Lady Frost Departs AEW, Quickly Lands New Deal with MLW

Lady Frost’s time with AEW/ROH has officially wrapped up—but her next chapter is already underway.

After reports surfaced that her AEW contract had expired, Frost took to social media to confirm the news herself. In a message posted on Twitter, she expressed gratitude for her time in the company and its leadership, specifically thanking Tony Khan for the opportunity.

“As of today, I am a free agent,” Frost wrote. “I want to thank @TonyKhan for being an incredibly kind and passionate boss. I had some of the most incredible moments with @AEW, and I am so grateful for the years that I spent there. For now, I’m on the hunt. Onto the next…”

That “hunt” didn’t last long.

Shortly after her announcement, Fightful Select reported that Frost had already signed with Major League Wrestling. According to the report, MLW had strong interest in bringing her in and acted quickly to secure her signature once she became available.

Frost even followed up on her original post with a quick update, confirming the speedy turnaround: “Not a free agent anymore. That didn’t take long.”

Frost first appeared in AEW back in 2020 on Dark, gradually building her presence before making her Dynamite debut in 2023. While she never became a central figure in the women’s division, she remained a consistent and reliable performer across AEW programming.

Now heading to MLW, Frost gets a fresh opportunity to showcase her unique style in a new environment—and if the quick signing is any indication, she may have a prominent role waiting for her.

Backstage Update on Toni Storm’s AEW Absence: Not Injury-Related

AEW fans were left stunned last week on Dynamite when “Timeless” Toni Storm was written off television in a dramatic backstage segment that quickly sparked speculation. The former champion was discovered laid out and bloodied in her dressing room, surrounded by cryptic clues pointing toward multiple potential suspects on the roster—clearly setting the stage for a mystery-driven storyline.

Given the timing, many initially assumed the angle may have been covering for an injury, especially following Storm’s recent match against Marina Shafir at Revolution, where she also had a notable interaction with Ronda Rousey. However, according to Dave Meltzer, that’s not the case.

Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Meltzer indicated that Storm’s absence is not tied to any physical issue. Instead, he noted that the situation developed suddenly behind the scenes.

According to Meltzer, Storm was originally scheduled to compete on last week’s Dynamite, but plans changed the day of the show. AEW reportedly had to pivot quickly, creating the backstage attack angle to explain her sudden removal from television. Mina Shirakawa ultimately stepped in as her replacement and picked up a win over Shafir.

While the storyline explanation is already unfolding on-screen, the real-life timeline may be even more significant. A report from Fightful Select suggests that Storm could be out of action for an extended period, potentially missing all of 2026.

That leaves AEW in an interesting position creatively. The “whodunnit” angle offers a built-in way to keep Storm relevant during her absence, while also elevating other names in the women’s division as suspects or key players in the unfolding story.

For now, fans can expect the mystery surrounding Toni Storm’s “attack” to continue developing on television—even if the real reason behind her hiatus remains outside the ring.

Ronda Rousey’s AEW Status Remains Unclear Following Surprise Revolution Appearance

Ronda Rousey made headlines at AEW Revolution 2026 with a shocking appearance that instantly got fans talking—but as it turns out, her long-term future with the company is anything but certain.

The former WWE and UFC star emerged during Toni Storm’s segment at the pay-per-view, teasing a potential confrontation with the “Timeless” champion. Before the situation could escalate, officials rushed in to break things up. That distraction opened the door for Marina Shafir—Rousey’s longtime ally—to ambush Storm from behind, adding another layer to the ongoing tension.

Despite the buzz generated by the cameo, a new report from Fightful Select suggests that Rousey has not officially signed with AEW. Sources within the company reportedly believe that, at least for now, her appearance was more of a one-off than the start of a full-time run. There’s also no clear indication yet whether AEW has concrete plans to bring her back in the near future.

The fallout from Revolution carried over to “AEW Dynamite,” where Storm was scheduled to face Shafir in a No Holds Barred match. However, things took a chaotic turn before the bout could even begin. Storm was found backstage, bloodied after an apparent attack that left her unable to compete. Mina Shirakawa stepped in as a replacement and picked up the win over Shafir, finishing things off with a spinning back fist followed by Storm Zero. Notably, Rousey was absent from the entire situation, adding more mystery to her involvement.

