Zayda Steel is officially All Elite.
AEW President Tony Khan announced on Saturday night that the 22-year-old has signed a multi-year contract with All Elite Wrestling following her in-ring debut on last night's AEW Collision: Maximum Carnage special.
Steel faced Marina Shafir in her first AEW match, losing to "The Problem" in a hard-fought contest. Despite the defeat, the former WWE ID talent impressed enough to secure her spot on the roster.
"She put up a great fight in her AEW debut match on #AEWCollision tonight, and now it's official: @ZaydaSteel is All Elite!" Khan wrote on X.
Steel responded with a confident declaration of her own: "Y'all saw the fight. Now you're gonna see the rise. All Elite."

The Virginia native made her first AEW appearance on January 10, joining the SkyFlight faction alongside Scorpio Sky, Christopher Daniels, and the Martin Brothers. She replaces Leila Grey, who is currently sidelined with an injury.
Steel was part of WWE's ID program from November 2024 until October 2025, competing on the Evolve brand. She opted not to renew her contract and debuted for Ring of Honor in December before making the jump to AEW's main roster.
