Queen Aminata, a prominent female figure in AEW, recently addressed rumors linking her romantically to Daniel Garcia. These claims surfaced after the two attended MJF and Alicia Atout‘s wedding together, stirring speculation among fans. Both Aminata and Garcia have been significant presences on Dynamite, with Garcia holding the former TNT Championship and Aminata consistently featured on AEW programming.
Clarifying the Relationship Between Queen Aminata and Daniel Garcia
During the wedding celebration, which included many members of the AEW locker room and has since gained widespread attention on social media, Daniel Garcia jokingly remarked that he had “bought Aminata as a date” for the event. This sarcastic comment was misunderstood by fans, leading to numerous congratulatory messages about a supposed romantic connection. To address the growing rumors, Queen Aminata took to social media platform X to set the record straight.
She clearly emphasized that she and Daniel Garcia are not dating, and their relationship is one of longstanding friendship dating back to their time on the independent wrestling circuit.
“IT IS A JOKE. We are not dating, we are good friends and we’ve been since the indies.”

Daniel Garcia Challenges AEW Locker Room’s Top Competitors
In recent weeks, Daniel Garcia—nicknamed The Red Death—voiced frustrations over past mistakes in his career but expressed confidence in his growth under proper guidance. This has culminated in his alliance with the Death Riders faction, which was prominently featured on a recent episode of Dynamite.
Garcia openly questioned the whereabouts of AEW’s self-proclaimed ‘heroes,’ such as Swerve Strickland and Will Ospreay, who had promised to confront his faction but were noticeably absent from the scene.
“I walked in this locker room today and I didn’t see any of the heroes. Where they at? Ospreay’s gone, Swerve’s gone. So the person who was waiting to get his hands on Jon Moxley was me. I was waiting in the parking lot a year ago with the Dark Order and Karen Jarrett, waiting to get my hands on Death Riders. Salivating at the mouth to get my hands on the Death Riders and tonight I finally got him.”

Implications for AEW’s Storylines and Fan Speculation
The denial of the dating rumors between Queen Aminata and Daniel Garcia clarifies ongoing speculation while preserving the professional and friendly nature of their relationship. Garcia’s recent remarks and actions suggest a surge in his storyline focus within AEW, especially with his addition to Death Riders and his open challenge to other key figures like Jon Moxley.
This dynamic is poised to add further intensity to upcoming AEW programming, with fans watching closely to see how these rivalries evolve and which locker room personalities will step forward next. For now, Aminata’s statement firmly establishes the platonic nature of her connection with Garcia amid increasing fan interest.
