Willow Nightingale Officially Signs With AEW
Willow is All Elite
Willow Nightingale has officially signed with All Elite Wrestling, which was confirmed during Friday's Rampage broadcast.
The signing was also confirmed by Tony Khan, who tweeted, "Congratulations @willowwrestles! Welcome to the team! Willow Nightingale is ALL ELITE!", along with the standard "is All Elite" graphic.
On Friday's Rampage, Nightingale defeated Leila Grey in a singles match, finishing Grey with a powerbomb after eight minutes. After the match, Tony Schiavone announced Nightingale's signing.
Nightingale first appeared for AEW in April of 2021, working a handful of Dark and Dark Elevation tapings over the months ahead. Later in the year, Nightingale took part in the tournament to crown the inaugural ROH Women's champion, losing to Allysin Kay in the quarterfinal round.
Nightingale unsuccessfully challenged Rok-C for the ROH Women's title at Final Battle 2021, the final ROH event before Tony Khan's purchase of the company in early 2022.
Beginning in June 2022, Nightingale began wrestling more regularly for AEW. In recent weeks, she's wrestled the likes of Jamie Hayter, Penelope Ford, and Serena Deeb. Nightingale also unsuccessfully challenged TBS Women's champion Jade Cargill at Battle of the Belts earlier this month.
