Kylie Rae Returning to the Ring Following AEW Release

Kylie Rae will be returning to the ring tonight for the first time since AEW Double or Nothing on May 25, and for the first time since she was released from AEW.

Freelance Wrestling announced that Kylie Rae, their former FW Champion, will be wrestling Isaias Velazquez tonight at their Game of the Genders show in Frankfort, IL.

Unfortunately @Shotziblack will be unable to join us tonight.

But I think we found a more than suitable replacement.

AEW president Tony Khan said earlier this month that Rae requested her release from AEW, having wrestled just one match for the company.

She’s no longer with us. She asked for her release and we granted it. She called me and asked if she could be released from her contract and it was pretty simple. I said yeah and asked her if everything was OK and she said yeah. She didn’t want to be with the company anymore. We talked about it and it was very simple. So yeah, she’s not on our roster. Amicable. She’s a very nice person.

The specific details of why she requested her release aren’t currently publicly known.

Her Twitter account, which was deactivated a few months ago, is still not up.
