Zayda Steels AEW journey is just getting startedand now its official.
Tony Khan has confirmed that Zayda Steel has signed with All Elite Wrestling, marking a major step forward in her pro wrestling career. The announcement comes on the heels of her in-ring debut on AEW Collision: Maximum Carnage, where she faced off against Marina Shafir in a hard-fought match that ended with Steel tapping out to the Mothers Milk submission.
Despite the loss, Steels signing proves AEW sees potential in the rising star. Before stepping into the AEW spotlight, Steel first made an impression in Ring of Honor, appearing on ROH TV in December and competing at Final Battlewhere she lost to Leila Grey. In a twist of fate, Steel would go on to replace Grey in the Sky Flight faction following Greys injury, aligning herself with Scorpio Sky, Christopher Daniels, Dante Martin, and Darius Martin.
Prior to her AEW/ROH run, Steel was part of WWEs NIL/ID program, but made the decision not to renew her WWE ID contract in October 2025, ultimately opting to take her talents to Tony Khans roster instead.
With a new contract in hand, a faction behind her, and her first AEW match already under her belt, Zayda Steel is poised for a fresh startand plenty of eyes will be watching her next move.
