On Friday, All Elite Wrestling released the card for next Tuesday’s episode of AEW Dark.
This is where it was revealed that Rachael Ellering, who worked as Rachael Evers at different times in WWE NXT, will make her promotional debut when she wrestles Penelope Ford in a singles match.
After the news was made, Ellering took to her official Twitter account to comment on the appearance. She wrote the following:
“Oh y’all forgot about me? Next week is the first step in reproving myself. Proving that just because I was hidden away in a warehouse for a hot minute doesn’t mean I’ve lost what I had before. I can’t wait to earn back your support and trust. Let’s start the next chapter.”
