A former WWE prospect has found a new home in the wrestling world, but her debut didn't go as planned! Zayda Steel, once a part of WWE's Independent Development program, has officially signed with AEW (All Elite Wrestling). However, her first match didn't end in victory.
But here's the twist: Zayda's signing was revealed right after her defeat at the hands of Marina Shafir on Collision. The match, which aired on January 17, was a showcase of Shafir's dominance, though Zayda put up a valiant effort. The 22-year-old Virginia native, now known as 'The Real Deal', fought until she couldn't anymore.
AEW president Tony Khan wasted no time in announcing the contract, giving Zayda the full promotional treatment. This move has sparked curiosity among fans, as Zayda's journey from WWE to AEW has been closely watched. And with her first match already in the books, the question remains: Will Zayda rise to the top in her new promotion?
A controversial take: Some might argue that Zayda's signing, despite the loss, is a strategic move by AEW to capitalize on her WWE background and build a compelling storyline. What do you think? Is Zayda destined for greatness in AEW, or will she struggle to find her footing? Share your predictions in the comments below!
