In what can only be described as a wrestling draft day coup, AEW has reportedly signed a major league free agent to its women’s division. Kamille, the former NWA Women’s World Champion and wrestling powerhouse, has decided to bring her talents to Tony Khan’s All Elite Wrestling, stirring up the scene significantly!
Just when the wrestling world thought Kamille was WWE-bound—with reports swirling about a potential NXT contract and chats with none other than Shawn Michaels—she pulled a fast one. Instead of grappling on WWE turf, Kamille was spotted backstage at “AEW Dynamite,” hinting at a major shift in her career trajectory. Fightful Select has confirmed that the wrestling grapevine was right: Kamille is indeed AEW’s latest star acquisition.
Kamille’s wrestling resume is nothing short of impressive. She held the NWA Women’s World Championship for a whopping 812 days, from June 2021, when she triumphed over Serena Deeb, until August 2023, when she passed the torch to Kenzie Paige at NWA 75. Her dominance in the ring was further cemented with key victories, like those against Thunder Rosa in 2021, which secured her the title shot against Deeb.
Beyond the NWA, Kamille has shown her international prowess, clinching the 2023 Women’s Lucha Libre World Cup in AAA as part of Team USA, alongside Deonna Purrazzo and Jordynne Grace. They defeated Team Mexico in a showdown that still has fans buzzing.
Tony Khan, AEW’s head honcho, praised Kamille as a “great free agent,” noting that AEW had been scouting her and believed she would be a perfect fit for their roster. It’s clear that AEW is looking to beef up their women’s division, and signing a talent like Kamille is a statement that they’re serious about competition.
With Kamille’s track record, charisma, and sheer power, AEW fans are in for a treat. As the women’s division gets even more competitive, all eyes will be on how this powerhouse will shake up the AEW landscape. One thing’s for sure: the wrestling world just got a whole lot more interesting!
