It turns out thereâ€s more to Kiera Hoganâ€s absence than just free agency.
Following her October announcement that she was no longer with AEW, Hogan hadnâ€t wrestled since her April 2025 tag team reunion with Tasha Steelz at an ASÉ WRESTLING event. While many fans assumed she was simply taking a break or preparing for her next move, a new update from Steelz has confirmed that Hogan is actually recovering from an injury.
During a virtual signing for K & S WrestleFest,Steelz was asked about her longtime Fire ‘N Flava tag partner. Without hesitation, she offered a heartfelt shoutout:
“Shout out to my Fire, Kiera Hogan. Heal up soon, girl…â€
When the host admitted he wasnâ€t aware Hogan was injured, Steelz confirmed it simply, “Yes.†Hogan previously confirmed her AEW departure during an RDP Promotions signing, telling fans she was officially a free agent:
“No. I worked at AEW until this year, and now I am a free agent.â€
At the time, Hogan played coy about her next steps in wrestling, hinting at something in the works and declaring she wasnâ€t finished. She also flirted with the idea of a WWE jump.
“Just know, Iâ€m not done with wrestling. You will see me on somebody elseâ€s screen very soon, okay? Sheâ€s not done.†I mean, never say never, right? Whoâ€s to say I donâ€t go to WWE and help make it better? You know what Iâ€m saying?… Maybe the WWE just needs some heat, and they ainâ€t find it yet so maybe they just waiting on me.â€
Hoganâ€s last AEW match came in April 2024, and she hasnâ€t competed anywhere since that ASÉ WRESTLING appearance in April 2025. While she has been off the radar, this injury update helps explain her in-ring hiatus.
With her fire still very much lit, the only question now is where and when sheâ€ll return—once sheâ€s fully healed.
