AEW has announced that Julia Hart is out of the Casino Battle Royale at Sunday’s All Out pay-per-view.
The promotion shot an angle where Jade Cargill and Nyla Rose attacked Hart during a backstage promo and wrapped a chair around Hart’s ankle with Cargill stomping the chair.

Her replacement will be independent talent Skye Blue, who wrestled Red Velvet on the Dark tapings on Friday night at the NOW Arena. Blue was incredibly popular and after losing the match, AEW president Tony Khan came out and offered her a spot in the Casino Battle Royale.
The change leaves one available spot in the Casino Battle Royale with 20 women advertised of the 21.
The match was originally scheduled for the Buy-In pre-show but has since been moved to the pay-per-view main card.
The match is set to feature Nyla Rose, Jade Cargill, Thunder Rosa, Tay Conti, Big Swole, Penelope Ford, Emi Sakura, Kiera Hogan, KiLynn King, Rebel, Jamie Hayter, The Bunny, Red Velvet, Hikaru Shida, Abadon, Anna Jay, Leyla Hirsch, Diamante, Riho, and Skye Blue.
Because of the attack on @TheJuliaHart earlier by Nyla & Jade, there’s an opening in tomorrow’s Casino Battle Royale & #AEW GM @TonyKhan, impressed w/ @Skyebyee‘s losing effort vs @Thee_Red_Velvet, adds her to the match!
