Having been out of action for over a month, it looks as if it won't be too long before AEW's Julia Hart is back competing in the squared circle.

The current AEW TBS Champion, Hart suffered an unknown injury in her Battle of the Belts IX match against Anna Jay on 13 January. Despite that, Julia has continued to be a fairly regular part of AEW programming, often appearing alongside her House of Black cohorts.

Via Fightful Select, the injury to Hart is not believed to be a long-term one, although she isn't expected to be cleared for action this month.

Julia Hart has been the TBS Champion since November, dethroning Kris Statlander at AEW Full Gear by pinning Skye Blue in a triple-threat match. Since then, Hart has defended that prize on four occasions, picking up wins over Lady Frost, Emi Sakura, Abadon, and the aforementioned Anna Jay.

Of course, in the time since Full Gear, Julia has also struck up a partnership with Skye Blue, with Blue having turned heel and aligned with Hart. On that front, last week's AEW Dynamite saw Skye come up short after her former friend Willow Nightingale.
