Before joining WWE, Kylie Rae was a popular star on the independent wrestling circuit and was one of the inaugural members of the All Elite Wrestling women’s roster. She joined WWE working under the WWE ID Program. She became the first-ever, and only, WWE ID Women’s Champion. She vacated the title after announcing her pregnancy.
