In an exciting development that has fans buzzing, AEW is gearing up to enhance its women’s division with new talent additions in the near future.
Following a significant recruitment drive throughout 2025 and the early months of 2026, reports suggest that AEW isn't finished bolstering its roster yet. According to a recent update from Fightful Select, the promotion is actively seeking to bring in more female wrestlers. This initiative aims to invigorate their lineup, providing fresh dynamics and opportunities within the women's category.
Interestingly, while several signings have already taken place, AEW has chosen to keep the identities of these new talents under wraps for the time being. No specific names were revealed, leaving fans curious about who might be joining the ranks.
Throughout recent months, AEW has welcomed notable wrestlers such as Andrade El Idolo, Jake Doyle, The Rascalz, Clark Connors, and Tommaso Ciampa, the latter of whom recently captured the TNT title on Collision. Additionally, AEW has formed collaborative agreements with CMLL for talents like Mascara Dorada and Persephone, signaling a strategic expansion in their wrestling operations.
This flurry of signings comes in the wake of several high-profile departures from AEW, including Powerhouse Hobbs, who made his WWE debut at the Royal Rumble. The year 2025 also saw popular wrestlers like Ricky Starks, Miro, Rey Fenix, and Malakai Black leave the company, raising questions about the shifting landscape of AEW’s talent pool.
