Former WWE Star Makes Official AEW Debut

This former WWE star made her AEW debut on Collision recently

Former WWE star, 22-year-old Zayda Steel, made her AEW debut on Collision this past week. Zayda was part of WWE’s Independent Development program, but refused to renew her contract last year, becoming a free agent.

She competed in Ring of Honor last month in three matches, which is AEW’s sister promotion owned by Tony Khan.

Zayda made her AEW TV debut, appearing alongside Scorpio Sky and the Sky Flight faction against The Death Riders in a match. After Sky Flight lost the trios bout, Zayda was seen getting into an altercation with a Death Riders member, Marina Shafir.

The Megasus, Megan Bayne, then showed up to deliver a devastating powerbomb to Zayda, possibly building up Zayda’s in-ring debut in AEW.

After Zayda Steel made her debut in Ring of Honor, Owner Tony Khan praised her work, asking fans to stay tuned and saying that there’s more he wishes to see from her.

Well, I think we’ll stay tuned as Zayda Steel’s doing a great job and I think she does great work. She’s come out and we saw that promo with Leila Grey. I thought that was very interesting this week on ROH… Certainly, Zayda brought some good interest and I’d be interested to see more of her in ROH for sure so, stay tuned.

Now in AEW, it remains to be seen what Khan and the promotion have in store for Steel
