Skye Blue hit the runway again.
ATL Swim Week (ATLSW) took place over the weekend, and AEW star Skye Blue was one of the models featured during the show. Skye Blue wore several different pieces as part of the show, a “female-founded, woman-owned organization” by Maddie Anderskow that launched in 2024.
This is not the first time she’s been on the runway, however, as Skye Blue also walked the runway at Miami Swim Week in 2024. Back then, she noted she was “on cloud nine” after the experience. She recently returned to AEW programming after being sidelined for nearly a year with an ankle injury.

Why was Skye Blue away from AEW for so long?
On the July 20, 2024 episode of AEW Collision, Skye Blue suffered a broken ankle in her match against Hikaru Shida. AEW confirmed that Skye Blue was cleared to return and would compete at AEW Dynamite: Beach Break in Chicago in a four-way Eliminator match featuring Mina Shirakawa, Toni Storm and AZM. Catch up on full results from the show here.
Skye Blue recently detailed how severe her ankle injury was, explaining how it was the grossest and scariest thing she had ever felt before.
“I was catching a dive. I’ve caught dives before, so I didn’t think anything of it,” Skye Blue said. “As she jumped, I could tell something was off with it. It was either her head was hitting the floor or I was going to dive and catch her. I dove and caught her. The second I felt it, I rolled over to get up because I had to crawl to where I was going, I felt my foot dangling from my leg.
“I could feel it detached. It was the grossest feeling that I’ve ever felt. Before I even told the ref, ‘Hey, my ankle is messed up,’ there was already a doctor in front of me. She’s like, ‘You’re done. You’re not getting up.’ ‘No, let me finish the match.’ I tried to get up and I screamed. She goes, ‘Sit down. You’re done.’ ‘Okay.’ I was terrified because I just wanted to finish the match. I never felt anything like this. It was the first major injury. I snapped my fibula. There are two long screws (on one side) and (the other side) is a plate and six screws. That was probably the scariest thing ever.”
