She didn’t give any details, but said she was overwhelmed to get the offer in the same week when she lost her home in a fire. She had tweeted about the fire in mid-September so if the timeline is accurate, she’s been under contract for a month.
Ivelisse made her AEW debut in mid-July in a loss to Diamante and then teamed with her in the first Women’s Tag Team Cup. The duo won the tourney with a finals victory over Brandi Rhodes and Allie.
Since then, she defeated KiLynn King and lost to NWA Women’s Champion Thunder Rosa in a much-discussed match. She also teamed with Diamante twice, defeating Rache Chanel and Skyler Moore and losing to Rosa and AEW Women’s Champion Hikaru Shida at the September 23rd Dynamite — the last time she has been on AEW TV.
The 33-year-old is the current SHINE Champion, a former Lucha Underground Trios Champion, was a member of the Impact Wrestling roster, and was on the 2011 WWE Tough Enough season, working for two years in developmental. She also had WWE tryouts over the past two years.