As for how the Revolution appearance came together, it appears to have been a mix of convenience and strong relationships. Rousey reportedly lives near Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena, where the event was held, and she maintains a positive rapport with AEW CEO Tony Khan—something Khan himself confirmed during the post-show media scrum.

Rousey is no stranger to the AEW/ROH orbit, having previously teamed with Shafir in Ring of Honor competition. Still, whether this latest appearance leads to something more substantial in AEW remains to be seen.

For now, fans are left with more questions than answers—and plenty of intrigue surrounding what Rousey might do next.

Toni Storm Pulled From AEW Dynamite at Last Minute, Real Injury Reportedly Behind Absence

There’s growing concern surrounding Toni Storm after her sudden removal from this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, and it sounds like this wasn’t part of the show’s creative plans.

Storm had originally been scheduled to face Marina Shafir in a No Holds Barred match on the March 18 broadcast, a bout that was being positioned as the blowoff to their ongoing feud. Instead, AEW aired a backstage attack angle that wrote Storm out of the show, with Mina Shirakawa stepping in as her replacement—and ultimately picking up the win.

While it initially played out like a storyline development, new details suggest otherwise.

Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Bryan Alvarez indicated that Storm’s absence was legitimate and not a planned angle. According to Alvarez, the decision to pull her came down at the last possible moment, despite AEW promoting the match right up until the show went live.

The belief is that Storm was not medically cleared to compete, with Alvarez noting that the company appeared to hold off on making a final call until just minutes before airtime. Dave Meltzer added that the injury could potentially stem from Storm’s recent match against Shafir at AEW Revolution, though that hasn’t been confirmed.

There’s also speculation that the late change could signal a more extended absence. Alvarez pointed out that if Storm were only going to miss a short period, it might have made more sense for Shafir to win and continue the storyline, rather than pivoting to Shirakawa scoring the victory. Still, he emphasized that this is only speculation, and there’s currently no official word on how long Storm could be sidelined.

If Storm is indeed dealing with an injury, it could also put her developing angle with Ronda Rousey on pause. Rousey made her AEW debut following Storm’s match at Revolution, teasing a high-profile program between the two. However, Rousey is already scheduled for an MMA return fight against Gina Carano, which may delay any immediate follow-up regardless of Storm’s status.

For now, AEW has yet to publicly address Storm’s condition, leaving fans waiting for further updates on one of the company’s top stars.

AEW/ROH’s Leila Grey Undergoes Successful Knee Surgery, Begins Road to Recovery

AEW/ROH talent Leila Grey has officially taken the next step in her recovery journey after confirming she recently underwent knee surgery.

Grey shared the update through her Instagram Stories, revealing that the procedure went smoothly following the torn ACL she suffered late last year. She told fans she’s already back home and preparing to start rehabilitation immediately.

“Hey guys. I finally had my knee surgery yesterday. Everything went well. I’m home recovering and starting therapy tomorrow. Thank you all for the support during this time,” Grey wrote.

The injury dates back to the December 6 episode of AEW Collision, where Grey challenged Mercedes Moné for the TBS Championship. The match was cut short after it became clear something was wrong, with Moné securing the win shortly after. Grey later explained the moment things went south, noting that she felt a pop in her knee after an awkward step while being driven into the corner. A second pop followed minutes later during a knee strike, confirming the severity of the situation.

Despite the setback, Grey didn’t immediately go under the knife. She previously shared that limited mobility in her knee delayed the surgery process into early 2025. Even more impressive, she pushed through the injury to compete in the World Beauty Fitness & Fashion competition just one week after the match.

Wearing a decorated knee brace, Grey managed to capture first place in the Diva Fitness Model 35+ category—an achievement that turned heads given the circumstances. She even brushed off any doubts about competing while injured, making it clear she wasn’t about to back down.

Now with surgery behind her, Grey’s focus shifts fully to recovery and rehab. There’s no timetable yet for her return to AEW action, but if her resilience so far is any indication, she’ll be one to watch once she’s cleared to step back into the ring.
