A prominent former WWE athlete made an unannounced appearance just before AEW Dynamite tonight, marking a notable moment connected to the Tony Khan AEW debut landscape. Fans were caught off guard as this move came without any prior promotion or indication.
Lacey Lane, better known as Kayden Carter, gained recognition through her extensive NXT tenure with tag team partner Katana Chance. Their journey included a promotion to WWE’s main roster, but their tenure ended with a release in May. Following this, they observed the customary 90-day no-competition clause that only concluded recently.
Audience members observed Kayden Carter during Ring of Honor tapings preceding Dynamite, though details about her opponent or match specifics remain undisclosed. Her presence signals possible new opportunities after WWE.
Kayden Carter Expresses Enthusiasm for AEW’s Women’s Division
During a recent interview on Busted Open Radio, Kayden Carter opened up about her career prospects now that she remains unsigned by any major wrestling promotion and continues to work for independent promotions globally.
She expressed a genuine interest in joining AEW, citing admiration for the caliber of talent and the dynamic nature of their women’s roster. This clear preference suggests a potential future aligned with AEW’s competitive environment.
“Okay, so I know people will probably look down at me for saying this but I could give a s**t because whatever, I wanna work. I think AEW is my speed, because, you know, those girls can f**king go. I love the way that they work,” she said. —Kayden Carter
Transitioning from WWE Tag Team Success to AEW’s Solo Spotlight
During her WWE career, Carter primarily thrived as a tag-team competitor alongside Katana Chance, winning both the WWE and NXT Women’s Tag Team Championships. Whether she will pursue a solo career or continue in tag-team competition under the AEW banner remains uncertain.
This recent AEW presence ahead of Dynamite, an event overseen by Tony Khan, indicates an exciting transitional period. For Kayden Carter, this move could expand her visibility and opportunities in a new wrestling promotion renowned for its growing women’s division.
Her decision to align with AEW, supported by Tony Khan’s leadership, could significantly impact her career trajectory and add depth to the company’s roster, potentially leading to fresh storylines and matchups in the near future.
