A major former WWE Superstar made a surprising debut tonight just before AEW Dynamite. This was something that came without any prior announcement.

Lacey Lane (FKA Kayden Carter) is known for her long run in NXT alongside her tag team partner, Katana Chance. The duo then moved to the main roster, where they had a brief run before being released by WWE in May. Their 90-day, no-compete clause came to an end last month.

Several fans spotted Kayden Carter at the tapings for Ring of Honor ahead of tonight's episode of Dynamite. It was not revealed who she faced during her debut match for the promotion.

Kayden Carter talked about wanting to join AEW

Last month, while appearing on Busted Open Radio, the former WWE Superstar addressed her future in the business, as she was not signed to any major company at the time and had been taking bookings on the independent circuit worldwide.

She mentioned that despite what others might say or think, she wanted to compete for AEW. Kayden had high praise for their women's division and loved the work they were doing in the ring.

“Okay, so I know people will probably look down at me for saying this but I could give a s**t because whatever, I wanna work. I think AEW is my speed, because, you know, those girls can f**king go. I love the way that they work," she said. [H/T - TJR Wrestling]

During her time with the Stamford-based promotion, Kayden Carter was known as a tag-team star. Her best runs came alongside Katana Chance as they became both the WWE and NXT Women's Tag Team Champions, the first women to win both titles. Should she sign with All Elite Wrestling, it remains to be seen if Tony Khan will give her a prominent singles run.
