AEW Signs Rising Indy Star

All Elite Wrestling have added or are in the process of adding a rising star to the promotion's women's division, beating out competition to do so.

Fightful Select has reported that Lena Kross has either already signed with AEW or will be signing soon. It was intimated to Fightful that Kross is in the process of moving to Florida.

Kross began her pro wrestling career in 2017 and she wrestled primarily in Australia until 2022, when she began to compete on the independent wrestling scene in the United States. Kross has also toured with Sendai Girls in Japan every year since 2022.

TNA were hopeful of signing Lena Kross earlier this year and she worked the July 24 TNA TV tapings, teaming with Rosemary in a loss to Harley Hudson and Myla Grace for Xplosion. Just a few days later, though, Kross debuted in All Elite Wrestling, facing Kris Statlander on the July 31 episode of Collision. Kross then wrestled an ROH dark match against Lacey Lane on September 11.

AEW have made several additions to the women's division in 2025, signing the likes of Megan Bayne, Mina Shirakawa, Alex Windsor, Thekla, and Lacey Lane.
