Former WWE Star Makes Huge AEW Dynamite In-Ring Debut

AEW Dynamite aired live from The Legendary Roy Wilkins Arena is St. Paul, Minnesota, and the home crowd got to see two of their own stars compete in the ring tonight.

The Death Riders were in action early in the night as they were scheduled for a Mixed Trios match, which saw Marina Shafir, Dani Garcia and the AEW Continental Champion, Jon Moxley in action.

They were challenged by Minnesota’s own, Dante and Darius Martin, Top Flight, as they teamed with a former WWE star who made her in-ring Dynamite debut.

Zayda Steel wrestles debut match on AEW Dynamite

The star in question is none other than former WWE wrestler, Zayda Steel. She was part of the Stamford-based promotion as part of the company’s WWE ID program.

Steel wrestled a few matches on WWE’s Evolve brand before deciding against renewing her contract. She left the promotion in 2025 and joined the All Elite promotion in January this year, but ended up on the losing side in her first ever AEW Dynamite match tonight.
