Before joining AEW as a guest star in 2022 and full-time wrestler in 2023, Cameron had planned on pursuing a spot on the WWE roster. After her friends Shotzi Blackheart and Scarlett Bordeaux were released, however, she opted to roll with AEW, wrestling her second-ever match on the defunct online show “AEW Dark.”

“It was against Willow [Nightingale] actually, which is insane,” Cameron said. “I actually texted her the other day. … It’s so lame but I got emotional, so grateful and happy, because we’re together now.”

Years after that initial AEW match, Cameron and Nightingale would become tag team partners. Cameron credits Nightingale for carrying her through that first match, as it was so early in her career. Now, Cameron is doing her best to make up for lost time, with the wrestler revealing that she trains every single day so she can continue improving in the ring.
