Julia Hart Was Sick Of Playing Her Cheerleader Character Prior To Joining House Of Black
Prior to joining The House Of Black, Julia Hart was playing a cheerleader character as part of the Varsity Blondes.
It appears that Julia was growing tired of playing the character, a shiny clean babyface with little character development. However, once Julia began her slow heel turn to joining the House Of Black, there was a lot of support for the decision.
In a new interview with the AEW Unrestricted podcast, Hart detailed the slow burn turn that her character experienced for multiple months on AEW programming.

Julia Hart discusses joining the House Of Black and how happy she is with her new character.
Julia Hart’s transition of the Varsity Blonds to the House Of Black was one of 2022’s slowest burn storylines yet, although the end result left many fans happy. Hart officially joined the Malakai Black led group back at the Double Or Nothing pay-per-view earlier this year.

In a new interview with the AEW Unrestricted podcast, Hart detailed the slow burn turn that her character experienced for multiple months on AEW programming.
“Oh my gosh, I was sitting on those stairs for months. I actually didn’t know, I didn’t [know if it was ever gonna happen]. I was like I’m just gonna keep doing me and hopefully we have to do something with this. I’m not gonna let this go to waste, this was a big moment. When it happened, when Malakai misted me, I was like ‘I think I want to do something different.’ Him misting me could create a whole story of me joining the House Of Black. I think I told Jerry Lynn, I was like ‘Wouldn’t it be amazing if I joined House Of Black?’. He was like ‘I think that would be cool.’ At the time, I wasn’t very close with Malakai and he’s a very intimidating presence as it is, not in a bad way but in a good way. I wanted to tell him but I didn’t know how he’d [perceive it]. So I told Jerry and I guess Jerry told him and he came to me and was like ‘You wanna join House Of Black? Do you like the cheerleading stuff, I thought you liked the cheerleading stuff?”. I was like ‘No, I need something different. I need something new and I need something creative, I love dark shit. I love it all, I’m here for it.’ He was like ‘Oh okay, maybe draw out how’d you see the character and do a promo for me.’ I love promos. I would love to talk more. So I did a promo and I showed him and he was like ‘Oh okay, you have something.’ That was pretty much it. I just kept the eye patch and sat for weeks and waited. I was like ‘When is this ever gonna happen?’ I honestly didn’t know. I was just coming to work and doing my job. I just hoped that one day I could join. I was thinking I want something more and then it turned into what it is now.”
