Jay started training at One Fall Power Factory in July 2018.[7] In April 2019 during training, she suffered a shoulder injury that required surgery and was out of action for 4 to 6 months.[8] On September 14, 2019, Jay made her debut at
Glacier's charity event "The Battle of Altama".[4] In January 2020, Jay defeated Thunder Blonde in a
hair vs. hair match at a Georgia Premier Wrestling event.[1]
Jay returned from injury on the September 1 episode of Dynamite, saving Conti from an attack by Ford and
The Bunny after Conti defeated Ford in a match.[17] In November, Jay competed in the
TBS Women's Championship Tournament, where she lost to
Jamie Hayter in the first round.[18] After months of feuding, the team of Jay and Conti defeated the team of Ford and The Bunny in a
street fight on December 31 on Rampage.[19] Jay then challenged
Jade Cargill for the
AEW TBS Championship in the main event of the January 21, 2022, edition of Rampage, where she was unsuccessful.[20] On May 29, Jay faced Cargill for the championship again at
Double or Nothing where she was unsuccessful again.[21] On July 20, during Night 2 of
Fyter Fest, Jay turned heel by attacking
Ruby Soho, thus reuniting with Conti and joining the
Jericho Appreciation Society.[22] After her heel turn, Jay would go on to defeat Ruby Soho during the Rampage portion of
Fight for the Fallen, choking Soho out with her own arm brace.
Her heel turn would also see a gimmick change for Jay, who would often threaten to choke people out and even do so twice during backstage interviews. She would also adopt the new ring name of Anna Jay A.S. as a reference to her new stable, while also being referred by her original name. Jay and Melo would continue their feud with Soho throughout the rest of 2022 and the beginning of 2023, with Jay and Melo beating Soho and
Willow Nightingale in a tag team match on the December 28 episode of Dynamite and Soho and Nightingale beating them in a street fight on the January 11, 2023, episode of Rampage.
After a two month absence, Jay returned on the March 25, 2023, episode of Rampage, attacking
Julia Hart. This set up a match for two weeks later on the same show, which Hart won after spraying black mist onto Jay's eyes. After a series of post-match attacks, Jay and Hart would have a rematch on the May 10 episode of Dynamite, in which Hart emerged victorious once again. On the June 23 episode of Rampage, Jay competed in the
Owen Hart Foundation Women's Tournament, losing to
Skye Blue in the quarterfinals of the tournament.[23]
Personal life
On June 28, 2021, Jay revealed over social media that she is currently in a relationship with fellow AEW wrestler
Jack Perry.[24]
