title, three-way match for the Women Behaving Badly event on March 7, with Samuels defending both the EVE Championship and International Championship. The first fall will be for the EVE Championship, whereas the second match fall will award the International Championship.
“That would be amazing [to come out with two titles], Smitson said. “I’s a weird one because you have to prepare for two people. You have to prepare for in some cases, if we go to a time draw on both of them, like what’s the limitation there? So physically you try and prepare for it by upping your endurance. Mentally you think, ‘Okay, what can I pull out of my bag of tricks that they don’t know about? How can I surprise them in one way or another?’ It’s great because it’s testing. It’s something that I think everyone in their career needs. They need a test. But yeah, I’ve got a few little tricks up my sleeve that they won’t expect from me.”
